Our Valentine’s Day Gift to You!

by

VIB-GIFT
Happy Valentine’s Day! What are you up to today? I’ll be having a cosy, intimate dinner at home with Mr STG this evening which I’m really looking forward to, but before that there’s some very exciting business to attend to!

You see, this Valentine’s morning I’m opening the doors to our shiny new private Facebook community for our Members Club Brides (a.k.a. known as VIB’s — Very Important Brides) where ALL the community action goes on, and it’s going to be ALL-SORTS-OF-FABULOUS!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last two weeks, you’ll have heard of (and many of you are already signed up to!) our fabulous new Members Club for Jewish and Jew-ish Brides — the VIB Club — that we launched two weeks ago at our epic Smashing Summit.

Smash-Pouch

Smash Glass Pouches (as above – gorgeous, right?!) have been posted out to VIB’s, and Wedding Vendor discounts have been claimed, but it’s only today that we are opening the doors to the VIB Club Facebook community where SO much of the action is happening!

What goes on inside the Members Club Facebook Community?

There’ll be ‘Ask The Rabbi’ sessions, Wedding Hashtag Masterminds, live interactive bridal masterclasses with Jewish wedding experts who ‘get it’, Bride’s Hot Seat (where I go split screen inside the group with one Bride and solve all her wedding planning issues live), a community of brides all over the world seeking advice and helping one another other, and SO much more!

And with today being the official day of love, I couldn’t let it pass by without giving YOU a gift with love from STG:

Here’s your 10 day access-all-areas pass inside the private VIB Club Facebook Community — just for you!

Just be aware though, that your 10 day access pass will not entitle you to any VIB discounts, gifts, or the limited-edition Smash Glass Pouch.

Next Sunday February 25th, should you not choose to sign up to become a VIB, you will lose access to the group and all the action, experts, advice, challenges, discussions, and community inside.

But should you choose to sign up I will:

  1. Be jumping for joy that I can get hands-on and help plan your wedding with you. YAY!
  2. Post you your limited edition Smash Glass Pouch
  3. Unlock you access to 100’s of handpicked wedding vendor discounts and gifts covering all budgets, locations and styles of wedding. These are vendors handpicked by me that I know well and personally recommend. The best in the business — who are just as emotionally invested in your wedding day as you are. 

I would SO love you to make this relationship official and have you sign up as a VIB  as there is SO much more to being a VIB then just the Facebook community. But for starters, experience everything the community has to offer with our 10 day access-all-areas pass. Just click here! 

I can’t wait to see you inside!
