The National Bridal Show wasn’t too bad. Here are some notes:
- Lots of draws and places you have to fill in your information, good bet to invest in stickers or something
- Lots of those thick wedding magazines and planners for free, but you have to fill in stuff (see above point) to get one
- Also a lot of volumous bags, many of them shoulder-able, which is great when you’re carrying around a couple of textbooks worth of magazines. Ashley also had a neat Warhol-esque bag which is fashionable
- Free cake was the best freebie, but aside from bags and magazines, there wasn’t much else
- The vendors basically have no good icebreakers, so they just ask you when’s your wedding over and over again
- 400 exhibitors isn’t a lot, and it only takes 2 or 3 hours to go through
- Brides-to-bes can get in free with an email printout, and I got a $5-off coupon, so $10 for us both — pretty affordable
- There was a greeter dressed up in a bridal dress decorated in the style of the Yellow Pages website
- These shows are horrible for the environment, I threw out so much paper
