Save time and money by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectweddingguide.com\/events\/diamond-dash-wedding-show-16097\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">preregistering here!<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Arrive Early<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s been said, \u201cThe early bird gets the worm.\u201d The same is true of a wedding show. Not only will you avoid lines, but you will be first to get all the goods! For exclusive wedding show access, join us for the First Look Wedding Lounge one hour before the show!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dress for Success<\/strong> \u2013 Oftentimes, weddings shows have countless vendors and if you\u2019re not dressed accordingly, trekking through the many displays in heels can be tiresome, so be sure to wear tennies and comfy clothes! Besides, you might get a little messy if you get to dive into a wedding cake in search of FREE diamond jewelry!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Energize<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Although there will be lots of samples and goodies to go around, it\u2019s a good idea to eat a little something before you go to make sure you have enough energy to get all the show has to offer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bring Cash<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s always a good idea to bring cash just in case vendors don\u2019t accept credit cards at the show.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bag It!<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 There will be lots of freebies, so make sure to bring something like a tote bag or back pack to carry your stuff in.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pen and Page<\/strong> \u2013 A wedding show is a good place to network and get your plans off the ground. Bringing a notebook and pen will give you the tools to write down ideas and services from vendors and fellow brides.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Create Labels<\/strong> \u2013 If you really want to be on top of everything, you may want to create labels with your name and contact info to fill out vendor info cards. Not only will this give you more time for all the fun stuff, but it will show vendors that you\u2019re serious about your plans.<\/li>\n<li><b>Collaborate<\/b> \u2013 You may want to bring your fianc\u00e9, a friend, or, if your you\u2019re really brave, your soon-to-be mother-in-law! Sharing ideas with each other will help you stay on task and keep you from making decisions on impulse. If you choose to bring your mother-in-law, allowing her to be a part of the planning process will give you an opportunity to bond.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Have Fun<\/strong> \u2013 Most of all, enjoy yourself! The organizers and vendors work hard to bring the very best the city has to offer so take advantage of the offers they present to you and have fun meeting new people!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8902\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8902\" style=\"width: 656px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pwgnm.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/02\/couple.png\" data-lightbox=\"gal[8990]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8902\" src=\"https:\/\/pwgnm.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/02\/couple.png\" alt=\"Diamond Dash Wedding Show, Photo and Gown Via: Maggie Sottero\" width=\"656\" height=\"895\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8902\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Diamond Dash Wedding Show, Gown &amp; Photo Via: Maggie Sottero<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And after you get your ideas flowing at the Diamond Dash Wedding Show, get organized with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectweddingguide.com\/bride-login\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">online planning tools<\/a>.
