Bridal Fairs...to go or not to go?

I have never been to a bridal fair, but then again I have never had a reason to attend one. When I worked at the Candy store, they attended the bridal fairs, but I was usually the lucky one to get to stay at the store and work. My best friend Monica got married last year, but she decided that she wanted to attend the bridal fairs with just her Mom, which is definitely okay with me.

Now, I like to think that I have things mostly planned out. I know most of my vendors and have them booked, but I still just have this urge to want to go to the Bridal Fairs. Maybe this is for a couple of reasons:

1. You can never have too many ideas...
2. They give away free stuff!
3. They have a runway show
4. It's a bridal experience that you only get to do while you're engaged

I have several options of the bridal fairs that I can go to. The other decision of this is who to take with me...Do I invite my Mom and make it just the two of us? Do I invite my Mom, FMIL Kandi, MOH's Monica and Court? Do I invited the moms and all of my BM's? There are three different bridal fairs that I am looking into attending...

The Flint Hills Bridal Show

94.5 Country Bridal Fair

Perfect Wedding Guide Spring Bridal Show

I still have time to worry about this, but at least I have found some shows that would be possibilities to attend.
