*Sighs* 😕okay. Can we just take a moment today and talk a wee bit about basic etiquette?
•
Vendors, how many times have you opened up an email, DM, what’s App message and seen:
“How much?”
“I need decor how much do you charge”
“Can you make me a cake by this weekend”
“What’s the sale price you are having”
“How much do you charge for a wedding coverage?”
•
Literally no Hi, no name, no how are you?, nothing!
It boggles my mind every. Single. Time!🤯
If you are someone who is getting married, or inquiring for someone who is, please please PLEASE take a moment to address the vendor you are reaching out to by name.
‼️Please make sure you include important details such as:
🔅Name
🔅Event date(S)
🔅Timings
🔅Venue/ location
🔅Along with any other information that may be necessary.
•
If you’re sending them a DM, please still be courteous and not send in a one liner like “how much”.
When people message me and we “how much” for my services... I literally sit there, blinking, staring at the screen trying to figure out where to even start! Even I don’t know how much my decor or planning services will cost based on the information provided (read: none!)
•
By providing basic event info in your initial inquiry, you’ll be saving yourself and the vendor countless amounts of back and forth messages before receiving a quote. :)
•
“But Nas, when I send someone a DM, it’s just a quick message, I don’t have time to write up an essay of information. I just need to know how much something costs”
I get it, but in sending out a message you can still address the persons name. You can still provide some small amounts of details. Remember, this is someone you are hoping or thinking of building a working relationship with.
•
Think about it, most of the time, when it comes to weddings, everything is highly customized.
From cakes to decor to floor wraps to wedding dresses to photography and videography. It’s not always a black and white answer that can be given without any prior information.

If you’re not sure how to start or what to say, feel free to just copy the text written on the next slide. 🤗
