Wedding Show- address labels?

Sarah, on October 24, 2015 at 9:28 AM Posted in Planning 0 11

I'm going to my first bridal fair tomorrow and I've heard that you should bring address labels so you don't have to write your information over and over.

But what should actually be on the label? Do they need my actual address or just email and phone? What about wedding date or location?

    Your name, date of wedding (if you don't have an exact date, at least the year and month), at least the city where wedding will be held, and whatever means you prefer to be contacted (special e-mail address or phone or mailing address).

    When I participate in a show, I need to know the city so I can determine if it is in my service area.

    I realize that venue may not yet be selected, so exact date is not known either. But, if I know you're getting married in 2017 and not 2016, I know you won't be making a decision on my service (civil wedding officiant) in the next couple of months. If you indicate you're getting married in a place of worship, I won't bother contacting you because, obviously, you don't need my services.

    Name, address, wedding email address and wedding date. I wouldn't put my phone number because vendors call constantly after the wedding shows.

    Thank you! I thought about just putting everything, but there isn't room for that!

    I would recommend creating a new email address to use. We created a gmail address and used it for all of our wedding stuff. It was nice to have it all in one place, where we both had access. Plus now we aren't still getting all the spam to our personal emails.

    Haha, that is one of the first things I did after getting engaged and I am so happy I did. I entered a David's bridal contest and now I get so many emails there.

    Don't put your phone number unless you want a ton of annoying calls. Make a wedding email address, put your name, city & approximately date. Having those labels made up was the best though, everything was so easy that way!

    Name, date of wedding, and an email you created just for your wedding - you will get emails for months!! I'm still getting them from a show in january I went to.

    I put our names, mailing address, wedding email address and my Google voice number. Once we select a vendor, I'll give them my real phone number.

    Yeah, 100% create a new email address. I get more emails each day at my wedding email address than I do at my main one. Plus vendors don't bother to pay attention to when your wedding is so they will continue to email you forever and you don't want to still be dealing with spam years from now. I know brides who have gotten married, literally 5 years later they still get crap from vendors and unsubscribing doesn't always do the trick.

    I would put my name, email, mailing address, place (city/state) and date (as close as you know) of your wedding, (I would NOT give a phone number, if there's anyone you actually want to give it to for some reason you could always write it in on that one).

    I wish I had made labels. I had heard that advice but thought it would be more trouble than it was worth. I ended up with a sore hand!

    I didn't do this. There wasn't that many people that I wanted to have my info. The ones that I did have interest in I took the 2 seconds to write my name and email.
