1. RSVP or Register to Attend


First, on our list of 6 Tips for Attending Bridal Shows is to RSVP or register. Most bridal shows require that you RSVP or register to attend. We recommend purchasing tickets online to save yourself time for getting admitted to the show. There will be many eager brides there also so you want to be well prepared.



2. Create a Wedding Email Address


With all the emails that you receive on a daily basis, you would want to separate your wedding emails from your personal emails. You can do this by creating a wedding email address so that all of your wedding information emails are in one place and don't get lost in your spam folder.



3. Take Pictures and Notes


Also, on our list of 6 Tips for Attending Bridal Shows is taking pictures and notes. There will be plenty of vendors at the bridal show and you will be receiving a lot of information. You don't want to get overwhelmed. We encourage you to take pictures of everything from displays, signs, business cards, and so on. In addition, you should talk to the vendors that you favor and make a note of the company and person that you spoke with at the bridal show.



4. Eat Breakfast and Wear Comfortable Shoes


On the day of the bridal show, get up early and eat breakfast so that you don't get too hungry throughout the day because it will be a long day. Also, you will be doing a lot of walking and standing. Wear comfortable shoes so that you are prepared to navigate throughout the day.



5. Follow Up


The companies that left a great impression on you, you will definitely remember. Be sure to follow up with them soon because they are booking up even more quickly due to the pandemic. Schedule an appointment with them to get more information about them and book your date especially the venues.



6. Bring Labels


When you attend a bridal show, you will notice there will be plenty of contests and giveaways. You will be filling out lots of entry forms for your chance to win some great prizes for your wedding. To be more efficient, we recommend bringing pre-printed labels with your name, phone number, and wedding date so that you can easily just put a label on the entry forms without having to write everything down over and over again.
