Just wanted share about a bridal show I did yesterday. I had 18 sign up to do a registry, 5 signed up for a bridal shower, 1 regular booking, and 1 possible recruit. I am excited about doing my follow-up.

My display was simple. I displayed the three tier stand with the large white squares on the top and bottom with the SA heart bowl in the middle with conversations hearts in them and rose petals sprinkled around. The middle held the small white with crandberry square filled with hershey kisses. I also had the small and caddy filled with kisses. I did a centerpiece with the trifle bowl that had sheer white wide ribbon, pink roses and cute light up pink hearts. I used my other trifle bowl for my door prize bowl . I gave away a $25 gift certificate/heart bowl/ and free cooking show. Everyone won a cooking show so I'll be doing some major follow up. I used a red table skirting and took white with a little glimmer of pink toulle and weaved a heart garland through it to use as a swag on the front of the table. I took my camera but forgot to take a picture.

It was so much fun and I am excited about the success I hope to have with my follow ups.
 
Congrats! I am doing a wedding show on the 27th with a clustermate. We are very excited. Last year there was over 500 in attendance.
 
Im doing one on the 26th - we too are going to keep the display simple. We had to donate a prize for the main raffle and that is going to be a Trifle Bowl. Can you share anything else you did as far as things you said, how you approached the brides etc....and questions THEY had? Did you have anything displayed next to your trifle bowl (for the give-away) such as a flyer?

Good Luck on your followups! Thats awesome!
 
I'm doing a Bridal Fair on the 23rd of February and love the information on the display. I also would be interested in what the questions were that the participants had.

Bridal Show picture and infoThe person who ran the show sent me a picture of my display .
As for questions the brides asked:
Is the registry free?
How do people purchase gifts from my registry?
Do you do a cooking demonstration at my shower?
What can I register for?
What is Pampered Chef?
Can I have a shower and do a registry?
This bridal show was in my hometown which is small around 10,000 people and there were probably only about 60 brides come through.

Beside the trifle bowl I had entry forms and a sign that stated my name company name and what I was giving away .

When someone would approach the table I would say something like this: Are you familiar with the Pampered Chef?(Believe it or not several were not) then I would say did you know that we do bridal registries and showers. Then I would go on and tell them about those. Share everything about the registry the additional free product you can earn, that they are available for the monthly special they close their registry in and a discount for a year.

I told the brides that I would do the registry for them. So have a space on your giveaway slip for their wedding date and email address. This way I knew that they just weren't walking away with info about the registry and not actually set one up. I go in and do the Ultimate Kitchen registry for them and told them they can go in and take away or add the products they choose.

Hope this was helpful!!
