THE FINALISTS ARE ...

Katherin C

Congrats ladies!!!!!!!!

You'll notice there are a top six instead of five. That's for a couple of reasons ... plus, we have an extremely generous prize list. :) (thank you thank you thank you vendors!)

There were a few other ladies that came in VERY close to that last spot so I have sent them a note, too, just in case. I might be able to swing meeting up with them, too.

For everyone else who didn't win, I will still be in touch with a bit of a thank you. Just hang tight as I have quite a bit happening this weekend (and there were 24 entries).

If you're interested, the next steps in the contest are ...

- arranging meetings with each lovely lady (or couple)
- after all are met with I'll take a couple days to declare my grand prize winner
- all other finalists will then be contacted and we're going to play some good old-school games for the remaining prizes :)

Again, thanks to everyone who entered and contributed ... this has been a blast!!!!! :hehe:

Cheers,

Susan

Here's what last year's grand prize winner had to say ...

"I encourage EVERYONE to enter.

My wedding's success and the non-stress leading up to it had everything to do with Susan. (As you will soon read in my review and my final blog post... when I do it.)

Not to mention, that the blog forced me to chronicle events that I wouldn't have on my own, I've always been terrible at keeping a diary. I now how some great written pieces to add to my Wedding Book... It's a win win, really!

Good luck to everyone who enters, this really is a fantastic opportunity for one lucky bride."

She's the wearer of the blue shoes in the above pic ;)

Alrighty ... important news with the contest!

I have decided to extend the deadline until 9am, Friday, August 1st. I want to see as many of you enter this as possible! So far the reads have been great but I want to see more. Let's make the judges really stress over their picks!

Remember that everyone who enters will receive something. It's worth a shot! Oh, and I've heard rumblings from a few people that they don't think they're good enough ... don't be silly! If you can email, you can blog.

So far I have received entries of people getting married this fall to well over a year from now ... any date goes! Remember that I sometimes add even more prizes ... ;)

Cheers,

Susan

PS ... I'm looking for an entrant with the first part of an email reading 'tmbooth' ... I don't have a name for you and I think my emails to you may be going into your junk folder. Would you mind PMing me, please?

FULL PLANNING CASTING CALL!!!!!!

MTShine — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 08:59:05 GMT

Back from vacation and it’s that time of year!

kd_2b_kk & bloggerbride have both gone and become betrothed so the [i]Moments That Shine[/i] blog is going to be in need of a new Bride-to-Be author.

Beginning today and lasting until midnight (eastern) on Wednesday, July 22nd, 2008, I will be looking for entries from any interested engaged brides. To qualify you must have a date that is set in stone*, be willing to meet a minimum amount of blog entries, be somewhat computer friendly and, last but not least, be in need of a planner!
[img]http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff102/moments_that_shine/blog%20authors/29cake_cut-1.jpg[/img]

For those of you who hadn’t yet discovered us when this offer ran last year, this is the brief run-down …

Right now is the call for entries. The entry should be a sample of your writing style, no more than 500 words. You can make it about any topic but if you make it about yourself and the wedding, you’ll have a leg up on some.

After the 22nd I will narrow down the entries to the top five with the help of a panel of five judges.

Those three brides-to-be will be contacted and we’ll have a getting-to-know-you meet up. It sounds all official but I swear it’s not! bloggerbride & kd_2b_kk would tell you it’s just so I know we’re a good fit to work with one another … that and who would pass up an opportunity to chat even more about the wedding?! ;)

After the meetings with the five ladies, I’ll make a decision on who the lucky lady is and we’ll start everything up.

Now, what’s in it for you? In a nutshell, me! This is the ONE free-of-charge full planning package Moments That Shine offers each year. That’s right … FULL planning. This isn’t for day-of coordination … it’s for the whole sha-bang. Some of the perks (but not all!):

* Full on-site coordination
* Access to all vendor resources
* Time & Budget Management
* Décor and Etiquette Advice
* Unlimited emails and phone calls
* Vendor & Client Meetings as needed

All entrants will be given a special offer, gift certificate, etc for participating and the finalists will have a little something extra. Honestly, this isn’t to be missed, folks. Hopefully the other ladies here can attest to how much fun this can be and how much help it was to them :)

What to Do:
Email me your name, wedding date, location and approximate guest list number along with a sample of your style of writing (if you would like to attach a Word document that’s cool … just remember, 500 words or less). The address is inquiries@momentsthatshine.com and please have it to me no later than midnight, July 22nd.

If you don’t get a reply from me saying I received it within a couple of days, please email me again. I don’t want to miss any of these! And if you need any more specifics on the contest or instructions, just email me and I’ll elaborate.

Can’t wait to hear from you all!!! :)

* this contest is not date specific. Preference will of course be given to those getting hitched a ways from now but I did have a finalist last year getting married within five months ...
