free stuff. And cake

hjl lol fabric conditioner
i have been really put off wedding fairs and they just dont seem worth it i was going to the one at the nec but loads of girls said they wasnt impressed! x

First I go past, then H2B, then I swoop in again for a second run if the give aways are really good!

magic yeah thats the other thing thats annoying being hounded by ppl i didnt like that!! and trying to escape from them but ending staying with them for 30 mins while they drivel on lol xx

lol at the fabric conditioner....I've definately not had that. My daughter has been loving all the cake though :) and I did get a really horrible chocolate from a local hotel....not even in a wrapper!!!
Once I know what it is I'm looking for exactly I might try again and se if its any better.

Ah yes, I booked my venue based on the fayre they held as one of the rooms used will be my ceremony room. But ask me if I can remember any of the suppliers in that room? Not a chance! I think there was a photographer and a makeup girl, but I'm not sure.

Actually, I would only walk over if the stall holder was busy hassalling someone else first! Then I could browse their wares before deciding if I wanted to hang around for the spiel. I agree that all the photographers do look the same after a while, so I'd only approach them to have a feel of their albums and a nosy at their style. Then I'd actually take a copy of their pricelist, or other literature and scribble down my initial impression ("expensive, maybe too much", "nice, ask more questions", "avoid like the plague!") This works for other suppliers too.
Freebies are great, but it's only really, really useful if you can scribble notes at the time. The best freebie I got was a notepad and pen.

I'm sorry, I've got to ask. What supplier gave out fabric conditioner?

I have only been to 2 wedding fares just feel like I can't be bothered with them, I would rather search myself. I did get my transport at one but that was down to my mum as I would have just driven myself ha ha I was not bothered with transport at all!

Lol the fabric condition was in a goodie bag we got for going to the wedding fayre in the Metro Arena in Newcastle. We also got a large bottle of Jergens natural body moisturiser (which I'm addicted to now), radox deoderant, two large bottles of Head and Shoulders conditioner and shampoo, some Ariel stain remover, and loads of little miniature goodies which I saved and am giving to my BMs as a little treat. x

Linzmum ....your profile is restricted ....that means we cant send you a friend request or post lonks on your wall

know how you feel i have been to 3 wedding fairs and they were all exactly the same and to be honest i have found they bump up there prices so they can offer you special on the day deals so you think you are getting a bargin when if you contact them outwith the wedding fairs you can get the same deal or better sometime with a little bit of haggling but you expect that now i have just been looking up local venduers and contacting them direct and it pays to let them know if you have been offered a better deal else where i have found they usally try and better it if not match it xx

the ones i have been to i didnt get many freebies anyway and was disappointed with this.

I havent bothered with wedding fairs so far, if there any local ones I might have a nose but I wouldn't travel too far

Love the freebies, and smily faces, people that just let you look at their stand but are approachable if needed!!!! I have a real dislike for pushy sales people, if i say no thank you i mean no thank you lol.

I've only ever been to one wedding fayre and never again!!! I found every stand was just trying to give us the hard sell, and the fashion show was ridiculous - all the models looked barely out of high school (so not very realistic brides lol) and some couldn't even walk properly in the high heels they were wearing - very entertaining if nothing else pmsl.
