Set up a bridal fair table? I am getting ready for a bridal fair and am curious if anyone has any pictures they would be willing to share of the display tables they have done. I have read several of the posts, I just want some ideas.

I just went to a bridal fair where they would have about 3-4 cakes displayed with a little note in front of it saying what the flavor and fillings were and how much it cost. I really like that because I was able to see If I could afford them or not.

The last bridal fair I went to, one of the places actually gave samples of cake... very small squares, but enough to get someone hooked. That's just a thought if you want to do something above and beyond a regular display.

I also suggest having your information (brochures, cards) readily available. Not everyone feels comfortable talking in that atmosphere, and may prefer to call or e-mail you later for information. Often, those displays that did not have their information out, were among those I passed by when I was doing wedding research.

Also, avoid being overly pushy or "desperate" sounding. Some of the vendors I spoke to at a show acted like losing my business would cause them to shut their doors. While I wanted to feel important, the pressure was too much.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for the information. This is what I was planning. 3 cakes for display, portfolio, drawing box and samples in the 2 oz. containers with my business name on them. The problem I am having is visualizing how to set it up. 2 cakes on the end, 1 on the other. Portforlio in the middle? Where do the samples go then. My table is 6x2. Anyway, I was just hoping some people here had pictures so I could get some ideas for set-up. I googled and could not find anything.

TIA

I would put your brochures and business cards on one of the ends-it tends to get crowded towards the middle of the tables-that would probably be the best place to display the cakes.
