For this episode, we thought it would be fun to talk about wedding shows and how they work and how you can get through them without coming out more confused than when you went in. Tips and tricks for a great wedding show experience. Address labels Bring your maid of honor if available Name tag with wedding date Be prepared for samples, cake, and foods Wear good shoes Don't drag your fiance along unless he's a big part of the planning process Go early, door prizes. Take notes either on the biz or other about the vendors you are really interested in Stop by the vendors only what you need, don't waste your and the vendors time. If you haven't purchased your gown yet, go to the fashion show Enjoy a fun time Don't bring a bag, you'll get a few Do take pictures for inspiration Be prepared for lots of questions Walk the show before you talk to anyone, make note of who you want to go back to Ask vendors for special offers for show attendees Thing we discuss: Boutique shows Established shows Differences in boutiques and large trade shows Most likely not going to book anyone at the show and that's ok.
