Today, my brides maid, Alyssa Slaughter, Will and I went to the San Antonio Wedding fair. I went last year with Lyssa so I had an idea of what to expect. Vendors vying for attention, thousands of brides running around like chickens with their heads cut off, mothers of the brides trying to get in on what they want at the wedding. girls who aren't engaged just wanting to scope out the scene early.
I was prepared. We got their right at opening, stayed to the back, looking and snagging the cards that we liked and moving fast.
The thing about wedding fairs that is good is that you can scope out local vendors and pick up the cards that you like in one centralized location (Not to mention the cute door prizes and free goodies; we got a coupon for a free wine tasting!). Thats what we did. Still there is a great deal of work that has to go into your research after. Pick up the cards that you like but check the websites and reviews on them too.
I do have to say that one of the weird things that keeps popping up is timing. Everyone seems to think it is odd that I am planning a year in advance. Is that so weird? Everyone that I have talked to individually is fine with it and thinks it is perfectly normal.
All and all they are a lot of fun! Much thanks to Alyssa for coming with us and my darling Will for actually wanting to come. Tim Lai: You looked awesome in the fashion show!
