Topic: Rhy'Din Wedding Fair & Expo

Hello, everyone! I apologize for the OOC post, but I'm not sure where to post this so that people will actually see it.

I'm hoping to have Miranda organize a Wedding Fair & Expo sometime in the near future in which various merchants and vendors all over Rhy'Din will be able to feature their wares.

There would be a luncheon and fashion show featuring various designers, among other events. I'm thinking it would be a single day event, but if there's enough interest, it could go longer. This would be a board-only event, not live, and if it's popular enough, it could become an annual event.

I'm hoping to get other players involved who might be interested in promoting their businesses, as well as those who might want to attend, along with some press coverage. Some ideas for businesses that might be interested are:

Fashion Designers Clothiers Caterers Restaurants Photographers Artists Jewelers Musicians Florists Hoteliers Travel Agents Engravers Bakeries Stationers Wineries Carriage/Limousine Services

And the list goes on. Any business that might have anything to do with a wedding or honeymoon would be welcome.

I'm asking all of you to do two things:

1. Reply to the Poll, so I know if there is an interest and when people would prefer such an event to take place. 2. PM me if you're interested in featuring your character or their business in some way and let me know what you'd like to do.

If there's enough interest, this event will take place sometime in the near future, so let me know!

As you all can see from the Poll, the majority of votes were for summer, so summer it is! I don't have a date yet, but will post one as soon as I do. Also, I have only heard from two players regarding this event, and I know there are more players out there with shops and such that might like to participate, so please drop me a PM, so I know who's interested. Don't be shy. I don't bite ....hard. ;)

Just a quick update ....

The date for the Wedding Faire & Expo will be July 24th. It will be a board event only. I will be opening a thread and posting more info as the date gets closer. If anyone is interested in participating, please PM me with info as I'll be posting a list of participants and events in the near future. Of course, everyone is welcome to attend. :)

Thanks for reading and thanks to those who have already expressed their interest! :)

Just a reminder that this event is coming up in a couple of weeks. I will be opening a thread and posting details sometime soon. This is your last chance to get involved, so if you have a business that you want featured, drop me a PM. Thanks for reading! :)

Also, I forgot about this, but if anyone would like to donate a few items for raffle, that would be awesome. The items should be wedding-related. Drop me a PM, if you're interested.

Everyone who participates in any way will, of course, be receiving an icon once the event is concluded.

Thanks, everyone! :)

Also, is anyone interested in catering a luncheon for the guests? If so, PM me! :)

Okay, I'm just about full up with female models. Thanks to everyone who's volunteered so far. You're all made of awesome! :)

Are there any guys out there who'd be willing to walk the runway in formal wear? :D

Wow! I am astounded at the number of replies I've received on this. Thank you, everyone, for your interest!

I'm going to end the call for models before I have to disappoint someone by saying no, as I've had more than enough responses. Thank you to everyone who volunteered. You're all made of awesome!

I'm going to be posting a thread a little later in the week to get this thing rolling. You are all welcome to post your character modeling whatever outfit you prefer, so long as it's some kind of formal wear. (I will not be doing that for you. I am only adding a list of names. Unfortunately, I simply don't have the time!)

I'm still looking for a caterer for the luncheon and a few donated items to raffle off, if anyone is interested in that.

Watch this thread for further info. I will be posting the event in Community Events later this week. Thanks again, everyone! :)

Due to the overwhelming response to this playable, I'm going to set a deadline of this Thursday, 7/14, for any further donations and/or vendor requests, so we can get all this stuff compiled and posted in anticipation of the event on the 24th.

Everything else is covered.

Thanks so much to everyone who's responded. You are all made of awesome! :)
