Heading out to a bridal show.
Be sure you are comfortable from your shoes to your hair! (Especially your shoes – you’re going to be on your feet for quite a while).  You don’t need to look like a beauty queen today: That comes later.

Label it.
You'll find that you will be filling out SO many things that even your hands will become achy. To avoid this come prepared with labels that include your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, and wedding date printed on them. This way you can easily enter the various giveaways and promotions and save a whole lot of time.

Just for now.
Temporarily rent a PO Box for all of the wedding related material, including free drawings and giveaway information, to come to. After the wedding you simply cancel the PO Box. (GREAT idea to do with e-mail as well!)

Share the experience.
Don't go to a bridal show alone! Although your fiancé is probably the best one to bring along, a couple of friends or family will suffice. You need others’ objective opinions and perhaps some physical help carrying around the many things you will inevitably pick up.

Fashion isn't everything.
If you already have all of the attire for the wedding picked out, you might want to skip the bridal show fashion presentation and visit vendor's booths at that time. You’ll battle fewer crowds and you won’t start re-thinking anything.

Fill your bag.
fTake all the brochures you can from the bridal show. You might not think you need information about bridesmaid and groomsmen gifts now but who knows, things have a way of creeping up on you.

A picture says a thousand words.
Bring your digital camera to bridal shows. There might not be too many things you can snap up, but you may be able to snap a photo!  Ask first.   

I'm the bride!
Wear a cute bride-to-be T-Shirt, hat, or sticker to the bridal shows. You will look cute and you WILL receive special attention from the vendors. Seriously, it works.

Relax and take your time.
There will be a lot for you to see at bridal shows.  Don’t let yourself become overwhelmed or discouraged. These events tend to bring out more emotion than you may anticipate. Just take it all in and enjoy yourself.
