Vacation Designer's Top 6
Ways to keep your sanity at a bridal show
1. Dress for a marathon: wear your sneakers or other comfortable shoes. This is not the place to break in the new Manolos.
 2. Plan your route: What do you need to get accomplished at this show? Make a list, bring it with you.
4. Dont' follow the crowd: You have some serious work to do. The 40 person pile-up in front of you is going nowhere fast. Break away from the crowd and start at the opposite end of the show, where the booths aren't as crowded... yet. If you don't need to watch the fashion show, use this time to talk with the vendors you are most interested in
5. Make labels: Other than comfy shoes this is the single most sanity saving tip there is. Unless you enjoy writing your name, adress, phone, email, and wedding date 87 times in one day, you should print up labels ahead of time. You don't want to miss registering for any prizes!
3. Find your Ohm: Focus. Walking in the door can be overwhelming. It's easy to trudge through a show with your jaw unhinged, staring at all the gorgeous cakes and dresses. Do your sightseeing AFTER you finish your to-do list.
6. Bring the other decision maker: Is that your fiance? Your mother? If there is an individual who needs to be in on decisions, bring them. Whoever this person is, they should start training those biceps, they also get to carry your bag-o-brochures.

Look for NAWP Members!
As you visit the Madison bridal show, look for vendors who display a membership certificate for the NAWP (National Association of Wedding Professionals.)  When you choose wedding professionals from our Madison Chapter of NAWP you can be confident that you are hiring the best! When you choose vendors from the NAWP, you are choosing experts with a track record for producing the extraordinary in wedding planning and services. Another advantage to using NAWP professionals is that we work together and support each other. How great would it be if your DJ knew your caterer? Or your florist just got back from a beautiful cruise planned by your travel agent? We can suggest professionals whom we trust, admire, and know personally! |
