12 Days of Sharing

This is a special post to get you involved in our

"12 Days of Sharing" promotion! Starbucks is having a promotion from December 1st to 12th, so we thought that we would too!

If you're already a fan of ours on Facebook, then you probably know about this contest - but if you're not yet....what are you waiting for?!? (Ahem, a good bribe perhaps? Well, this is it.)

For existing fans of The Bride's Butler on Facebook:

All you have to do is tell your friends and family to officially 'like' us on Facebook and you could win a $20 gift card. As the winner you get to choose if you want your gift card to be from the LCBO, Beer Store or Starbucks. To be entered to win, you must have your friend or family member write on the page wall that you sent them. For example "Stacey Smith sent me" or "Referred by Stacey Smith" and volia, you (a.k.a Stacey Smith) will be entered to win the gift card of choice. The winner will be announced on the Facebook Fan Page on Monday, December 13th.

To make it even easier for you, copy and paste this in a message to your friends:

Hi,
I’m a fan of The Bride’s Butler on Facebook and you should be too! You could win a Starbucks gift card by supporting this Hamilton based Wedding & Event company. Just “Like” the page and write on the wall that I sent you and you’re entered to win!

Chances of winning depend on how many people you tell about us. So start sharing, you’ve got 12 days to spread the love!


For the newbies:

If you've been referred to our Facebook Fan Page between Dec 1-12, you are a NEW fan. Let us know who sent you and you could win a Starbucks gift card. There are 1 a day to be won, so as long as you 'like' us between December 1st to 12th, you're good for an entry. All 12 winners will be announced on the wall following the promotion on December 13th, 2010.

Questions? You can reach us through email, info@bridesbutler.ca, or @Bridesbutler on Twitter or message us on Facebook.


Thanks for supporting The Bride's Butler - and good luck!


Happy Holidays!

Happy New Year!!

Welcome 2010!

It's a new year. A fresh start? Or continued excitement? What's the beginning of your year looking like? Are you planning a wedding? Attending a wedding? What about resolutions? Got any?

As a bride, you probably have a few - check out the article on The Knot entitled "10 Resolutions for every Bride". for a few recommended resolutions.You may want to add some of them to your list of 'goals', or you may just find it a funny read. Here's hoping that whatever tasks you choose to add to your resolution list, you accomplish them, cause everyone loves the sweet smell of success.

Speaking of success, The Bride's Butler has a few goals for 2010.

1. Blogging! We want to keep our readers/followers/fans and clients up to date on what's happening within our company and the wedding & event industry. We aim to post every 5 days or so.
2. To have over 200 Facebook Fans by peak wedding season, June 2010. If you're a fan, thanks for the love...if you're not a fan yet, why not?

3. Keep offering clients the best service we can at the most affordable  rates! We are continuously working with other wedding/event vendors to give you exclusive rates and extras not offered without a referral. Saving you money  is just as important to us as it is to you.

4. And of course, this year, we want to continue to get noticed!! We want The Bride's Butler to be 1 of the top 3, or better yet, the only Wedding & Event Planning company you think of when dreaming, thinking and planning your wedding in the Hamilton and surrounding areas.

Look for our ad in the Wedding Guide 2010 by Toronto Life Magazine, and our listing in Today's Bride featuring WPIC certified planners.

We hope that you reach your goals and that we reach ours as well. In fact, if we can work together to reach our goals, that's even better!

In order to reach your goals, you'll have to have a plan with set tasks and due dates. You should do research - and lot's of it.

For all you brides who got engaged over the holidays and are just starting your wedding planning - we recommend that you take your time at the Bridal Shows, ask lots of questions and try not to forget that a wedding isn't about money, or flowers, or colour schemes - it's about the love you have for another and how you will share one of the most important days of your lives together expressing your commitment to each other among the presence of friends and family.

Here's to a fantastic year ahead!
