So just like the title said today I am talking about BRIDAL SHOWS!! I say it like that because well this is one of my favorite things so far.

If you don’t believe me and need more evidence ill put it this way, I have already been to 4 bridal shows and my wedding isn’t until 9/5/2020. So I am excited about this topic.

So let’s jump in!

To start out some people are probably thinking “why are you so excited about this topic”, well here we go.

If you don’t know what a bridal show or wedding show is, it is a giant (I’m talking giant) show where different vendors will come and showcase. They will all have booths set up with flyers and testers to help sell themselves for your wedding. You can find things such as venues, caterers, photographers, tux rentals and the list goes on. At these booths, the vendors will tell you about themselves, give you pricing (most of the time), sometimes give you a discount, and also will sometimes do giveaways. Who doesn’t love free things?

When it does come to bridal shows they can be a little overwhelming if you are not prepared. Here are my best tips to get through in one piece and feeling accomplished.

1. Know what you want

Make sure you are going with knowledge of what you are looking for. You usually can look through the vendors beforehand which will help. If you do not need a caterer than why go to all of the caterers? You don’t want to spend time places you have no need for.

2. Be early

Not only do some places give out things to the first brides, but also it will give you more time without tons of people. You want as much time with the vendors as you can because it will get busy and crowded fast.

3. Bring a friend

You should definitely bring someone with you. This could be a friend, a bridesmaid, a parent or your fiance. You will be making so many decisions or getting ideas while here so why not have someone to talk them over with.

4. Sign up for all the giveaways

I said this before, but want to stress it again, SIGN UP FOR ALL GIVEAWAYS! You are hopefully putting your wedding email address so if you get spam mail it won’t be too hard to spot and delete. Why not try and win as much as you can and save some money?

5. Talk to any vendor your interested in

I believe this is important because you want to make sure you feel comfortable with your vendors. This is the perfect place to find out if they will fit well with what you are looking for. You also have the chance to ask any questions you may have for them. Another thing when talking to them is they may give you special discounts for coming to the show.

Obviously, there are many other things to help you through a bridal show, but these are definitely great tips!

Hopefully, this will help you have a fun and stress-free time at your bridal shows! Like always if you have any questions or tips don’t forget to leave them below!

Thanks all!
