    If by best you mean biggest, I would definitely hit up the one in Novi at the Rock Financial Showplace and the one at the Palace. Bother were huge and had tons of vendors and giveaways. Just make sure you go organized - before you go, make up labels with your name, FI's name, address, phone number, email and Wedding Date. It will make things easier and make them go quicker. Also, go in knowing what you're looking for. They are huge and there are a ton of vendors. Make notes about the ones you like and dislike on the documentation they give you. When you get home, sort it out betweent he vendors you'd like to contact again to talk to and the ones you wished you never met (it will happen). This will make it soooo much easier. Also, be weary of what you win. Sometimes, it's not such a great deal.

    IMO, skip the bridal shows. Use The Knot for everything! Seriously, we'll give you rec's and ideas!

    I really like the big ones.. in Novi - Rock Financial and the one at the Palace. I go with my mom and BM's. We really like the tastings, the prizes (I have won 3) and to look at linens and such. we have all of our vendors except transportation and florists, but I plan to still attend just to see if I can win some more prizes!

    I'll also add that I won my entire 8 day, 7 night Jamaican honeymoon at the Palace Bridal Show. They are worth it for all the contests/tastings/fun if nothing else. Look for coupons for admission.

    the palace & rock financial are for sure the biggest.  if you go to any other & it's a brides-to-be show, don't bother going to any other b2b shows, same vendors all the time. i would also recommend setting up a "wedding email" that you can give you because you will get so much spam your head will spin.  also pre-print up labels with your name/email adress, wedding date & address.  i NEVER put my phone on anything unless i was actually serious about possibly wanting to use them, you'll get so many phone calls if you give it out to everyone.
