This month's featured tip:
More Bridal Show Tips!

There's still plenty of time to attend a local wedding show -- a great way to learn more about different wedding services and jump start your planning.

So ... we continue with the third of our favorite tips for enhancing your bridal show experience. (For our first and second tips, visit last month's column here and December's here.)

Our third wedding show tip: Bring reinforcements!

Key things to bring to a show:

Your fiancé, mom, bridesmaids ... and any other key decision-makers or advisors. Bottled water and a healthy snack (e.g., granola bar). Your credit card and/or checkbook. Your calendar or Palm device. Pre-printed labels with your address, phone, wedding date (or planned date), and email address (so you won't have to fill out form after form). Comfortable shoes.

Key things NOT to bring to a show:

Children (or others) who will become tired, bored or cranky.

This tip comes to us from The Wedding & Special Event Yellow Pages. For more of their tips for maximizing your attendance at bridal shows, visit their site here.
