Sooo...what's this "Mom Prom"?  Do you get to wear a prom dress!??

braveangel2

It's a benefit for post partum depression, and even though it says Mom Prom, it's all ladies. You totally get to rock whatever dress you want - prom dress, maternity dress, vintage, LBD etc. I'm so excited to go because I never went to any of my proms. It also has some of the best marketing on the website I've ever seen. So cute!

I TOTALLY WANT TO GO!!! I'm so jealous!! Does it happen every year!?  Gah, now I just want to have a kid just so I can go!!  Kidding...but really...

Tygirljojo

Hmm....I wonder if we can host something for post-wedding-depression?? You know, wear your wedding dress one more time and all that.

Hahahaha...we Bumpies totally did that! A lot of us got back down to our wedding weight, so we dug out our dresses and went to town. My little icon pic is my best shot, but I'll see if I can find some more...they are totally gorgeous.

And you don't HAVE to be pregnant or a parent...just sayin'. ;0)

Tygirljojo

But I already have plans this Saturday *pout*  Well, take tons of pics and share it when you come back!!  I totally want to see!  Did you all get together to show off the dresses or did each of you do it on your own?

Group shots and individual shots...it was so cool. I'm trying to find the blog entry - I'll post them when I do!

Someday I'll get to meet you - maybe there will be some kind of Knottie gtg I can crash.

Tygirljojo

We have one every 6 weeks or so.  About due for one this month actually and you are definitely welcome to join! 

BTW, you were around during the time when Gocco was big - do you recall any advice other knotties had about it?  Like if lines/fonts had to be thick, etc?

braveangel2

Cool, thanks!!

I was actually a bit before the Gocco - but I was pretty involved on the Weddingbee boards around then, so I saw a lot of posts on it. I think they stopped making them, or maybe the bulbs, but I don't see a whole lot anymore. I'll take a look. I remember some things were hard to do with it, but others (like doing your own napkins) worked.

Tygirljojo

Awesome!  Yeah, I actually got lucky and scored a used one off a Seattle Knottie like a month after I started posting.  I've spent a ton getting the bulbs, screens, ink, etc for it and supplies definitely are getting very limited since they stopped making them.

I know it's a lot to slog through, but here's pretty much everything on WB that is related to the Gocco experience.

Wowza, that's a ton of info!  Thanks for finding it and sharing!
