Last year, at the Bellevue Wedding Expo in Bellevue, Washington, one lucky bride (and her groom-to-be) won our Bridal Survivor contest and received at wedding valued at over $16,500.

Every year the contest changes and each show presents its own unique prizes and give-aways so keep listening, reading and watching for your chance to win.

Attending a bridal show is one the best ways to jumpstart your wedding planning because you can see so many vendors in one location and gather names, phone numbers, ideas, and even purchase your wedding dress at a huge discount.

In Seattle, we produce three (3) fall wedding expos every year in Seattle at the Qwest Events Center, in Tacoma at the Tacoma Dome Exhibition Hall, and in Lynnwood at the new Lynnwood Convention Center.

As a registered bride of BridesClub.com, you will receive coupons to these and other shows as well as a reminder of the date of each wedding show. So sign up today if you have not already and include your email address so you can be notified.

A few more things to consider about a bridal show:

- Wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes.
- Be prepared to register at the door. Be patient!
- Bring preprinted self-adhesive address labels if you have them. Remember your name, address, phone, email, and wedding date. This will save you time and allow you to sign up for anything you want very quickly.
- Bring a pen and print very clearly when registering for anything.
- Bring your checkbook in case you decide to book services or hold dates with a deposit. Be sure to check on refund policies before giving any money, and read the contract carefully before signing.
- Collect any information you are interested in - take it home to look over again when you have some quiet time.
- If you cannot attend, send someone in your place to register you for prizes and collect information on services you need.
It is nice if your fianc￩ attends with you IF he is interested.
- Many guys attend, so he won't be the only one there!
- Arrive at least one hour prior to the fashion show. Seating is usually first-come first-served and you can use this time to rest your feet.
- Relax and have fun -- this is your wedding.
