If you have any questions about the October Wed Hunt, you can send me a message or email me at bronzebudgetbride@live.com but first please read all the rules.

The Rules:

• The October Wed Hunt will be similar to an offline treasure hunt. There will be 13 prizes and 12 rounds. Each round will last for 10 minutes and numbered pumpkins will be hidden among the magazine articles every 10 minutes starting at 1:00 p.m. Eastern on Saturday October 23rd, 2010. So a pumpkin will be posted at 1:00, 1:10, 1:20 and so on until all the pumpkins are found.
  

• At the October Wed Hunt each pumpkin will have a number that correspond with each prize as they are listed now. So if you are the first to find a pumpkin with the number 8 then you are the winner of a "Just Married" decal!

• Once each pumpkin is hidden, a clue will be posted at the top of the page where it now says "October Wed Hunt is Saturday, October 23rd so RSVP today!"

•  The clues will lead to an article in the magazine/blog so if you are familiar with the articles then the pumpkins will be much easier to find.

• When you find the pumpkin in any round you must leave a comment telling the number on that pumpkin to indicate that you've found it. That will also let everyone know that it's been found!
  

• Only one prize will be awarded per person to ensure that more than one bride walks away with a prize. However, if you are the first to find 3 pumpkins throughout the Hunt then you'll get the chance to choose between those three prizes.
  

• Anyone can participate on your behalf but the winners must be a member of Bronze Budget Bride and reside in the USA. So make sure that all your helpers are signed up before the October Wed Hunt starts since they will not be able to leave a comment even if they are the first to find each prize.

• The Hunt starts at 1/12c and ends at 3:00/2:00c. A list of all the winners and the prizes awarded will be posted on Monday, October 25th!

• All winners will be notified via email and at that time you'll be given all the information necessary to claim your prize. Your name and contact information will also be sent to the vendor whose prize you won!
  

• Please keep in mind that the prizes that will have to be personalized may take at least 4-6 weeks to be shipped out.

• If you have any questions please feel free to send me a message here at Bronze Budget Bride or email me at BronzeBudgetBride@live.com before the day of the event so that I can answer all questions in a timely manner.

Thank you and don't forget to RSVP at the October Wed Hunt page!

To recap the rules which you can find HERE on the October Wed Hunt page a clue will be posted every 10 minutes for the two hours of the hunt which will lead you to a cute little pumpkin with a number on it. Once you've found the pumpkin, just comment letting everyone know you've found it by writing the number you see on it. The number will relate to the prize for that round in the order that are in now!

So browse through the pages of the magazine to get familiar with them and be at your computer on time Saturday, October 23rd to when the first clue is posted. I promise the clues won't be too difficult and you can use "SEARCH" in the upper left corner of the site to help you!!

Good Luck!! :)

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we've got some really great sponsors for our October Wed Hunt and I'm so glad that Forever Friends is one of them! First let me share this piece of information I read and loved from their Facebook fan page:

"Email and text messages have become a usual means of communication, but when it comes to the landmarks of our lives, the simple art of the written word on paper is customary, appropriate and above all everlasting. When we receive an invitation to a special event, a thank you note or a simple letter on beautiful stationery through the mail, we feel special and it is often kept and valued for years to come. Forever Friends is a great source for fine quality personalized printed products; as owner Beth Fruchtman pays attention to every last detail to ensure your end product is perfect for your occasion and stays within your budget."

And Beth of Forever Friends was so kind to donate a Bridal Bingo Game that you can win at the October Wed Hunt because you don't want to have a boring wedding shower, right!
