Ok Guys... Let the posts on 2012 Bridal Shower Begin!

We are going to have a Chinese Auction at the 2012 Bridal Shower. So I need your help.

We are going to ask various vendors to donate a gift certificate for the auction. But I need your help. I have no problem emailing all the vendors but I figured they may be more receptive to someone they are already dealing with.

I have already reached out to many vendors and have received the following:

1. 2 Tickets to TWOTY from Client Services
2. 50 Gift Certificate to Jenerations
3. $50 Gift Certificate to Jenerations
4. Piece of Cake Events (She will get back to me with what exactly she is going to donate)
5. Camalot (I am going to speak to him on Thursday or Friday as to what the certificate is going to be for)

I have already reached out to:
1. Variety Music
2. Patken
3. my invitation vendor
4. Inn at Fox Hollow
5. For the Modern Bride

Please email me at [email protected] with the vendors that you are going to reach out to so that I make sure only one person is asking the place. Kim informed me that there is a new policy that you can only post prizes for the event given from LIWeddings/NYCityWeddings vendors.

Also, they can send the Gift Certificate to me (10 Leghorn Court, Huntington Station, NY 11746). Please make sure you FM me what gift certificates that you get confirmed so that I can keep my list up to date!

I agree with thinking of ways to hand out more tickets without having to pay..looks like we're gonna need lots of tickets with all these amazing giveaways floating in!

Agreed. And this is only the first day that I sent all of you fabulous 2012 girls to work!

Mara...I have done chinese auctions with some school events I have put on. One idea for rules could be that everyone gets one ticket for coming and then you can buy extras. The money we earn from the tickets that are bought can go to a charity of our choosing. Something like 1 tickets for $3, 3 for $5...

Love it! I think the charity idea is brilliant and I know the perfect one to do! Ill be back in a flash with the link!

ok here it is:

I e-mailed Laura at A Modern Day Affair and she said she'd like to do something. She just has to get back to me on what.

I can maybe see if North Island Photography, Verbena Designs, or Tommy Tunes would like to throw something in...

Did anybody talk to a make up artist? I don't have one, but a trial would certainly be an awesome addition!!

looks like all my vendors have been contacted already (Thomas Paul, Variety, B*rton) we are not emailing RHs right? cause at the time of the time, the prize would be pointless right?

Let me know if I could be other help!
