Things have been hotting up on the website front. Yesterday saw a record number of visits since we started and it really was a lot higher! The number of visitors is going up day by day and so are the number of members which is great.

I have really been struggling to find new and interesting wedding favours in the UK. It seems we are a long way behind the American market in terms of interesting favours but I have managed to source some new suppliers so watch this space.

Our Mrs2Be membership cards should be with us soon as should or new mini brochure!

We also seem to have had a record number of requests and questions from our target audience, our brides to be! All sorts of enquiries are coming in and have resulted in leads and sales for some local suppliers which is what it is all about! Win - Win!

That's it for today.

We have added a new product to our shop this week - Mini Rolls of Love heart sweets. What a wonderful wedding favour these little rolls of sweets make. The Mrs2Be Membership packs are almost ready too! We are waiting for a couple more samples to come through and the labels and we should be ready to go!

This month - we are featured in "Wedding Ideas" magazine. We love this little magazine because it is so practical so go and pick up the July copy and you will be able to see Mrs2Be as an "Editor's Choice"!!

We have also been featured in The Liverpool Daily Post, the Chester Chronicle, the Manchester Evening News and Dee 106.3!

Some interesting facts that have come out of this week are:


  • 26% of brides hire a wedding planner to help plan their wedding.

  • Internet advertising has now overtaken radio advertising.

  • The amount of money being spent on Internet Advertising is now back to the level it was at during the dotcom boom.

Well - interesting to me anyway!

So what else has happened this week? Well we have been approached by a company selling a beautiful luxurious product who would like to offer their new Wedding Scenting service to Mrs2Be members at a discount! This particular product is currently sold in Harrods, Selfridges and Fortnum & Mason so we are very excited about it! The brochures and discounts will be distributed to our Executive Members.

Also - a celebrity stylist based in Manchester is producing some vouchers for our Executive Members giving them a 20% discount off their first cut & style!

We have added "Personalised Chocolate Bars" to our range of confectionary in the Mrs2Be online shop. And yes - they are very yummy!

I think that is it for this week! Have a fabulously sunny weekend.
