Giveaways and contests galore

I recently learned that a colleague of mine actually won a wedding in a radio contest. She doesn't use that nearly often enough as her fun fact when introducing herself to people, but maybe it does get a bit tiring to talk about it after awhile.

Anyway, a few different contests and giveaways popped up on my Reader lately that I wanted to share here:

• Lizzie and Isaiah have launched their own printable invites design shop! They're giving away one invitation suite for comments left on this post by next Tuesday evening.
• Becca of A Los Angeles Love is hosting a $150 giveaway from Williams-Sonoma if you create or add to your Williams-Sonoma registry. Enter by next Wednesday.
• Online wholesaler of flowers Blooms by the Box is teaming up with Budget Savvy Bride in a contest for a $500 gift certificate for the best essay on the DIY and budget-saving aspects of your wedding plans. Essay needs to be submitted by 9/19. I think I might write about the plan to make the dress so that the money that might've been spent on just one dress is being spent on developing skills I'll be able to use after the wedding, to try to highlight something that might be a bit different. We'll see.

Go forth and enter, my friends!
