Project Wedding is seeking creative, detailed responses. They want to hear your story and see your pictures. In fact, the more we know the better! Feel free to write as much as you’d like, and upload as many photos as you think tell your story.

Mrs. Penguin will be one of the guest judges for the contest, so we’d LOVE to see some articles from hive members.

Good Luck — the contest is on now and ends tomorrow, Monday, July 19!

Mrs. Penguin here! This is a timely contest (although, I can’t enter… hehe) because Mr. Penguin and I will be traveling to Thailand next winter to celebrate our nuptials on the beach with my Thai family! I will be sure to pick up a copy of Fodor’s Thailand soon! But, you can win one right here! Thailand is an amazing place to honeymoon, with crystal blue beaches, amazing spicy food, and jungle treks on elephants. Today we’re giving away 5 copies on this perfect honeymoon destination.

Simply comment below to enter! And check out Fodor’s Internet Guide on Thailand here. You have until tonight, 12 PM PST to enter. Good luck!

This is one of our biggest contests ever, and we’re so excited we just can’t hide it!

Congrats SarahL!! You’re the winner of the Savenger Hunt gift certificate for 2!

~~~ 

After I blogged about the scavenger hunt I did through Watson Adventures last week, they dropped me a line to thank me because weddingbee readers had been calling them!  I had so much fun on the Ghosts of Greenwich Village hunt I did (I’m planning on doing Murder at the Met in January), I asked if they could give away a couple of tickets to a weddingbee reader.  So we’re giving away a gift certificate good for 2 people to any public hunt they offer!

Regularly scheduled hunts are available in Los Angeles, Boston, DC, Philadelphia and New York. Hunts are great as a bachelorette party alternative, attendant gift, or even something fun to do with your fiance (there’s a Naked at the Met Hunt for Valentine’s Day in New York).

To enter, tell us what city you live in and which hunt you’d like to do!  You have until 8 pm EST Tuesday to enter.  Good luck!

Today we’re giving away a $50 gift certificate to Ideal Favors where you can purchase favors, packaging, votives, lanterns, and much more.  Just comment below by 1:00 pm tomorrow to enter!

Ideal Favors is also offering 10% off orders of $50 or more to all weddingbee readers.  Simply enter the code “wedbee” at checkout.

And we’ll be giving something away every day for the rest of the month so be sure to tune in daily.  Good luck everyone!
