Bachelorette Parties….Gone Wild?

July 30th, 2010 · 1 Comment

When a girl accepts the task of being a bridesmaid, she does it under one condition……planning the bachelorette party. This is there opportunity to make the cost of the dress, and all the wedding tasks worth while. Where bachelorette parties used to be a gals “last fling before the ring”, they have more recently morphed into an all out vacation of fun. From trips to Theme Parks to Vegas, or Spa Weekends and relaxation, bridesmaids have been taking things one step further.

Featuring our guest blogger Holly who recently experienced the ride of her life at her surprise bachelorette party.

“I just got back from a fabulous weekend in…. Colorado! My bridesmaids decided to throw me a surprise bachelorette party; the only thing I knew about it was which weekend it would be. Trust me – I tried getting information from everyone! Thursday night rolls around and Bridesmaid B is at my house packing my things (with a little help from me).  We get to make a trip to the store for some mysterious shoes – she wouldn’t let me go in with her AND she won’t let me see them. Early, early, early next morning – in the car driving to the Minneapolis airport to “pick up” Bridesmaid K; but we have to park and bring our luggage in? Ah ha – we are going on a plane – that much I figured out! Fast forward to the Denver Airport where I am told we are meeting Bridesmaid K to catch a connecting flight (yeah right! I don’t believe a word that is coming out of her mouth…) Bridesmaid B gets the phone call that Bridesmaid K is off the plane and off we are to find her.  Only she is in the car with my mom! Great surprise! Road trip from Denver to Estes Park Colorado – with apparently more surprises left.  Next morning – remember those mysterious shoes? I got to see them – they were water shoes…. What a weird thing to need in Colorado. That is – unless you are going white water rafting!

Unique Bachelorette Party

We went on a half day trip down the Cache LaPoudre River which was quite eventful and included a giant amount of water in the face, a frigid ‘swim’ down the river when our raft hit a bridge and dumped everyone out, a face-to-face encounter with a rattlesnake when getting out of the water after that swim, and tons of laughs.  We left Colorado with enough stories to last a lifetime as well as a plan to do it again next year! The best thing about this bachelorette party – the uniqueness and that nobody that I know has ever done it before!” –Holly the Bride

Local Companies help local organization

June 29th, 2010 · No Comments

Year after year, Go2Wed.com has saved a special place in their hearts for the children of Team 25. Our annual bridal show proceeds are donated to the Shjon Podein Childrens Foundation to help improve the quality of life of youth with extraordinary circumstances. Started by a Rochester, MN native, Shjon Podein and his Team 25 family are dedicated to helping kids out there who need it the most and by ‘Family’, they mean everyone involved. This organization brings everyone together at least once a year to see how the kids and their families which is just a small reason why this organization makes a BIG difference in the lives of the people they help.

Sunday night we were given the opportunity to really see all the wonderful things this team does for it’s “family”. As part of an annual tradition, the former NHL star Shjon Podein heads up a huge fundraiser that pulls in supporters from all over the country! With celebrity guests like Brad Paisley and Nicole Sullivan, and auction items that included sports memorabilia and fantastic trips, this event was all the buzz in this community. The 13th annual Celebrity Party and Concert was held Sunday night at the Rochester Event Center.

The evening included great food, a silent and a live auction and a concert by Minneapolis artist G.B. Leighton. Sponsors like the Go2Wed member Canadian Honker and Pepsi of Rochester, as well as Clear Channel Radio played a huge role in the success of this event.

The event raises thousands of dollars to help kids with disabilities, as part of Shjon’s TEAM 25 CHARITY organization.

It’s a huge event every year for this community and for the former NHL star. An event and organization that the Go2Wed team is proud to be a party of.

Diamond Dash winner receives a $15,000 ring

June 15th, 2010 · 1 Comment

It was a mad dash…..for a $15,000 diamond ring from R.F. Moeller Jewelers “lost” somewhere in Minneapolis! Over 300 teams took off from Loring Park in Minneapolis in hopes they could gain enough points by running all over Minneapolis solving clues.  All they needed was a phone to play and some text savvy. They traveled by foot, by bike, and even by rollerblades and scooters, but the best way to beat the crowd in this high tech adventure was to answer fast and right!

CLICK HERE TO VIEW SLIDESHOW FROM THE DIAMOND DASH EVENT

With a variety of sponsors including members of Go2Wed, Star Limo and Buttercream, teams completed challenges and answered trivia to move them throughout Minneapolis. Upon having to find “the FIRST Basilica located in the United States” they arrived at our challenge location, the St. Mary’s Basilica. Here they “Raced to the Altar” where one partner would drop to one knee for a proposal. Some couples re-pledged their love, some vowed to be friends forever, and for the guys who haven’t been down the rode yet, we watched squirm as they blew past the words to complete the challenge. After the challenge was complete, they were given their keyword “I do” which was used to get their next clue. And off they went.

Twin Cities Diamond Dash Winner

It was a fun-filled, and might I add rainy day, but it all ended well at Bootleggers in Minneapolis where the dashers congregated to enjoy food from CRAVE and drinks as they awaited the results.

The top 5 teams all received prizes including Minnesota Twins tickets, a pair of his and hers watches, and $1,000 gift certificate to R.F. Moeller. The winner of it all, flew down the stairs from the second floor when he received the phone call that he was the winner!

Check out all the fun videos on our Go2Wed You Tube Channel.
