Marine Birthday Bash!

No, it's not too early!  Don't even lie.  I know y'all have already started shopping for a dress! ;)

Semper Wifey is celebrating the Marine Corps' 236th birthday in a BIG way! 


From November 8-11, there will be a week long blogging celebration that YOU are invited to!  EVERYONE is welcome to participate...not just Marines wives! 


Each day will have a different theme.  All you have to do is write/create/photograph a blog post (you can even link up an old post) that relates to the theme, grab a party button, and link up your post at Semper Wifey!  Each post you link up (one per day) will enter you into a special giveaway for that day, plus each link will give your own blog more exposure!  (The winner must have a button on their post or sidebar to be eligible to win.)  One theme, one link, one prize, each day.  Make sense?  (If not, please email me!) 
  • Tuesday, November 8: Land of the Free!  Share a post about whatever you want!  Let's kick this off BIG!
  • Wednesday, November 9: Share a post about a Marine Corps/military/patriotic project/craft you've made/put together/photographed (ie. craft, birthday cake, recipe, outfit, poem, essay, etc.)!
  • Thursday, November 10: Share your happy birthday message to the USMC! 
  • Friday, November 11: Share a post about what you wore/will wear to the Birthday Ball! Or, if you'd rather, share a post about dressing up for a very special occasion (date night, wedding, birthday party--whenever you thought you looked especially good!).

Start brainstorming about your posts!  If you're a vendor, I would love to talk to you about giveaways for the Marine Birthday Bash!  Please email me for more information!  The Birthday Bash will provide TONS of FREE advertising for your product!

Don't forget to grab a button...or two!

    Darn, I get just a teensy bit jelous at all the fun things Marine's have and all the super pride they and their families show. This doesn't so much happen up here :P Sounds awesome though! Have fun! (the dress shopping sounds great!)

    Definitely can't wait! Husband will be on deployment so this will be a great way to remember what he does as a Marine! :)

    "This is right on. There are many times when I feel like I'll never make it through. We haven't done a deployment yet, but I know it's coming very soon. 'I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength.'"

    That's how it was for me for the past 3 years. No deployment, but knowing it was coming very soon. That verse has helped me so much knowing that I am not doing this is my own strength but God's. Thanks for commenting! :) Good luck find a dress!!
