Most local bridal magazines like (201) Bride or NJ Wedding advertise a list of upcoming Expos and bridal showcases. A majority of these Expos are FREE for brides. If you are in the North Jersey area check out these magazines or their websites and make a day of it.
Drag your best friend, your mother, or *gulp* your fiance (the poor guy) and have some fun. You'll walk out of the Expo with free gifts, a chance to win large prizes, and you get to interview some local vendors all under one roof.
The best part is you can sign up to receive an email from the vendors you like. When you receive the follow up email or phone call from the vendor, you can take some time to check out the vendor's services. However, the follow-up email usually contains a discount on a service or product. Therefore, you are getting something extra for less from the vendor you want to use.
For the few hours you spent one night at a bridal expo you may receive a percentage off of catering services or an upgrade and free leather bound photo album from a photographer--all things that you may not have purchased before because they were outside of your budget.
Definitely take advantage of these FREE bridal expos because a few minutes of your time can save you some money or earn you a free gift...and you just may have some fun there too!
