National Wedding Fair - to go or not?

Hello! I'm going on Friday...like you I have my dress, tog, venue, car etc booked.

I'm only going for a day out and to get some inspiration and ideas of centrepieces and little bits and pieces. I still need to get invitations so might pick some up from there...oh, and freebies!!

Still debating this myself, the tickets are something I cant really justify at the moment and would hate to go and realise that I reeeeeally need lots of new things I hadn't even given a thought to before. However I would also like inspiration for my wedding. Tempted to go without H2B on the Friday...

I think it would be really fun

Thank you.

I thought that might be the case as most wedding fairs only have the things i already organised!!

If its anything like the London one - you won't be getting this! I expected the same but later learned that suppliers were being charged £ 6k for a stand. there were lots of dresses, photographers etc. not enough "ideas" in my opinion - i was very disappointed.

Hope the NEC is different to the London one though!!

I didn't see this before my post above - completely agree with this

I personally don't like wedding fayres as I don't find them helpful.

Websites and forums like this are much more helpful in my opinion. Plus I find them a bit stressful and a lot of suppliers are pushy or pounce on you as soon as you walk over!

Ah, really? I've held off going to any other wedding fayre as I knew I was going the wedding show. I'm now in 2 minds :/

Definitely changed my mind... Will stick to the wedding fair the venues hold and that's it. I do HATE a pushy sell.

Now you've got the tickets go and see what you think - no point in wasting your money - and may be different from the london one

We will be there. Come and get some free pictures in our photo booth and a few dips of the chocolate fountain. Very tempted to take a slush machine too.. must check the weather forecast!
