We are doing Real Wedding Wednesday a little different today. I received an email this morning from Bridal Guide Magazine and I am so excited about their upcoming Bridesmaids Twitter Party that I had to share it.
Behind every beautiful BG bride is a supporting case of girlfriends, sisters, or relatives who painstakingly helped her plan all of the exquisite details of her wedding day. We’re honoring all of the MOHs and ‘maids out there who have endured days of trying on dress after dress, gluing and assembling DIY projects, and lending an empathetic ear to inevitable meltdowns, all so that the big day goes off without a hitch.
The BG editors have teamed up with wedding guru Sharon Naylor to host an exclusive live chat on Twitter, where you can get personalized advice about all of the major elements involved with being in the bridal party! So, please plan to spend your lunch hour with us on Thursday, August 11 at 2 pm EST, where we’ll cover the 3 “B”s: bridesmaid dress shopping, throwing a bridal shower, and planning the bachelorette party.
Brides-to-be, chime in with your most pressing dilemmas and etiquette Q’s—what to do if bridesmaids are clashing, how much should their dresses cost, and more—and we’ll help you out! Best of all, you can enter to win prizes instantly! What we’re giving away:
Clockwise from top left: 25 copies of Bridesmaids on DVD: From Knocked Up producer Judd Apatow and starring SNL breakouts Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph comes the hilarious comedy Bridesmaids! On Blu-ray/DVD September 20; Kelly M. necklace: This gorgeous handmade necklace, valued at $42, features Swarovski crystals on a gold chain; A signed copy of Sharon’s books (Bridesmaid on a Budget and The Smart Guide to Bachelorette Parties), your go-to guides for all of your bridal party questions; One-time-use cameras from Kodak: Perfect for capturing the memories at your wedding or any pre-wedding festivities; $50 gift card to Michaels Crafts: Use it to make shower supplies, bachelorette bash items and more!
Follow these easy steps to join the conversation:
1. Sign in to Tweetchat, where you will log in with your Twitter account or create one if you don’t have a username yet.
2. At the top of the screen, type in “#bridesmaids” for the hashtag. On Twitter, the pound sign “#” (referred to as a hashtag) tags a specific topic and connects you with other people who are chatting about the same subject. Once you hit the “Go” button, you’ll be able to see tweets from all of the other participants in the party.
3. Each tweet that you send from Tweetchat will automatically get the “#bridesmaids” hashtag added to the end of it. The chat room auto-updates, so get your texting thumbs ready—responses will show up quickly on the site, so keep your eyes peeled so you don’t miss anything!
We will definitely be attending and are so excited for this great event. Hopefully we will get a chance to chat with you!!
