Wedding shows are a great way to kick off
your wedding planning. You will be able to meet with local vendors
and see samples of their work, attend a fashion show, sample
cakes, meet other brides and much more. Whether your are
recently engaged or searching for last minute ideas, a wedding
show can assist you. |

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 bridal show.

Do you remember when your mother told you "Don't talk
to strangers"? Now is the time to forget that rule. Take the time to talk
to vendors. 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 something you like.

|
Bring your fiance. Most grooms are responsible for their
formal wear, honeymoon arrangements, and selecting the transportation. This is a
great opportunity for your fiance to select a tux and accessories, see limos, and meet
knowledgeable travel agents.
|
|
|
|
Arrive at least one 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.
|
|
|
| Wedding shows are designed to make your wedding planning
easier and to save you time and money. Relax, take your time and have fun!
