| Fort Worth Bridal Show |

On February 25-26, the Fort Worth Bridal Show at
the
Amon Carter Exhibit Hall helped over 800 brides
plan their wedding and gave over 125 wedding
companies the opportunity to promote their business!
It was a wonderful weekend for all involved, and we
would like to thank all of our exhibitors that
contributed to this beautiful show. Don't forget to
book your space for the next Fort Worth Bridal Show
scheduled to take place July 22-23, 2006.

| Plano Bridal Show |
|
|
Another successful Plano Bridal Show took place last
Sunday, March 12, at the Plano Centre. One hundred
wedding companies had the opportunity to meet with
500 Collin County and Metroplex brides.
The intimate setting allowed exhibitors more time
with the brides and also gave the chance for each
bride to see it all in one day. Due to the continuing
success of the Plano Bridal Show, many companies
urge Bridal Shows, Inc. to continue this regional
show.
Due to the smaller facility space always filling up, call
and book your spot
today if
you are interested in the next Plano Bridal Show to
be held September 17, 2006.

Naomi's Notes: "Choices"
by Naomi Hulme |
|
|
As business owners, employees, and people in
general, we are forced to make choices constantly.
In life we have many choices and all choices have
consequences. We have the choice every day
whether
we are going to make our day positive or negative.
We are accountable for those choices--no one else
is. In effect, all of our choices create who we are
and who we become. At Bridal Shows, Inc. we want
to make the right choices in order to have a positive
impact for you and your business.
We understand that everything we do makes a
difference in the world, and our work here makes a
huge difference in the lives of our exhibitors. We care
and make the
choice to advertise our shows extensively to
create a positive experience for our exhibitors and
the attendees.
Some important choices that can reflect in positive
or negative consequences are:
- Words: The words you choose will be a reflection
of you, and will also impact others. We have the
choice to choose
our words wisely so that they will create positive
impressions rather than the opposite.
- To Learn: we make the choice to learn, or not to
learn. Those who choose to learn move forward,
those who choose not to learn move backward.
Change is good! We learn everyday from each other
and try to work on new ways of learning what is
most effective. We learn from our mistakes, from
others mistakes, and from complaints. It is very
important to grow in knowledge each day. Learn
everyday...to do something, or not to do
something.
- Be thankful: We also have the choice to
complain, or be thankful for problems or trials.
Maintaining a positive attitude throughout
the "valleys" in life will always teach us more than
when we are on the "mountain tops." Be thankful for
everything and you will be positive!
In conclusion, our choices have consequences either
positive or negative. Choices change based
on experiences and influences, and the way you do
things will change as you grow older. All of our
experiences make us different; how they make us
different is up to us!
Choose your words carefully, choose to learn, choose
to be positive, and you and your company will
prosper!

Spring to Action! |
|
|
|
We are now nearly four months into the new year
and well intended New Year's resolutions are starting
to fall by the wayside. Spring is a wonderful time to
stop and self-reflect and as business owners it is
imperative to evaluate the successes and
shortcomings of your company.
Take the time to find ways to improve your
business this year by engaging in the following
activites:
- Attend
seminars and learn from professionals on how to
better manage and grow your business.
- Network with other wedding professionals for
advice and ideas through joining a wedding
association. (see links to organizations we are a part
of
in our "Quick Links" section)
- Set short-term and long-term goals for your
company and determine a road map to meet those
goals. What needs to happen to get to your goal?
What does this goal require of you and your
employees?
- Let us know what we can do to assist you! Bridal
Shows, Inc. is more than bridal shows, our goal is to
help build businesses like yours!

Motivational Messages
"It's a misnomer that our talents make us a success.
They help, but it's not what we do well that enables
us to achieve in the long run. It's what we do wrong
and how we correct it that ensures our long lasting
success."
-Bernie Marcus, co-founder, Home Depot
"There are no easy businesses. Every single one
is
hard. Having perseverance means, most critically,
persevering through failure. I love to talk about my
successes, but the only way that I've ever learned
anything is through failure."
-Martin Cooper, inventor of the cell phone
