I just got a message from someone at 21st Century & Today's Bride saying I won a few bridal gifts and a trip... I am assuming this is bs and should not even call back - has anyone else received any calls like this. Is it worth calling back?

I got the same phone call a few weeks ago. I scheduled it to shut them up but never showed up. Not really my thing!

I went to the presentation and their free gifts are not really worth anything. I got an internet 'gift certificate'. Which means I can go to a website and use my $500 gift certificate to purchase things that you can find in a dollar store and then you have to pay shipping. I couldn't even find $500 worth of stuff to buy.
The presentation was kinda nice and if you are looking to purchase your own cookware then maybe it's worth it. Think they give you a honeymoon if you buy $3K worth of their products.
They also give you one of those coupons for free hotel night but I think you had to pay $20 booking fee (so really not free huh?)

I have gotten a number of these calls, and have never called back. They always say..'I can only hold your prizes for such and such amount of time..' IMO, they are trying to get you through the door,

FI and I did this last weekend. You go listen to a presentation with a few other couples. They try to sell you pots and pans, china, flatware, etc. Your prize is to get that stuff at discounted prices. But the packages are still really high, he said half the couples usually don't buy anything. We still got our 3 day/2 night prize, not sure how legit it is. When we're ready to book our HM I'm gonna see bc it's supposed to be good for 18 months. If it's true then that's great but if not we didn't really lose anything. Found out some interesting things at the presentation and got to sample some food. It was something different to do one afternoon.
