Is there any point of going after you've booked all your major vendors?

What do you girls think?

I plan on going to that big one in April to get some info on limos, hotels ad tuxes... But other than that the only ones I plan on going to is ones at my venue so I can show my bridal party :)

I think they're fun, but I guess if you've booked everything then maybe just going to ones at your RH would be helpful :)

I stopped going once I booked my major vendors to random bridal expo's. I just went to one last week at my venue that was great, but I hate being put on all those e-mail & call lists!

I just missed the one at my venue!!! But I thought the same thing - it's a waste if you have the major vendors booked

This! FH and I go to the ones at the watermill because they're free and the food is delish. I can't decide if that makes us smart or really really sad

Only if there is free food!! All of my major vendors are booked so now there is no point in going unless FH and I can get some free food.

Lol I go for the food too. Went to one at chateau Briand and didn't even check out the vendors. Just ate, drank lots of sangria and watched the band. I feel very uncomfortable talking to vendors anyway, I feel like it's an insurance convention. Lol. I plan to go to the big one in April too, katielynn!!! We'll have to meet up!

I don't really like them, they make me feel pressured and like I have to make eye contact with people haha.

Like katielynn I'll be going to the big one in April but only because I will be looking to do limos, hair, makeup and flowers and have no where to start.

Hahaha Lori, I love that answer.

Ladyreeree, FH and I were wondering the same thing. The only thing we're missing is a photo booth, which March Bauman is helping us out with. We also need invites, but already know who we want to go with. Lastly, my dress and GM and FH clothes...but I don't know if a bridal expo will help too much in that area.
I never went to one so I'll probably wind up checking one out with FMIL and my mom.

I can't!

ETA this reminds me of why FH and I go food shopping at Costco. We say we're going 'to lunch' and eat all the samples while we shop. Hey, we're saving for a wedding! A girls gotta eat!!
