Bridal Fair Galore | January

With the reservation schedule fast approaching, we thought we should also start hunting for suppliers now. Once we get the date nailed, that's it... everything should follow. Since that's the case, I'm now keeping track of bridal fairs and events where we can find resources, get discounts and lots of freebies. I wouldn't mind winning in raffles too; who knows, we might just get something really, really nice. *wink wink*

This month, according to my best friend Google, and to my inbox, here are what's happening in Megatrade, SMX and other venues for couples-to-be:

January 15 - 16

The 11th Ultimate Wedding and Debut Fair, Megatrade Hall 3, Megamall

Highlights: As usual, freebies and discounts, more and more suppliers.Will visit their site again, in case they have something new

How to: I think something's wrong with their site, or maybe they are still updating it. Registration not working, I guess it's better to just visit their site http://islandexhibit.com/index.php

I'm not even sure if I can go to all these fairs, but I'll have them posted on my calendar, just in case my schedule permits it. As usual, rushing home now... still need to run to Rex to pick Di's law books and my lipstick from Hypermarket. See you later!
