I just got the jpeg from my publisher today for my first book cover! The Everything Mother of the Bride Book, 2nd Edition!  I am thrilled to share the cover with my avid blog readers first!  Well, my publicist did tweet about it first – sorry!  She’s my publicist – what can I say?  We are pretty excited over here!

Your emails have been so supportive. I just wanted to to send a big thanks to all of you!

So…I thought I would announce my first blog contest with this book cover announcement!!!!!!

Make a comment here about why your mom is the best mother of the bride.   The best comment (judging based on what my mom and I think) will get the following:

1. A signed copy of my book
2. $250 to go towards to your wedding budget

We have some time before my book gets here – so I am going to leave the contest open until March 15th.  Spread the word and start making comments. Good Luck!

When you leave a comment, I automatically have access to your email address – so be careful to write the right email address when asked so I can contact you if you win.

Stay tuned for Wednesday’s post!  If you haven’t heard or seen:  Every Wednesday my mom (Claudia Van Veen) comes on my blog and has a weekly Mother of the Bride Guest Post!  Super helpful for any mom prepping for a wedding.

Happy Planning!

UPDATE:  Thank you for all your comments!  We found our winner!
