Wedding Advice – Here Comes the Blog

Archive for the ‘Contests’ Category

Guess what?!

We have a sponsor today that wants to give brides a nice pre-wedding gift! Not only that, but it will become the gift that just keeps giving.

Everyone brings their cameras to a wedding, but the bride and groom rarely get to see the photos. The process of emailing photos' around so everyone can see them normally always falls at the first hurdle with email size limits. You could see them on Facebook, but it would be low quality and hard to work with. That's where ShareMyWeddingPhotos.com comes in... allowing all the guests to upload their photos to an online folder, from which the bride and groom can then download them all in their original, full quality. It's quick and easy to set up, solving a massive problem for many newlyweds.

Be one of the first five to comment below and be sure to include your email address where it asks when you comment. It will not be public, only the editors of the blog will be able to see it, and then we will be able to contact you about your prize! We hope you take advantage of this opportunity!

Let the games begin
