Your Attendance at a Wedding Show is Requested Before You Are Wed!!
Tweet
Attending a wedding show before your Big Day can simplify the process of getting thru the months leading up to your wedding. The Fall Wedding Event held annually in September in Windsor is timed perfectly for couples getting married in the upcoming year. Many couples prefer to get the majority of their wedding planning done before Christmas, the two evening Fall Wedding Event is the perfect opportunity to visit over 100 businesses to finish up the coordination of you wedding before the busy Christmas season begins.
Many couples walk into a wedding show and may feel overwhelmed at first. Every element that must be planned and organized before your wedding day is right there in front of you. As a planner of these shows for over 25 years, I would like to make a few simple suggestions.
1. Prepare a short "to do" list of items you want to target at the show...for example, go to the show with a list of 3-5 things that still need to be organized-ie a DJ, a florist, a wedding cake, a musician for your ceremony and a photographer. As you walk thru the show make sure to pick up brochures from every booth space to review when you get home. While at the show stop and talk to every business category on your targeted "to do"list. Try to make an appointment with one or two of the businesses that you connect with at the show on your "to do" list.
2. Once you are in the relaxed surroundings of your home go thru the bag of materials you have collected. At this time you can go to the show website where many businesses may have their own website linked or you can go to each businesses websites that you may be interested in individually. This will give you a chance to do your own research in a relaxed setting and research other catogories of business that you did not target at the show but might have to be booked as your wedding approaches.
3. Wedding shows give you the opportunity to connect with business owners. Remember that during the months &weeks before your wedding day and on your wedding day, you will be working with these business people closely. The suppliers you ultimately choose should have your trust and should be easy for you to get along and work with. A wedding show gives you the opportunity to seek out the personalities behind a business that best suit your personal sense of style. Talk to and meet these business people at the show. I promise you, your wedding day will less stressful if you are working with people you connect with.
4. Make sure to fill out ballots for all the prizes offered at a wedding show...these are no strings attached giveaways and there are always a lot of prizes to be won. You cannot win if you don't take the time to fill the prize ballots out. To make this process easier bring sticky mailing labels to the show that include your name, phone number, address, email address and the date you are getting married.
5. Bring along other decision makers that are helping you plan and paying for your wedding. Parents appreciate seeing what you are spending their money on and a visual is much easier for them to appreciate than an abstract description of something.
6. Brides there is no easier method than a wedding show to help your groom get things done in a painless and quick fashion. Grooms often like to be part of making the decisions of particular components of the wedding including music, food service, formal wear, insurance & future home plans and the wedding location. By having your mate attend a wedding show the exercise of running him all over town will be eliminated. Once you have targeted the elements he wants to be part of send him down to the Members Bar at the Caboto Club to play pool or watch some sports on TV while you take your time going thru the reminder of your "to do" list.
7. Make sure to visit each Theme Room at The Fall Wedding Show. The themed rooms are an exclusive customized feature of The Fall Wedding Event and these fully decorated mini reception rooms will offer you loads of special and unique ideas for your wedding.
