Benefits of attending a bridal show
Bridal shows are very helpful if you are planning a
wedding. You will meet and speak with local wedding
professionals, see fashion shows, sample gourmet delights,
register to win prizes, and probably have an enjoyable day.
Top ten tips for attending a bridal show
- BRING YOUR FIANCE, PARENTS, AND/OR BRIDESMAIDS.
They can help you cover twice the ground and
offer opinions about the choices of wedding
merchants. (Note: About 30% of fiancés attend,
in spite of what yours may assume!)
- PLAN TO SPEND AT LEAST TWO HOURS so you can
visit all the wedding merchants
and see at least one fashion preview. You will kick
yourself if you don't: nowhere
else can you get as much done in as short of
period of time.
- BRING PRE-PRINTED ADDRESS LABELS. Many vendors
hold drawings for trips, prizes,
and discounts: your labels save you from repeatedly
writing your name and address.
- BRING YOUR CHECKBOOK if you might want to book
services or hold dates with a deposit. The top
photographers, caterers, florists, and DJs book up quickly.
(Note: Check refund policies and read contracts
carefully before giving any money.)
- BRING YOUR CALENDAR. You will probably find
vendors with whom you would like to schedule a
one-on-one consultation.
- ARRIVE WITH A PLAN. Know what you are looking
for and have questions in mind. You will save time
and you will see everything that's important to you.
- WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES. You will stroll many
aisles as you seek out the ideas, people, products
and services you'll soon need.
- WHEN YOU REGISTER AT THE DOOR PRINT NEATLY.
Prize winners are often chosen at random from the
registration form: make sure your vital information is legible.
- IF YOU ARE OUT OF TOWN... send mom or a trusted
friend to collect information on services you need and
register you for prizes.
- ASK QUESTIONS! The vendors are there to help you.
You are under no pressure to buy from them, so find
out everything you need to know.
