Giveaway!
Brides and wedding guests alike may find themselves faced with wardrobe malfunctions or in need of a few minor dress tweaks. One thing I always have in my travel bag is my trusty package of fashion tape, which has helped me through many a friend’s wedding without making an embarrassment out of myself. I’ve used these double-sided tape strips on everything from dress and blouse necklines, shoulder straps, wrap dress skirt openings, and even to cover sore spots on toes from high heels.
I usually use just the “original strips”, but the added shapes and sizes in this “Glamorous Gown Assortment” sounded like a great kit for brides and wedding guests alike. This box of Hollywood Wedding Apparel Tape contains 30 clear double-stick strips.
What’s up for grabs:
One (1) box of Hollywood Wedding Apparel Tape (30 strips) will be given to two (2) winners. I’d like to see one prize go to a bride-to-be, and one prize to go to a wedding guest. Wedding season can be crazy not only for the brides, but also for the friends and family who have a calender full of weddings to attend!
How to enter:
Fill out the form below and submit to be entered. If you are a bride-to-be this year, please select the “I am a bride” option and put your wedding date in the box on the next page. If you are going to be a wedding guest this year, please select the “I am a guest” option and put how many weddings you’re invited to this year (one year, I was invited to 6!) on the next page. I will choose one winner from each category by random number generator at the close of the giveaway.
Rules:
- Only choose one category (bride or guest) when entering.
- Open to readers in the US and Canada.
- One winner will be chosen by random number generator from each category.
- I will notify the winners by email. Winners will have 48 hours to respond, before a new winner is chosen.
- Giveaway ends Sunday, February 5th at 11:59PM PT.
