I have my first Bridal show next weekend. I have gotten a few great ideas but I would like to have a good thread for everyone to garner info.

I have a 6 foot draped table. I purchased some extra pink breast cancer M & M and was oging to put them in the simple additions caddy. I actually put bowls of pink M & M that were special printed on each table at the reception at my own wedding. I was thinking about using the 3 tiered stand and put plates or bowls of heart shaped sugar cookies. Cover the table with the faux ice and rose petals.

I was going to set up a registry form with the pertinent info an let them select a registry level.

A) Top 20 PC products
B) Kitchen basics
C) Gourmet Kitchen

I set up the registry for them and then let them know what their ID and password

Providing a goodie bag or Season's best for all who select this option.

I know how busy brides are since I am a newleywed myself.


I would love any ideas from each of you that have done or are thinking about doing bridal shows.

Sounds great! I have my first bridal expo at the end of the month & have been looking for ideas!
 
If you have a lot of Simple Additions, you can .
WHITE S.A. ONLY:
upside down Large Square - base
upside down Large Bowl - low section
upside down Medium Square - mid section
upside down Medium Bowl - mid seciton
upside down Small Square - top section
upside down Small Bowl - top,

then set something on the very top - small silk flowers. You can drape white ribbons on this and it looks like a Wedding Cake!

Look in KCN for ideas. Use the 2 bamboo Spoons inside the Crinkle Cutter heart with a white ribbon on it.

Great idea but I don't have enough simple additions for that
 
)Hi Kathy, congratulations on your upcoming bridal show! It sounds like you have some great ideas already. I love the idea of incorporating the pink breast cancer M&Ms and the heart-shaped sugar cookies into your display. It adds a personal touch and ties into your own wedding experience. For the registry options, I would suggest adding a fourth option for "Bridal Shower Essentials" which could include items like the Garlic & Brie Baker, Trifle Bowl, and Quick-Stir Pitcher. This could be a fun and unique option for guests to choose from for the bride's shower. In addition to the goodie bag or Season's best for those who select a registry option, you could also offer a special discount or free gift with purchase for those who book a bridal shower or wedding show. This could be a great way to incentivize guests to book a party with you and potentially increase your sales. Some other ideas for your display could be showcasing a few different kitchen themes, such as "Date Night In" or "Brunch Essentials." You could also have a fun game or raffle for guests to participate in, with a prize of some of your top PC products. I hope these ideas help and best of luck with your bridal show! Let us know how it goes.
