It's Time to Plan Your Wedding!

It’s time to plan your dream wedding and what better way to start your wedding plans by attending Before I Do Bridal Fair on August 11 and 12!

If it's your first time to attend a Bridal Fair be prepared to be overwhelmed with the bustling crowd and the many wedding booths to check out. When I attended my first bridal fair I almost gave up. I was so overwhelmed with the crowd and exhibits. That's why the next time I attended a Bridal Fair I made sure that I'm prepared. With a little planning you too can navigate your way around and enjoy yourself. 

Invitations by Kenneth Uy

Here are some tips when attending a Bridal Fair:

• Check out which suppliers are joining Before I Do Bridal Fair and plan on which ones you’ll want to connect with. This will help you trim down which suppliers you need and save time. 
• Create a separate email address to be used while you are planning your wedding.  This way you can delete it when you no longer are interested in receiving special offers from the vendors.

• Bring a companion with you – best if you can get 2 or 3 people to attend the fair with you (your fiancee, best friend, mother, sister or maid of honor). Just remember not to bring your whole entourage. You might end up leaving early or not finish on time because everyone wants to look at this, at that...
• Bring your wedding card – Wedding card is just like your regular Business Card but this includes your name, your fiancee’s name, wedding date (if you have one set), mailing address, (wedding) email address, land line number and mobile number. Give this to suppliers who would ask for your wedding details. 
• Pre-register ahead of time ( http://bid12.doattend.com/ ) so that you do not have to fill out forms on the day of the fair. Just remember to bring your tickets! Remember, no ticket, no entry.
• Wear something comfortable and appropriate. Walking shoes is advisable. Be kind to your feet and don't go around the fair in heels. 
• Wedding suppliers will give out flyers at the fair. Be sure to have a folder or bag, big enough to hold all the literature that you'll be getting.  
• Ask lots of questions, that's what the exhibitors are there for! I guarantee you that they will be happy to answer all of your questions.

Megamall's longest running Bridal Fair!

Before I Do Bridal Fair is the most popular intimate bridal show in SM Megamall!

Attending Before I Do Bridal Fair will help eaze some of the pressure of planning your dream wedding by allowing you to compare, taste, touch and see what wedding specialists have to offer - all in one (ball)room.  Before I Do Bridal Fair brings you the latest trends and gives you the opportunity of connectiing with the service providers you need to create your special day. Bring your girlfriends, mom, and even your fiancé and enjoy the day.

Tips for Attending a Bridal Show

• Pre-register ahead of time ( http://bid11.doattend.com/) so that you do not have to fill out forms on the day of the show. Just remember to bring your tickets! Remember, no ticket, no entry.
• If you don't pre-register, make sure you register when you arrive at the show.  Registering will enter you into the hourly raffle drawings. 
• Create a separate email address to be used while you are planning your wedding.  This way you can delete it when you no longer are interested in receiving special offers from the vendors.
• Bring adhesive address labels.  This will save you a lot of time when you register at individual booths. Exhibitors will ask for your names, wedding date, contact number and email address so make sure to add these information to your label.
• Ask lots of questions, that's what the exhibitors are there for!
• Bring your cheque book in case you decide to book services or block dates with a deposit. Be sure to check on refund policies before giving any money, and read the contract carefully before signing.
• Collect any information you are interested in - take it home to look over again when you have some quiet time. Don't forget to come back the next day and book your supplier! Booking between 10am to 1pm gives you a chance to double your tickets for the on site booking raffle. The lucky on site booker gets to win a 3 day 2 night stay at Hotel Vida!
• If you cannot attend, send someone else (your  fiancé, mom or maid of honor) to do the "window shopping" on services you need.
• Wear comfortable shoes and have a great time!

See you on May 26 and 27, 2012, Saturday and Sunday, at Megatrade Hall 3, SM Megamall. The exhibition hall is open from 10:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.

The "Hunger Games" Promo

Feeling lucky today? "Hunger Games Promo" is extended until 12 midnight! Join now and be one of the 10 lucky winners.

HerWord.com is giving away "Hunger Games" theatrical posters & keychains!

"Hunger Games" synopsis:

Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which "Tributes" must fight with one another until one survivor remains.

Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she's ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

"The Hunger Games" is directed by Gary Ross, with a screenplay by Gary Ross and Suzanne Collins and Billy Ray, and produced by Nina Jacobson's Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. Suzanne Collins' best-selling novel, the first in a trilogy published by Scholastic that has over 23.5 million copies in print in the United States alone, has developed a massive global following. It has spent more than 160 consecutive weeks/more than three consecutive year.

Want to watch "Jekyll and Hyde?"

HerWord.com, in partnership with Rep Phils, is giving away 2 tickets to the PRESS PREVIEW of "Jekyll and Hyde" on March 15, 2012 at Onstage, Greenbelt 1 to five (5) lucky HerWord.com subscribers.

Synopsis of "Jekyl & Hyde":

An evocative tale of the epic battle between good and evil, "Jekyll & Hyde" is based on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic story about a brilliant doctor whose experiments with human personality create a murderous counterpart. Convinced the cure for his father's mental illness lies in the separation of Man's evil nature from his good, Dr. Henry Jekyll unwittingly unleashes his own dark side, wreaking havoc in the streets of late 19th century London as the savage, maniacal Edward Hyde.

NP Bridal Lounge

It was around 2004 when I chanced upon an advertisement for a photo and video package at a Konika Developing Center at Malibay, Pasay city. I said to myself, "Hmmm... Maybe I can invite them to join our bridal fair at SM North EDSA". I desperately needed suppliers back then since it was the first bridal fair at SM North EDSA and the mall wanted us to have it at the 3rd floor. Hayyy... that one was really a challenge and I was so happy that they said "Yes!" to our invitation..

After that bridal fair, Nice Print Photography was born. I believe that was the very first bridal fair that they joined. Their packages were so affordable that I even gave them 2 clients to cover and my clients were very happy with their service.

Nice Print formally opened in 2005 and since then they have been creating new ways to serve their clients better. Now that Nice Print has grown with a group of companies under its wing to cater to every events service that you'll ever need. There's Print Divas - an invitations & all printed materials specialist, Studio on Wheels - photo booth service, Exige Weddings - high end photo & video division of Nice Print, Style Diaries - a concept & photo styling service, and Margarush - an events margarita booth.

Now, wouldn't it be great if you can find all these in one lovely showroom? But why just a showroom, right? So it was a great that they finally created NP Bridal Lounge. Believe me... it is really a lounge area. When you enter and see what Style Diaries did to the room, you wouldn't want to go home. You would rather sit down and stay. The lounge attendant would offer you hot gourmet coffee and cookies. Grabe! I so loved the cookies! Kakahiya to admit that I went for a 3rd serving.

It was truly a well thought interior design with the couples and clients in mind. If you're a groom who let's the bride decide for your wedding, don't worry that you'll just be there for nothing. As I've said, NP Bridal Lounge had YOU in mind when they opened the lounge. Yes, YOU! Why do I say so? Well, there's FREE wifi! Now who doesn't love that? If you're bored, you can always log on and play your favorite online game or update your Facebook status and let people know that you're at NP Bridal Lounge.

Once you book any of the companies under Nice Print, you'll also get to meet (and book) their Wedding Partners at the lounge (wedding planners, florists, caterers, designers). Some Wedding Partners have displayed their creations for your to see - cakes, gowns, table set ups, sample bouquets, etc.

NP Bridal Lounge wants clients to escape to a different world when they visit. One that will allow them to be at ease and plan better for their wedding. You're not limited to the services they offer... because they offer you the total experience.

So when you're finished reading this, make sure to visit them at Unit 206, 2nd floor, Emerald Place Building, 604 Shaw Boulevard, Pasig City. They're open everyday, from 9:30am to 6:30pm. Parking? Of course there's parking! Just tell the guard that you're visiting Nice Print and he'll assist you.

Special discount and FREE passes for Before I Do Bridal Fair awaits clients who will book Simply Beautiful Events at NP Bridal Lounge.

Mark and Maan's Boracay Adventure

I’ve known the contest of Before I Do Bridal Fair Series through Weddings @ Work (W@W). After reading one of the emails, I went to the fan page and tried our luck in joining by just sending our photo entry “Captain Shakey’s Proposal” which gathered 503 LIKES.

