While there are many blog posts about making the most out of wedding shows, also referred to as bridal fairs and bridal shows, I'm going to give a few tips and tricks to make the most of THIS show. Doing a variety of shows across the mid-west, I've narrowed down my attendance to this show in particular. Exceptionally well-produced, the Elegant Bridal Expo has all the perks of the traditionally-produced shows ... plus a few more!
Here are my personal suggestions for getting the most of this upcoming show on Sunday:
I've seen it all when it comes to wedding show swag bags etc. Usually they are a grocery tote bag full of business cards and flyers. Ya ... pass. Not here. Doing wedding shows for over 10 years, these are by far the best swag bags I've ever seen! Get there early and be one of the first 200! You'll suffer mad FOMO if you don't.
Each attending bride receives $500 in Bridal Bucks to spend with vendors. Doing research beforehand and knowing the vendors can cash in on some awesome show specials.
Upon arrival, each bride will be give a bingo card to have vendors stamp as they go around. In the past I've had client's win mad prizes from doing this.
