MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--‘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.”

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.”