Thanks to all the people who supported (Classmates since primary, secondary and tertiary. our officemates and all our relatives) for liking our entry and making us THE WINNER.

Thanks to Summer, for allowing us to get the GC hassle free via LBC. We got the GC immediately.. Problem encountered after receiving the GC, because it is only valid until November 2011 and our wedding is January 2012. One of the options is to sell the GC before it expires. But Mark pushed me and we decided to go directly to 7 Stones Suites Boracay (Manila Office) to ask if we can still use the GC after our wedding. Luckily, and with Mark’s Charm... haha.. we were allowed to use the GC and we were scheduled a week after our wedding (4D3N). Yey!

7 Stones, a very private Suite located across D’Mall. The place is nice, the services are good and they have friendly staffs. Recommended for Couples on Honeymoon.. Since our accommodation is free, we were able to try “Total Adventure” which we never tried before (Air: Parasailing, Water: Reef Walking, Land: ATV). We really had a wonderful experience in Boracay.

Thank You ‘Before I Do’ for this very precious wedding gift! God Bless! Cheers!

-Blissfully Married-

Before I Do Bridal Fair 10th Ed. Post-Event Press Release

The “Before I Do” Bridal Fair 10th Ed. was held last November 18 to 20, 2011 at Megatrade Hall 3, SM Megamall. Organized by VRC Creative Events Management Corp., headed by Wedding Planner, Coordinator & Events Organizer extraordinaire, Ms. Summer “Sam” Carullo.

The Before I Do Bridal Fair had more than 80 exhibitors with tons of activities, cool raffle prizes and even a surprise wedding proposal of Ace Apostol to Kay Tarroza last November 19, 2011. Wingdingz Invitations bagged the Top Booker title with 61 bookings and the photo entry of Rochel and Lee won the Best Prenup Photo Contest. Rochel and Lee got 1,52 votes and won for themselves a wedding cake! Their official photographer, Nice Print Photography, won an overnight stay at One Tagaytay Place!

Before I Do Bridal Fair was supported by Hotel Vida, Party Channel, Sound Level, Nice Print Photography, Business World, Wedding Planner Magazine, Wedding Digest, 88DB.com, Bridalbook.ph, Kasal.com and Herword.com.

VRC Creative Events Management Corp. was KIND enough to offer to have a fairly NEW and UNKNOWN “talent manager”, Ana Marie G. Herrera, showcase her YOUNG and brilliant “pool” of singers/performers and lone instrumentalist/saxophonist. The “stage” was available to “entertain” the exhibitors, partners, sponsors and guests of the Bridal Fair.

Dale Guevarra, Voce Bella (female singing trio: Princess Faith Priel, Jinky Cruz and Eizel Mercado), Harvey Sison and Mhyr Priol Flores serenaded as well as surprised and amazed those present inside Megatrade Hall 3 with their PURE, CLEAR and POWERFUL God given voices.

The 3-day Bridal Fair provided the necessary exposure for the “talents” to prospect couples. To date, because of the group’s participation … even if just for 2 hours each day, Ms Herrera CONFIRMS a booking for a wedding between Mr. Wowie Benitez and Ms. Gail Duque scheduled on February 11, 2012! ☺

This event also paved the way for the group to provide the “opening” performances for the HerWord.com 10^th Anniversary held last November 30 at the Eastwood Central Park.

Bookings of the “talents” can be scheduled and coordinated through Ms. Ana Herrera (Talent Manager), email: ask4talents@gmail.com and mobile number (0916) 532-1745.

VRC Creative Events Management Corp. will have another event scheduled on May 26 and 27, 2012. If you need to look for the best suppliers for your wedding or special occasions be sure to attend the next Before I Do Bridal Fair!

Thank you!

As we bid 2011 goodbye, allow us to

- our supporters, exhibitors, sponsors and clients. We had a good year, blessed and full of trials and accomplishments to be grateful for. We wouldn't have done it without your support and confidence in us and in our services. Because of you, we strive to be better everyday.

Thank you and God bless you more. Have a healthy and safe new year ahead.
