Nordstrom $100 Gift Card Give Away

Enter to Win $100 Nordstrom Gift Card

Thanks to my generous friends from Designer Apparel I'm happy to be hooking up one lucky reader with $100 to Nordstrom!  I've posted plenty of style tips for my grooms out there and here is your chance to cash in. However guys, you'll have to act fast because this give away is equal opportunity and ladies are encouraged to enter!

Grooms are often so overwhelmed being there for their brides it's easy to forget about your own mother. For shame gentlemen, but Designer Apparel is here to help.  The Groom's mother wants to find the perfect dress just like anyone else, however sometimes her only channel into what to wear is via her son, which is often not a very reliable resource.

Guys, take a moment to figure out what colors would be a good option for your mom and send her to to Design Apparel's Mother of the Bride Dresses page for some excellent options. They are dedicated to helping the mother of the groom or bride find the perfect dress at the perfect price, without the hassle of driving to department stores all over town. I'm sure she'd love a dress by Adrianna Papell, Tadashi, Eileen Fisher (well at least thats what my mom tells me).

To Enter the Give Away  - Complete the following before Tuesday Sept 21st.
1. You must Leave a Comment (and way to contact you) on this post.

  5. I Already follow your twitter dear Benthegroom. And I think you could figure out how to contact me if I win $100 gift card :P

    I love that you have kept this up even after your own wedding. You're going to become a household name in the world of weddings - at least on the grooms end. Though I am curious...you should do a poll - do more grooms or brides read your blog??

  23. My future mother-in-law lost a lot of weight over the past year after surgery, and I think an Adrianne Papell dress for the wedding would let her show off all her hard work and give her a ton of confidence!
