Tips For Bridal Show Attendees
Bring pre-printed, self
addressed labels. These will save you time when registering for prizes or
information. Be prepared to wait in line to register. Be patient! This is well
worth it.
Bring
a pen for taking notes and filling out prize registration forms. (Please Print
Neatly!)
Bring your checkbook if you want to actually book
any services, or hold dates with a deposit. Be sure to check on refund policies
before giving any money, and read the contract carefully before signing.
Collect any information you are interested in -
take it home to look over again when you have some quiet time.
Send your mother, relative or a friend to pick up
information for you if you are unable to attend.
Bring as many people with you as you want, they
can help you in many ways. Many brides bring their attendants, mothers and
fiancés. In fact, between 25-30% of all engaged men attend with their
brides-to-be. However, anyone you bring should be prepared to pay an admission
charge, usually between $5 and $10.
