So, you just got engaged, now what? Need a great event space, stunning flowers? We've got you covered. But you're not done yet... oh no. You're only just beginning... caterer, dress, cake, tux, photographer, invitations, honeymoon ... your head is spinning, we know. Take a deep breath, here's a start.
1. Take a camera and a notepad
Describing the dream gown you saw at the bridal show as "the fluffy one, with the stuff on it" is not going to cut it. Whip out your iPhone with a pic or a note with the name of the designer so the sales girl will know just the one you're talking about.
2. Don't travel with an entourage
We know you want to hang with every single bridesmaid, but a pack is easily distracted and separated. Also, you might run into a few unwanted opinions. A mother or a maid of honor will do just fine.
3. Make address labels ahead of time with the date of your wedding
You are probably going to sign up for a ton of drawings and freebies. Spending five minutes at each booth filling out a form is going to seriously cut into your cake tasting time.
4. Know your budget
Having a rough idea of what your budget is can really help narrow down your selections. You might not be able to afford six hummer limmos for your bridal party, but your wedding can still be fantastic.
5. Do not drag you fiancé along
If he wants to go, fine. But, if you're trying to convince him that he'll like it, do yourself a favor, don't. He will probably just slow you down and he will definitely whine. Plus, there are things there that you might not want him to see, i.e. pictures from a nintendo themed wedding, or a tux with racing stripes. He does not need to know these things exist.
