TIPS FOR THE RUNNING OF THE BRIDES ®
THE WEEK BEFORE
Pick a team -- people whose taste you trust and are willing to get in there and do shopping battle for you
Hold a pre-sale meeting with your team:
• come up with a team uniform- matching hats, t-shirts, headbands, carry whistles-anything that would make it easier to find each other in the crowd
• assign jobs to team members—someone to gather, someone to trade, someone to help you in and out of the dresses, someone to guard your inventory from prowlers
• tear out pages from bridal magazines, or print styles from on-line wedding gown sites to show your team what you’re looking for
• pick place to rendezvous in the store
MORNING OF
Dress code-- wear a sports bra and shorts or a bathing suit so you can try on dresses anywhere in the store; DO  NOT WEAR FLIP FLOPS if you plan to participate in the “rush to the racks” (we’ve seen a couple of nasty tumbles)
Leave your handbag at home—you’ll need both hands for this.
Please, NO MAKE-UP. You wouldn’t want to find the dress of your dreams only to find it smeared with lipstick. CLEAN HANDS are appreciated.
No food or drinks inside the store; get rid of trash before the doors open in the receptacles provided.
