Bridal Spectacular’s Las Vegas bridal show, with hundreds of vendors in one location for your convenience, is only four days away. Are you ready? Take a look at this list “What to Bring to Bridal Spectacular” to be among the most prepared brides this weekend.
1. Bring mailing labels with your name and contact information.
Before the show, print two to five sheets of mailing labels with the following information: bride’s name, groom’s name, mailing address, e-mail address (see tip #2 below), and phone number. With mailing labels, you’ll spare yourself hand cramps from filling out hundreds of interest cards and grand-prize entry cards at vendors’ bridal show booths.

Remember to check this account frequently for special offers from vendors you liked and/or reminder deadlines from companies you contracted with at the show.
3. Bring your debit or credit card.
At Bridal Spectacular, you may find a vendor you definitely want to hire. If you’ve brought a way to pay, you can discuss details of a vendor’s contract and pay the deposit to immediately reserve a vendor for your wedding date.
4. Bring a method to take notes of what you liked, loved, and want to revisit.

Decide what’s best for you, but come prepared for the influx of information.
