SAVE THE DATE! 9/23/2009, Hyatt Regency Downtown

Your Dream Day has partnered with the The Wedding Mafia to present a bridal show this fall. At the bridal show, there will be a silent auction that will benefit the Lupus Foundation. (This fall is a test run, we hope to do this throughout the year in 2010 if all goes well!)

What's so special about this silent auction and bridal show?

We are asking vendors and couples who have already had their weddings to donate lightly used wedding items (for which they will get a tax deduction for) to the silent auction. If you have a garage or basement with lots of lightly used wedding items collecting dust or taking up space, or you don't know what to do with it after the wedding, this is your chance! Brides that are getting married will have the opportunity to get some amazing bargains on these lightly used items (including centerpieces, vases, dresses, favors, unity candle bases, gift certificates for services, and who knows what else!) while helping out for a great cause.

REQUIREMENTS: Subject to Change.
1) If you have items to drop off, items will be accepted the week of the event at the Hyatt and you will receive a tax note upon dropping off your items. You must pack fragile items in newspaper and bring them in a box that the buyer can take easily off the premisis.
2) Any items purchased are sold as is and cannot be returned or exchanged after the auction.
3) You will get up to 50% write off for the amount you originally paid for the item, or what the current market value or sale price is for a similar item on ebay. Our appraisal of the item is not negotiable and you have the right to choose not to donate the items once hearing the amount of your write off.
4) Any items that do not sell may be reclaimed at the conclusion of the event. Any items not claimed by 12 noon the next day will be relinquised to Your Dream Day for use at its discretion at future events of this nature.

Admission to the show is free, compliments of the Wedding Mafia. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor or donating an item, please contact Your Dream Day or The Wedding Mafia.
