So have you been visiting vendors by yourself or do you bring your mom/ fh/ someone else with you? I'm only asking because my FH is out of the country for the next couple of months and my parents were just on vacation for the past week leaving me to myself and I didn't accomplish ANYTHING!!! I didn't set up any appointments or go visit any vendors to get prices. I just feel like I need someone else there with me to bounce off any questions I may have or to relieve the stress of the salesperson. Is that crazy?

Not crazy... I usually do the research to start off then my FH (or ex-BM when she was around) would join me....

I always visit vendors with FH. His entirely involved in every detail. At the end of the day is us two paying for everything.

Re: Visiting Vendors -alone or with someone
I usually bring a crowd with me (everyone seems to want to be a part of it) It's usually me, my FH, my mother and father (They're paying) I'm very indecisive, so it really helps having people there to help

FH came with me to everything, except florist which he doesn't care about. For that my mom came with me.

Re: Visiting Vendors -alone or with someone
def bring someone with you. its much less nerve wracking and stressful. you can discuss any questions with them rather than rushing to make a decision on your own.
hell, if you have no one to go w you, one of us will come w ya.

Re: Visiting Vendors -alone or with someone
I either brought FH, my MOH's, or my mom...FH is in sales so he's a MUCH better negotiator

Fh has been with me for most of the appointments. If he couldn't make it my moh came with me! I like having another person with me to help ask questions and make me feel comfortable!

Re: Visiting Vendors -alone or with someone
i do basic legwork on my own as far as research and calling but when ifinally decide to make a visit I usually bring FH. I went to BYC w my bm because he said he doesnt want to look t a million halls, just let him know what the top 3 are and we will go together

Re: Visiting Vendors -alone or with someone
I went alone and then picked the top three that I liked from each vendor category. FH made the final decision. I really didn't want to drag him to a bunch of meetings because 'what guy wants to visit 20 or so vendors?' Mine didn't but I'm sure everyone's case is different.
I have to be honest, that some of my vendors looked at me a little odd since I was alone and everyone was with their significant other. I didn't really care though.
Also, I thought it made it easier having just myself to decide what I truly liked.

Re: Visiting Vendors -alone or with someone
I do most of the preliminary appts on my own!! Then once I narrow it down, I bring FH to make final decisions on everything!!
