Heidi,

I hope the show went well for you. Every show is a learning experience!

Some lessons learned over the years:

Don't be nervous. Remember, you are the professional, the one with all the tips and information. The brides will be looking to you for wonderful ideas and information.

Remember to smile and be yourself. Most people can spot someone who is insincere. If you don't know the answer to the question asked, tell the bride you would like to discuss the idea in detail and suggest a follow up contact time. Let the bride know you want to get her up to the minute information.

Of course have plenty of cards on your table. Do not over stuff the table making it look like a big jumble of information. Make it easy to look at and inviting. If you want to put candy in a bowl, make sure the candy is wrapped and not loose. And not anything messy...something bit size like mints, or other hard candy.

Be sure you have a registration sheet, even if the venue will have one they are distributing to all the vendors. This way you can make notes next to the bride's name if needed for your follow up.

Have samples of your work. In my case, I try to have pictures of great honeymoon locations and destination weddings. If you have something in the way of a sample, have some on your table. Invite the brides to take one.

It can be a long day, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes, have a bottle of water and maybe even a protein bar. Please, don't chew gum, use a breathe mint if you think you need one.

Good luck on all of your shows.

If anyone is in the Philadelphia area, please check out the information for the Main Line Bridal Show on March 14th.

Heidi, I'm also doing my first show next weekend. It's small and local so I don't have to go WAY out, but I've been told that brides like to see ideas for centerpieces and favors...unique and showing them what you can do to make their wedding different than everyone else's. Let us know how it went for you...Good luck!

Fellow planners,

Tomorrow is my very first wedding show and I'm a bit nervous! Does anyone have any tips or suggestions about exhibiting at shows?

With all due respect it seems that everyone is posting and no one is actually exchanging links or facebook pages. I'm also a member of wedding wire and we successfully exchange links and facebook pages so I'm going to try to post here the way we post there. It's a shame not to actually support each other with free advertising and promoting each other's services
