In Utah we have MANY MANY Bridal shows, especially this time of year.\u00a0 So what can you as a bride do to not only enjoy them, but get the most out of them?<\/p>\n
1. GIVEAWAYS!\u00a0 DISCOUNTS!\u00a0 CONTESTS!!<\/p>\n
There are many giveaways at bridal shows, so make sure to enter them all.\u00a0 You never know when you might win!\u00a0 Go to the bridal show websites for details on the giveaways as well as go to the shows and ask vendors that you are interested in what kind of giveaways\/discounts they may be offering at the show!<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0 MAKE A LIST<\/p>\n
Make a list before you go of things you still need for your wedding\/vendors you may be interested in.\u00a0 There are many vendors at each show, so it may get overwhelming, so by sticking to your list of the things most important for you to see, you’ll save yourself time and stress<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0 CREATE A WEDDING EMAIL<\/p>\n
Vendors pay a lot of money to get email lists from this show.\u00a0 By creating a specific email JUST for your wedding will make it so you don’t get a lot of unwanted emails in your primary email.\u00a0\u00a0 Most vendors don’t like to spam brides and send out too many emails, but if every vendor at a show emails you just one time, you may get 100 emails in your inbox!!<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0 PRINT OUT LABELS<\/p>\n
Many vendors ask for your email, wedding date, location, etc.\u00a0 By making labels beforehand you don’t have to rewrite your information on their lists, just peel and stick!<\/p>\n
5.\u00a0 ASK QUESTIONS!<\/p>\n
Do your research.\u00a0 Ask lots of questions about what is EXACTLY included in the service they are offering.\u00a0 If you end up booking a vendor at the show, many of them give big discounts, so you may want to also bring your checkbook.\u00a0 Many of these things are big purchases though, so make sure you really want to spend a lot of time with this person on one of the most important days of your life!<\/p>\n
6.\u00a0 ONLY TAKE WHAT YOU REALLY WANT<\/p>\n
Try to only stop at booths that you are interested in-most vendors give out paper products (fliers, brochures, etc) and your bags can get really heavy really fast.\u00a0 ie. So if you already have a photographer for your wedding, just tell the photographers at their booths.\u00a0 You will save your time and theirs and they won’t mind at all!<\/p>\n
7.\u00a0 EAT, DRINK & BE MERRY<\/p>\n
There usually are great food and drink samples at bridal shows, so don’t eat a ton before you go!\u00a0 Also just HAVE FUN, bring friends\/family\/your groom and have a great time!\u00a0 Also wear flats-your feet will thank you later!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
