10 Ways To Make The Most Of The Austin Bridal Extravaganza

The Austin Bridal Extravaganza is right around the corner

, from January 5 to January 6, 2013. If youre a newly engaged bride-to-be, congratulations! The Bridal Extravaganza presents you with the opportunity to grab the bull by the horns and begin the wedding planning madness by consulting with hundreds of vendors in one convenient location.

Of course, attending an event like the Bridal Extravaganza for the first time can be overwhelming at best. Consider these 10 helpful tips to get the most out of your visit:

1. Preregister online. When you register online before the day of the event, you wont have to wait in long lines to fill out forms for entry. In some cases, you may even receive a discount for purchasing tickets online.

2. Get there early. The early bird gets the worm - or in this case, the early bride. At this type of event, you want to be one of the first brides to arrive to avoid crowds and spend more face time with vendors.

3. Wear flats. Even though you may want to dress to the nines to attend the Bridal Extravaganza, prepare for a long day of planning by wearing comfortable shoes and clothing. Save the heels for a more important event - like your wedding day.

4. Set aside an afternoon. So that you dont feel overwhelmed at the Bridal Extravaganza, youll want to take your time visiting each vendor. Most brides appreciate having an entire afternoon to devote to wedding planning to find out more information about services, prices, and specialty packages for their big day.

5. Use your cell phone camera. You can use your cell phone camera to take pictures of design ideas and inspiration right on the spot. Even better, you can immediately pin images and ideas to a Pinterest app on your iPhone to keep your wedding theme organized.

6. Book transportation early on. If youre getting married in the busy summer and fall season in Texas, Austin limousine rental will go fast. Make it a priority to visit wedding transportation vendors first to schedule necessary limo and town car hire before you move on to caterers, bakers, florists, and designers.

7. Sign up for giveaways. Who knows? You may be able to receive a discount on a vendors service if youre the lucky winner of a Bridal Extravaganza raffle.

8. Take notes. Whether you bring a pen and paper or use your iPad, make sure to take clear notes on the services and prices available from each vendor. You may be able to use competing vendor quotes as bargaining chips to get a better deal before booking.

9. Set up a backup email address. Make sure to register for a new Gmail address specifically for your wedding to organize all vendor emails, promotions, and spam email.

10. Print out address labels. Since most vendors will request your information for the purpose of discounts and drawings, take a moment to print out address labels on your computer to cut down on time spent registering at each booth.
