    I dont think it's too early hun, I was at wedding fayres in January last year and I'm getting married in September this year. The thing is, all the best people start getting booked up so the sooner you can find what you're after the better x

    29th September 2012
    Cant wait to be Mrs D!

    I've only attended 1 up to now. I'm going to another tomorrow. I wish i'd started attending them and planning earlier. Its never too early to be prepared. Plus, they're a lot of fun :) x

    I got engaged on 26th August and the first weekend in September I was at a wedding fayre, we're not getting married until June next year. I've been to 5 so far, I love going especially when you get goodies. The first one I went to I felt embarrassed when they asked when we were getting married but I was surprised when all the suppliers were saying the earlier you start getting prepared the better. I've booked my cake, make-up, DJ and hair stylists thanks to wedding fayres and got a discount with each one for doing it through the fayre. Your h2b doesn't have to go with you, you'll see h2bs at wedding fayres looking bored or confused. I took mine to one last week and he came out saying he needs to play call of duty just to give him some man points.

    I can't wait until 29/06/2013
    The day I marry the man of my dreams!

    Never to early. Always lots of different things to look at if just to get ideas. That all I go for really is the ideas. Maybe as we get closer to the date then when we go we might book things if they are right.

    It's never too early! Especially as quite a lot of people at fairs will offer deals and also price guarantees so if you see something you like you can book it and you'll get the prices as they are now instead of another price hike up for next year :) you may grab a bargain!

    Its never too early hun, like what Jill says all the best people get booked up early so the earlier you start the better. Tell your h2b gone are the days when you can plan and book everything in one year.

    it's never too early to go to wedding fayres. Some of the exhibitors offer discounts if you book on the day, so you can get an idea of prices and go home and do your sums so you can book them at the next wedding fayre if you want to. I did that on a few of my suppliers and saved a bit of money, not overly huge amounts but it all helps. My venue has started doing a 10% discount if you book on one of their wedding fayre dates :( wished I'd known that one before hand as that would've been a huge saving x

    I think you should definietly go, you can get a lot of good ideas and also get an idea of prices and start to work out your budget. Plus venues/catering/photographers/DJs etc will be taking bookings for next year already.

    we went with two years to go haha! Depends on how early you are prepared to get organised. We wanted things booked and sorted asap so I dont think its too early.

    Definitely not too early, I am getting married September next year and have been to a few wedding fayres already this year, i go just to get some inspiration and to see how much things are going to cost, haven't booked anything but have got plenty of ideas now from attending the fayres :-)

    I don't think it's ever too early to go to wedding fayres or even book/buy things if it's what you really want! Remember a lot of things like venues, photographers etc can get booked years in advance xx

    The greatest thing you'll ever learn
    is just to love and be loved in return

    Don't think is ever too early...they can really help give you ideas for what you like and don't like!! We got engaged May 2010 and aren't getting married till August but we all (mum,me,fiancé and dad in tow) all went to our first one in the Aug of 2010!!! I was too excited I couldn't wait to start planning. We have had some stuff booked and planned for ages, am hoping it will mean is less stressful nearer the time :) Let us know how you get on x x
