Bring a pen and notebook. There will be
many opportunities to register for prizes and you
will want to take notes. You may want to invest in a
self-inking stamp or self adhesive labels that have
your name, address, phone number, email address and
wedding date on it. This will save you a lot of time
if you want to leave your personal information with
vendors.
|
|
|
 |
Bring your calendar, datebook and checkbook.
Book appointments and make deposits while you
are there. This saves you time later. In addition,
some exhibitors feature "show specials" which are
savings you can only take advantage of if you attend
that wedding show.

|
 |
Take the time to talk to vendors. Do you
remember when your mother told you "Don't talk to
strangers"? Now is the time to forget that rule.
It's the only way to learn more about their product
or service. Exhibitors are there to answer your
questions and concerns.

Bring your mother and/or bridal attendants.
The fashion shows feature something for everyone -
bridal gowns, bridesmaid dresses,
mother-of-the-bride gowns, and tuxedos. It's also
great to have another opinion when you find a
professional or something you like.

Bring your fiancé. Most grooms are
responsible for their formal wear, honeymoon
arrangements, and selecting the transportation. This
is a great opportunity for your fiancé to select a
tux and accessories, see limos, and meet
knowledgeable travel agents
|
|
|
 |
Arrive at least 1/2 hour prior to each
fashion show. Seating is on a first come, first
serve basis. Try to leave your coat in the car
because some facilities do not have coat checks. If
you are unable to attend a show of your choice, send
your mother or a friend to pick up information for
you.
|
| | | If you are unable to attend a
wedding show of your choice, send your mother or a friend to pick up information for you. | | | Wedding shows are designed to make your wedding planning easier and to save you time and money. Relax, take your time and have fun! | |
 Tip: If a bridal show allows on-line
registration, take advantage! It will save you time
at the door. Many shows will also offer an incentive
to pre-registering, such as discount tickets.
