question
You mentioned Consignment and Rental?!

A: If you have a bridal gown that you were thinking of consigning, please consider Paper Doll. We would love to see the gown, and work out a fair market price with you for the dress. We can then consign it at a mutually agreed-upon price, with a 50-50 split, and if you don't mind, we can offer it up for rental as well (and we'll give you 10% of the gown's value or in-store credit each time it's rented!). After 18 months, if it's not sold, we will offer it back to you, or we can ship it to Ontario for the Bride's Project.If you have a prom gown you can't sell locally, that is within 2 years of purchase, please consider donating to our Princess Project in the fall.

Paper Doll Formals' 'Bridal Punch Card' . . .

Instead of buying 10 sandwiches to get 1 free, we reward you with free stuff MUCH sooner (or your choice of savings)! Once you purchase your gown from Paper Doll Formals, you receive a Bridal Punch Card. Once you buy your gown, headpiece and veil, you will get a free garter - of your choosing OR 10% off the headpiece and/or veil! Purchase all your bridesmaid dresses from Paper Doll, and you all receive a set of Sole Mates for your shoes OR 10% off each dress. Purchase either two Mother's dresses or one Mother's dress and a flower girl dress, and receive a set of toasting glasses, pilsner glasses or shot glasses OR 10% off each dress. Once your shoes and your bridesmaid's shoes are purchased, we will give you a free jewelry set OR 10% off each pair of shoes. And of course, with four tuxedo rentals, your groom's is free OR 10% off each tux! So much better for your waistline than ten sandwiches!

Paper Doll Formals' 'Refer a Few' Program . . .

For Brides: Purchase your new bridal gown from Paper Doll and refer 8 of your friends to the store to purchase their gown by the time your first anniversary comes. We'll keep a running total of your referrals, and when the 8th woman buys her gown from us, we'll write you a cheque reimbursing you the cost of your gown (minus taxes). The sooner you purchase your gown, the longer time you have to get your free gown! This only applies to other wedding gowns only.

For Grads: Purchase your prom gown from Paper Doll, refer 10 of your friends to the store to purchase their gowns and when the 10th grad buys her gown from us, we'll write you a cheque and reimburse you the cost of your gown (minus taxes). Must be within 12 months after your date of Prom. Prom, event/formal, or bridesmaid dresses are accepted, but not wedding gowns.

For Lady of the Lake Contestants: Purchase your evening gown from Paper Doll and refer other contestants in the same year or the following year. Include your prom friends in grade 12 to obtain 12 referrals. Must be purchased within 12 months after your date of Prom (so you have up to 3 years!). Prom, event/formal, or bridesmaid dresses are accepted, but not wedding gowns.

* Purchases of new, off-the-floor, or consignment gowns are all elegible for this promotion!!

Paper Doll Formals' Perks Packages . . .

What is the Perks Package?
We have teamed up with some local businesses to provide great deals for our brides. Offers vary from discounts to special services, depending on the participant.

For Brides: When you purchase your gown at Paper Doll on your first visit, you will save the HST on your headpiece and veil OR shoes when purchased at the same time. If you purchase your gown on the second visit, you will save 5%. There are no savings on subsequent visits. (You MUST tell us of this perk at the time of purchase) When you purchase your gown at any time, you will receive our exclusive Bridal Perks Package - a folder full of discounts and added services from local vendors to help you plan the wedding of your dreams! Check out our LINKS page for all the vendors involved. If you already have your gown, but purchase your bridesmaids gown from Paper Doll Formals, you and each bridesmaid will receive a set of Sole Mates as our gift to you OR save 10% on each dress.

For Grads: When you purchase your Prom gown at Paper Doll Formals, you receive our guarantee that no one else from your school will wear the same gown (if they purchase from us). We are also working on getting local vendors, specific to your area, involved in our exclusive Prom Perks Package. Typically, they will include a spa, hairdresser, florist, and drycleaner. The Prom Perks Package is in production right now, and once we have vendors signed on, we will announce their names on our Facebook Fan Page, and on our Prom gown page, so check back often to find out who we think are the best deals in your part of the School District! If you already have your gown, but purchase a pair of shoes from Paper Doll Formals, you will receive a set of Sole Mates as our gift to you. Your date will receive 10% off his tux rental.

For Grooms: If you are a Paper Doll Bride, when four men from your bridal party (including fathers!) rent their tuxes with us, the Groom gets his for FREE! If you are not a Paper Doll Bride, when four men from the bridal party (including fathers) rent their tuxes with us, the Groom's tux is offered at 1/2 price.

*Everyone has to pay the damage waiver, and this is only good on specific styles only, so please ask our expert consultants for all the details.
