Seattle Wedding Expo

It is that time of the year!!
The Grand Seattle Wedding Expo at the Convention Center January 7-8, 2012!
I went there with my maid of honor that will be getting married this coming August as well.
The entrance fee is quite expensive $17, but i think it is worth it as many vendors offer you "Wedding Expo only" deals when you went in there.
I was a bit bummed when i found out that the Entertainment book coupon for the wedding expo was not valid for this particular expo. Nevertheless, the trip inside was worth it.
I got $40 off deal from Men's Wearhouse when i signed up inside, also trying out many delicious cakes.

One trend for 2012 that I seem to notice is:
1) Pies instead of normal cakes
2) Many truck-mobile vendors: Skillet burgers catering, molly moon dessert truck.
3) Photo booth options: from flipbooks to traditional photo booth.

I Love Vistaprint

I think ordering Wedding stationery from Vistaprint is a bliss!!
www.vistaprint.com
Look out for some groupon deals on vistaprint.
Although groupon said it is 50% off the value, but because of random deals that Vistaprint regularly offers, it is technically about 20% extra on top off whatever Vistaprint usually offers. Still good deal though =)

Here's some ideas from other brides:
