First Annual Bridesmaid Bar Crawl Serves Up Fun for Women

Girls’ night out includes an opportunity to give back…and win diamonds!

MINNEAPOLIS--()--‘Tis the season for weddings… when thousands of women across the Twin Cities will purchase expensive bridesmaid dresses they may never wear again. Unless they attend the Bridesmaid Bar Crawl™!

The first Twin Cities bar crawl designed by and for women, the Bridesmaid Bar Crawl kicks off at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 17 at Seven Ultralounge in downtown Minneapolis. With each $20 ticket purchase, guests will receive one wristband and one raffle ticket.

“Women in their 20s and 30s have closets filled with adorable dresses that are collecting dust,” said Whitney Mares, owner, Bridesmaid Bar Crawl LLC. “This is an opportunity to wear those dresses while hitting the town with girlfriends. For ladies that prefer a hideous bridesmaid dress, Ragstock has options in stock at their Uptown and Mall of America locations.”

Bars and Specials
The event is supported by Crispin Cider, Chambord Flavored Vodka, Finlandia Vodka, Little Black Dress Wine and X-Rated Fusion Liqueur. Free cover and drink specials will be available from 7 p.m. to midnight at Seven Ultralounge, Bar 508, Drink, The Local, The Imperial Room, Lyon’s Pub and Bootleggers.

For ladies looking to get pampered before the event, Haven Salon is offering $40 up-dos and Smart & Chic Bride is providing free lashes with any service. Ragstock will also offer bridesmaid dress specials for $12 and $20 at key locations.

Bridesmaid Bar Crawl Raffle
With each ticket to the Bar Crawl, guests receive one raffle ticket and the opportunity to win more than $2,000 in prizes - including a Badgley Mischka Couture Nikki Gloss Clutch valued at $895 and .5 carat diamond earrings valued at nearly $1,000. Additional raffle tickets may be purchased for $10 each. For official rules, please visit http://www.bridesmaidbarcrawl.com/raffle#!__rules.

Giving Back to the Community
A portion of proceeds will go to Operation Glass Slipper, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing prom gowns and accessories free of charge to Twin Cities-area high school girls whose financial circumstances make it impossible for them to attend prom due to cost.

The Bridesmaid Bar Crawl is further supporting Operation Glass Slipper through a dress and accessory drive at Seven Ultralounge on the night of the event. For each gently used dress or accessory (jewelry, shoes) guests donate, they will receive an additional raffle ticket.

“It’s exciting to offer ladies the first and only bar crawl that’s all about friends, fun and fabulous cocktails,” said Mares. “But the most rewarding aspect of the event is the opportunity to share dresses and accessories we’ve loved with girls who deserve to feel like a princess on prom night.”
