DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT give out your name and phone number to ANY wedding related people (photographers, caterers, bakers, florists, etc). They will call you EVERY day. They WILL NOT let you get off the phone if you make the mistake of answering. My mom and I went to a bridal show and I put my name and number on little slips of paper that were supposed to win me prizes. The only prize is ENDLESS phone calls. I just got off the phone with a VERY pushy woman wanting me to set-up a free photography consultation. The only way I could get off the phone was to say I was at work and ask if she could call back in the evening. Even then she wouldn't let me go right away! ARGH!!!!! I can't answer my cell phone anymore!
Oh and don't get me started on the emails...

Oh, god. Tell them that if they don't end the phone call, you're hanging up.
Or you're reporting them to the Better Business Bureau for... um, something. :-)
Jeez, what are you going to say when she calls back???

oh no! Are you getting married in NJ? I have a friend that does wedding cakes. If you're interested let me know and I'll send you the link to her website.

Oh what fun. It's such a huge industry. Good luck dodging them.

Ugh! what a terrible business practice! I was really bummed that I missed the wedding show here in town last year but now maybe I'm glad I missed it!
GOOD LUCK!
