❃ Pre-register before the show if possible. Registration only takes a few minutes and will save you from having to fill out a registration form at the show. ❃ Slow down and take it all in! Ask questions, get to know the experts and really do your research and feel out who is a good fit for your event by spending time with as many vendors as you can. ❃ Plan on attending the bridal show for several hours so you can visit all the vendors, see the fashion shows and find everything you need. ❃ Don’t come alone. Bringing your fiancé, mom and friends to the bridal show will help them feel involved and will also give you a chance to bounce ideas back and forth. ❃ Bring your date book so you can schedule appointments for follow up. Also bring a notebook and pen so you can take notes. When you find a vendor you would like to follow up with, note what struck you as appealing about them in your notebook or on their card or literature. Also, write down any good tips they may have given you on their literature to help you remember who was knowledgeable and helpful. ❃ Bring a digital camera or your smart phone. Taking pictures [include their business sign in the photo!] allows you to easily remember all the great things you saw at the show. ❃ Visit every vendor regardless of whether you need their services or not. Many vendors can tell you other people they work with and who they recommend. Take the literature or brochure they are handing out. Even if you think you have no use for their services, it’s better to have it in hand in the event you change your mind. ❃ Ask lots of questions. The show is filled with wedding professionals, so take advantage of the opportunity to learn as much as you can.
❃ Bring a great attitude and plan to have fun at the next Wedding Party Bridal Show! This stylish show is unlike any other in the country - beloved by national magazines, wedding experts and brides for more than a decade!
