Wedding Shows

Wedding shows are a great opportunity to have various vendors all in one location. Here are some tips from an experienced bride attending numerous shows!

* The most important thing!!! Wear comfy shoes! Sometimes you have to wait around to talk with vendors that you are really interested in
* Bring a Maid of Honour or Bridesmaid along to help carry all of the fun stuff you will get!
* Take your time & arrive early. Most brides arrive around the fashion show times to make sure they get a good seat, and then browse after the show is finished
* Becareful of who you give information to! I received calls up to a year after my wedding saying that I had won things I had no interest in following up with (gym memberships, free mortgage quotes etc.) Some brides come prepared and have numerous peel and stick address labels to make sure they 'enter every draw' at the show. I don't think these labels are a necessity but are a good idea so you aren't stuck talking to someone as you write down your information for them.
* Take your time when you get home to go through what you received. The shows are overwhelming and tiring, so it is a good idea to take the time to sort everything into categories (photographer, venues etc)!
* Have fun!!! This is a wonderful experience to get some great ideas for your big day!!
