DIY Bride Book Giveaway #4
If you’re following along with recent posts, you’ll know I’m moving this month. To lighten my load, I’m giving away 2 more copies of my book The DIY Bride: 40 Fun Projects For Your Ultimate One-of-a-Kind Wedding.
Just leave a comment in response to this post between now and Sunday, 4/13. I’ll pick 2 random winners on Monday 4/14.
**I ask that only brides-to-be (and grooms, too) enter the contest, please. Since they’re the ones in the most need of the info & inspiration in the book, I strongly feel they’re the ones who should have the opportunity to win a copy. Thanks for your understanding!**
Good luck!

I was eying it at the book store last week.
April 6th, 2008 at 11:28 pm #lucy
Ooooh, I drooled over it at the bookstore, but the fiance made me hold off on purchasing it. I think even he’d agree that free is a good price!
April 7th, 2008 at 12:03 am #Shelly
Wow, I could really use this book since I am literally making everything myself because our fianances are low. I need favor ideas too! I have 1 year to make it all. I am even trying to make home made rock candy for favors… it is expensive to buy. Please pick us!
April 7th, 2008 at 12:11 am #Sara
Yes, please! I’m a craft-aholic. My best friend and I are planning our weddings at the same time and would love to share the inspiration!
April 7th, 2008 at 12:30 am #Shelly
This is my first time on your site. Please pick me for your book. Weddings can be so expensive and I’m dying to know how I can use my creativity to make our wedding unique.

April 7th, 2008 at 10:24 am #Shelly
I just came across your site and cannot believe how helpful it is already! My groom and I are planning our wedding all by ourselves which means we’re saving money while planning. I looked at our nearby store and don’t see your book so I’d LOVEE LOVVVVEEE to be one of the very very luck brides to get a copy of this. I’m already telling my groom how many things we can take on as a DIY project. He’s interested but we’re just not sure where to bring here.
So Pretty pretty please with sugar on top pick me
:-)
P.S. I hope your move goes well - I know how much of a hassel moves can be as I’ve ended up moving every other year for the last six years.
April 7th, 2008 at 10:34 am #Ian

I want to have a “Simply Elegant” celebration because I have truly found a prince!! But, between us, we have 5 kids!! Help!! Your book would be a definite blessing!!

Hi. I am a DIY by nature in most facets in my life. And a librarian marrying a professor of library and information science who has surprisingly not consulted a single alt wedding how-to book. Our wedding is three months away and we’ve been making lots of our own stuff and following the gut, but I am in a bit of a panic now. Good luck lightening the load and moving.

April 8th, 2008 at 1:03 pm #Rachel C. Boller
Thank you for your generosity to those of us brides-to-be! I have been very surprised at the negativity and discouragement that has been shot my way when I talk about doing certain things myself (or having my friends help me). Things like “You’ll NEVER have time for that” or “Your wedding has to cost at LEAST $XX,XXX.”

I am getting married on October and would love a copy fo your book for ideas and advice!

Hi, I am getting married soon, I am in the planning process right now. My fiance and I don’t have a lot of money right now and that is the only thing holding us back from getting married right now, so hopefully if I can do some parts of the wedding without having to buy all the stuff from wholesalers, I can get married sooner. This would definitely help! Thanks!

I am a graphic designer, so I am planning to add some DIY touches to my June 09 wedding (invites, decor, etc), and would love some advice!

My fiance and I are planning our wedding on the income of two civil servants (translation…..no money for a wedding). I love DIY anyway. It makes everything so much more personal and important. Our wedding is 8-8-08 and we just got engaged (took us FOREVER to afford rings) hehehe. Thanks for the consideration! Good luck with your move! (and as a professional…PLEASE lift with your knees!
)
