Re: fortuneoffs survival....

I'm going, but I don't really know what its like. I think you compete doing all these things like making a bed and mixing a drink and stuff.

I went to the last one, there are vendors and lots of prizes. It is set up throughout the store. Last time Timeless Treasures were there, a DJ , photographer, etc.

prizes, were 1000 towards your registry, 2000 towards wedding bands , a honeymoon, etc

Re: fortuneoffs survival....

I went and I thought it was fun! They did musical chairs, fastest table setting, fastest sangria making (and they give you some to drink when you're done!), fastest bed making (that was pretty funny), there was a vendor information hunt (one of the ladies that worked there let us see her answer sheet...so we cheated royally on that one!) They also have limo people there, a bo-k toss...it was fun!

Re: fortuneoffs survival....

I wanna go but FH is addicted to football, so I'm not going none of my engaged girlfriends can go with me either.

How often do they have these?

It sounds like so much fun!

I'll go by myself, I don't think FI would want to go even if he wasn't working, lol.

Re: fortuneoffs survival....

i went last time - they have alot of games and prizes and it can be fun - i lost at musical chairs. You can also register if you havent already or if you add $1000 to your registry w/in a week of the event you get a giftcard! They have vendors you can meet with to and Bridal Reflections has models walking around all dressed up.

ETA: FH didnt have a very good time - i think it was more bride oriented but there were guys that were having fun.
