Tips for attending a bridal show:

• Be prepared to wait in line to register. Be patient! This is well worth it.
• Bring preprinted self-adhesive address labels if you have them. This will save you much time and allow you to sign up for anything you want very quickly.
• Bring a pen and print very clearly when registering for anything.
• 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.
• If you are out of town, send your mother or friend to register you for prizes and collect information on services you need.
• Be prepared to wear a "Bride-to-be" sticker to receive special attention from the vendors.
• The later fashion show time are generally less crowded.
• It is nice if your fiancé attends with you IF he is interested. About 30% do attend, so he won't be the only one there!
• Arrive at least one hour prior to the fashion show time that you want to see. Seating is usually first come-first serve.
