Personal info labels for bridal show

Hi all! I'm going to a local bridal show this weekend (my first time), and I have read and been told that it's a good idea to print your information onto labels to save having to hand write it over and over. What information should I include on said labels?

I've also been told to create an email address specifically for this, so I've done that. Does anyone have any other useful tips, tricks, or advice?

Thank you!

    I made them, but felt like I had to write it out a million times anyway.

    I didn't meet anyone useful at the shows, so just enjoy the samples if you can get them!

    I made them and I thought it was a life saver. I put my name and address, as well as an email address I created just for wedding vendors (seriously, these people are going to bombard you with info, so you do not want this coming to your regular email address). I may have also put a phone number, but I can't remember off the top of my head.

    My mom dragged me to a million of these, and so I started making her do this instead of making me write half of them for her haha. Soo much easier.

     

    I put her 'wedding' email, phone number, name and postal code. We didnt put a physical address, but postal code gives the area should they REALLY need to know.

    I went to one bridal show.  I only filled out things when I wanted to get more information.  I figured it was pointless to fill out my information at every booth just because.

    I did learn about the bridal salon where I got my dress at the bridal show.  And I also got a $100 off coupon from that salon that I used towards my wrap around headband.

    I would probably avoid putting phone number on it.  Wedding e-mail should be sufficient for contact and you can write in your phone number in for specific places that need it.  I didn't give my info out to too many people, but I was still bombarded with phone calls for wedding or honeymoon related stuff.  And that went on for months after the wedding even... it got very annoying. Ditching a wedding e-mail address is easy, but ditching your phone number is much more complicated. I actually started wishing I had bought a cheap burner phone for wedding stuff that I could just discard the wedding. 

    Besides e-mail, I'd probably put mailing address, but that's up to you.  And of course, wedding date and location (maybe just city, if you don't know venue yet).

    I never gave my phone number to any vendors, but they still managed to find me. I've been getting calls for Sandals honeymoon packages for about 3 years now ever since the first bridal show I went to (we got married a year ago). After that, I gave out a junk email address (I had another one I used for actual wedding stuff - contracts, contacting vendors on my own, etc) and a fake name, even when registering for the shows because those companies totally sell your information.

    I went to a bridal show back when I had a house phone, which was the number I gave them. I had to turn the ringer off for a month b/c of the constant calls.
