Time flies while you’re having fun, and with so much going on from booking vendors to crafting decorations to wrangling guests, the most beautiful moments of your engagement and journey toward becoming a bride can get lost in the shuffle. Not anymore! Amy Krause Rosenthall – author, creator, NPR contributor – has created a line of journals in which to document your precious memories: The Bride-To-Be Book.
The Bride-To-Be Book is designed for brides who want to preserve all the magic and excitement leading up to and including the big day: the proposal, the stories behind the ring and the dress, the parties, the toasts and speeches, and all the fun of celebrating with family and friends. With short and sweet prompts, brides are encouraged to write their memories and create a beautiful keepsake to treasure for years to come.
This week, one very lucky BAB will win a copy of
The Bride-To-Be Book! Roll up your sleeves, fire up your pen, and write everything down while it’s fresh in your mind…you’ll be glad you did!
There are two ways to enter to win! Just subscribe to our Broke-Ass Brigade newsletter (if you haven’t already) or leave a comment on this blog post! Please make sure to leave an email address, twitter handle, or some other way to contact you in your comment!

Thank you notes are (thankfully) one of the few must-dos after a wedding. You can tell nearly any tradition to go take a hike at your wedding, but please don’t skimp on the etiquette! Fortunately,THREE lucky BABs will have some help pulling off this time-honored custom in elegant style with a $25 gift certificate to Thank You Cards Shop!
Thank You Cards Shop has a wide range of styles, from tastefully modern to retro chic, many of which can be personalized with your names or one of your wedding photos, which will impress everyone. And after all, you spent a lot of time personalizing your wedding–shouldn’t the last impression people have of that day be equally personal and beautiful?
So show your mom that you’re an adult now–a classy adult who writes timely, elegant thank you notes on lovely cards from Thank You Cards Shop. Use your credit towards thank you cards, stationery – the sky is the limit!
