Tips for the Twin Cities Bridal Show

Minnesota Bride, a prestigious publication in the wedding industry, has recently acquired the Twin Cities Bridal Show from The Wedding Guys. As part of this acquisition, The Wedding Guys will be retiring their beloved brand, marking the end of an era in local bridal events. It would not be right if we did not say thank you and pay a tribute to Matthew Trettel and Bruce Vassar for being a staple and inspiration to Brides, Grooms and wedding professionals. You can still explore some amazing wedding content and inspiration from The Wedding Guys by visiting their official website

Before purchasing tickets for the bridal show, here are a few tips to maximize your experience:

1. Create a Wedding-Specific Email Address: This helps you keep all vendor communications in one place, avoiding clutter in your personal inbox.
2. Set Up a Google Voice Number: Protect your privacy by using a Google Voice number for vendor sign-ups, allowing you to filter calls and messages.

Once you purchase your tickets, it’s time to do some research!

1. Check the Vendor List: Review the show’s website or materials for a list of vendors attending. Identify those you are most interested in, and do some background research on them ahead of time.
2. Plan Your Day: Map out which booths you want to visit first and which seminars or showcases are a must-see.
3. Prepare Questions: Think about what details you want to know from each vendor, such as availability, pricing, and service customization.
4. Follow on social media: Engage with vendors on social platforms before the show, so you can familiarize yourself with their style and offerings. SEE A FULL LIST OF VENDORS THAT WILL BE AT THE SHOW ON SUNDAY BELOW!

If you’re attending the bridal show for the deals, here’s what you need to know:

1. Same-Day Discounts: Many vendors offer exclusive discounts if you book with them on the spot, while others may extend the offer for a week.
2. Bring Decision Makers: Having your fiancé or key decision makers with you can make the process smoother, helping you feel confident about making choices at the show.
3. Circle Back: Don’t feel pressured to make immediate decisions. Take advantage of mimosa bars and food vendors throughout the show to step away, have conversations, and discuss options before committing!
