From The Better Business Bureau of Central East Texas:

Planning a wedding is a major emotional and financial investment, and Better Business Bureau advises brides and grooms-to-be to prepare before selecting vendors for that special day. Every year, BBB receives hundreds of complaints about wedding services and suppliers.  Typical complaints concern contract disputes and failure on the part of the vendor to provide products or even show up for the wedding.

 “Organizing a wedding involves orchestrating a symphony of vendors, and bridal expos can be a great one-stop shop to find all of the service providers you would need”, said Mechele Agbayani Mills, President and CEO of BBB Serving Central East Texas.  “There is much to consider, however, so couples should take their time and do their research before signing on the dotted line.”

The Children's Clothing Consignment Sale will take place April 11 - 13 at Harvey Convention Center in Tyler.

Folks from across East Texas make the trip to Tyler for this sale each year, because they've learned that it's not only a children's clothing sale, but also a sale at which they can buy gently used maternity clothing, shoes, equipment, baby furniture, playground equipment, books, software, videos, toys and home decor and furniture. If you're looking for a table, bookshelf or couch, this might just be the place to find it at a great price.

The sale offers over 30,000 square feet of space. A great feature of the sale is a half-price sale on Saturday.

The sale does not accept recalled items, cribs manufactured before June 28, 2011, or anything faded, worn out, out of style, or with stains, rips or holes. You can feel good about what you'll find available at the sale!
