The Grand Prize winner will receive $1000, the second place winner will receive $500 and the third place winner will receive $250.


Here’s How to Enter:

 

  • First: Plan your design.
  • Second: Enlist a friend’s help (optional)
  • Third: Grab some Toilet Paper, Tape and/or Glue and/or Needle and Thread (that’s all you can use)!

Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest

Cheap Chic Weddings.com is holding it's 2011 Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest. This is our 7th year holding this fun and funky contest. Each year contestants make a wedding gown using toilet paper, tape, glue and/or needle and thread. They also create a headpiece. Some previous contestants made little extras as well, like purses, bouquets and even shoes. But the only items required to enter are the dress and headpiece.

The official date and rules of our wedding contest will be announced very soon. We are going to be posting all of the information needed to enter the contest. So check our site and our ezine for all of the details. Be sure and read over the rules carefully as they may have changed from previous years.

If you would like to enter this amazing wedding competition, now is the time to be thinking about your dress design. But don't make the dress at this time because the rules aren't published as yet and we wouldn't want you to have to start over.  

Some of our past winning dresses have been made in all different lengths. They have all had different design elements as well. For example, flowers, pleats, ruffles, molded paper to look like embroidery, basket weave, lace, braiding, corset strings, paper mache birds and even working toilet paper buttons.


So pull out your bridal magazines, check out some of our previous winners or use any other inspirational materials and start planning a dreamy toilet paper wedding dress. We want to see you in the winner's circle.

Fruit Delights For Your Bridal Shower

Fruit Delights

I came across some recipes in an old cookbook called "Gems From Georgia Kitchens" that you might like.
They sound kind of girly and would be perfect for a bridal shower and they're really good.

The first one is a fruity drink that isn't exactly a punch. It's called

Cold Fruit Delight

1 can Mandarin orange sections 2 cups membrane-free grapefruit sections
1 package frozen strawberries (fresh or frozen)
1 package frozen red raspberries 1 can pineapple tid-bits


Drain orange sections. Mix all other fruits with their juices. Chill in bowl set in cracked ice. Serve in punchcups or small brandy glasses, even a bigger wine glass. A less expensive alternative would be pretty plastic glasses. Now they come in beautiful colors and look very impressive. Fill them about half full then fill up with chilled champagne as served. Garnish with mint sprigs. This drink would also be good for a wedding breakfast. You could use sparkling wine instead of champagne or if an aloholic drink is not your bag use ginger ale.

Another great recipe that I had as a young woman at my grandmother's is a wonderful dessert that is so easy and so delicious. Everybody will love it. It is called

HEAVENLY HASH

Large can fruit cocktail
Small can crushed pineapple
Small jar maraschino cherries
1 cup chopped pecans, more or less depending on taste (optional)
1 cup fresh whipped cream , more or less
1/2 coconut, more or less depending on taste
Bag of miniature marshmallows or large ones cut in quarters.

I could never get enough of this. It really was heavenly.
