Aside from everyone being under one roof and not having to drive all around town to meet with vendors, the We Do Weddings Expo has many ways to help you save money on your wedding.
Bridal BucksEvery couple gets $500 in Bridal Bucks when they enter the door. Many of our vendors will accept these Bridal Bucks towards their packages for your wedding. Just look for the "Bridal Bucks Accepted Here" sign and ask that vendor how you could save. Bridal Bucks are valid for 30 days after the show. Click here to learn more.
Cash for ContractsIf you sign a contract at the We Do Weddings Expo, you might be one of the lucky couples who gets part of that contract paid BY US! How? Simply bring a copy of the contract or receipt to the Texas Wedding Guide booth anytime during the day. Those lucky brides whose names we draw will have 10% of their contract (up to $250) paid for by the We Do Weddings Expo. Click here to learn more .

Yes! We will have a fashion show at the We Do Weddings Expo. Click here for a schedule of the Fashion shows and a full list of participating vendors.
We suggest cute but comfy. Let's be honest, you will probably be taking some pictures that day, whether they are selfies or in a photo booth, so you'll want to look cute. But you'll be doing a lot of walking and standing, so comfortable shoes are a must.
Come prepared to make decisions.
Whether your wedding date is just around the corner or a couple of years away the We Do Weddings Expo is a big shopping area, everything is "bookable" and "buyable".
Couples with very popular wedding dates, such as those in the spring or fall months, will need to make quick decisions and commitments in order to secure their preferred wedding professionals.
Deposits and contract signings are encouraged at the We Do Weddings Expo. If you do sign a contract, be sure you enter your contract in our Cash for Contracts drawing.
Our best advice? If you are not prepared to make a deposit, at least plan to make a definite appointment at the show to meet with your favorite vendors.
The top vendors calendars fill up quickly—don't procrastinate, or you may end up with your second or third choices.
Many of our exhibitors provide delicious samples of their products at the show. There will also be a bar available in the hall. If you are looking for a full meal, we suggest going to one of Kalahari's many onsite restaurants. And then come back by 4PM for the Grand Prize drawing.
This is your wedding. Come with an open mind to the many new ideas that can help make it a truly unique event.

They are all on the cutting edge of the latest and greatest. Expect to see lots of new, exciting and beautiful elements to make your wedding day as special as the two of you.
