5 Tips For Attending A Virtual Wedding Show

Thanks so much Covid for changing the way we plan weddings (insert total sarcasm voice here).

You can’t interview vendors in person. Talking about your wedding with your family and friends after dinner is mostly non-existent. And you can forget about attending a wedding expo or wedding show.

Or can you?!?

Have you heard of a virtual wedding show? No, check out our article on What Is A Virtual Wedding Show??? Interested? We thought you might be! How about some tips on making your experience amazing?

  1. Put the date and time on your calendar as soon as you sign up and make it a priority.

    I know stuff happens, but you won’t get any benefit if you don’t actually attend. Besides, most of the discount codes won’t be given out until the end of the show.

  2. Download the appropriate app before the show.

    This one seems a little silly, but it will make clicking the link and getting into the show faster and easier day of.

  3. Take a peek at the schedule and see who you want to be sure to be present for.

    You may have already booked a vendor or two already and are really interested in others. Look at the schedule to make sure you’re online and in a place to listen and interact when those you are super interested in will be presenting.

  4. If you have the time, listen to everyone, even vendor categories you may have already booked.

    You may pick up some tips, tricks and advice to help with those vendors already booked.

  5. Open the emails that come before and after the show from the organizers and participating vendors.

    This is where the discount codes, special offers and other goodies will be given to you. You don’t want to miss them.

I know this isn’t ideal. It isn’t normal. It isn’t what you dreamed about. And trust me, my heart is breaking for you. But I do love that I get a more intimate experience with you while you decide which vendors to hire. I love that attending a virtual option keeps you safe. And I love that the vendors that chose to step into this mode of working with you are among the most progressive and professional in our area.
