    Wedding Expo Survival 101

    Researching about a wedding expo is a start, but once you’re in the middle of the wedding expo, you’ll need the right stuff to keep the inconvenience away. You’ll need to dress appropriately, have some storage, bring extra cash and be ready to entertain so many exhibitors. Don’t leave home without taking the following tips to heart. These will make things so much easier for your first time.

    •Wear your most comfy pair of shoes. Walking around the wedding expo halls just to visit vendors will be your activity for most of the day. Ditch the heels.

    •Bring a large shoulder strap bag. It’s where the flyers, brochures, extra heels, freebies, and the essentials go.

    •Bring a powerbank. It’s 2019 and we have smartphones that can only last for an average of 9 hours and 48 minutes in a single charge. You gotta take lots of pictures at the wedding expo and you might need to use your data too. Your phone’s battery is gonna drain fast.

    •Don’t forget to bring cash. Just in case they don’t accept credit cards, you can pay straight up with cash.

    •Take a friend with you. They’ll save you from impulsive decisions and might give you better ideas as you go.

    •Bring a list of exhibitors you’re interested in. This will save you time and energy, so do your research about the exhibitors you see on the wedding expo’s website or social media account if they have one.

    •Keep an organizer on your person. It’s handy for holding business cards and if an exhibitor can’t give you a consultation right away, you can ask for a schedule and write it down in there so you don’t forget.

    Prepare Early

    Perhaps the best secret to surviving a wedding expo and getting the most out of it is getting your ticket in advance online. You wouldn’t have to wait in line for a ticket and it’s a straight shot inside the expo halls for you.

    Just remember to pack all the things you need as mentioned above a night before the event and double check your stuff. This way you don’t need to cram and panic in the morning and you’ll be off to a great start.

    Follow these tips and have a pleasant time attending a wedding expo this 2019.
