Good morning ❤️
I’m going to have to touch on the subject of deposits and cancellations as much as it is my biggest hate.
This weekend alone I’ve been let down twice 😞. I was asked to hold a date in the diary for 3.5 weeks whilst someone was waiting to get paid to send deposit. I then messaged the person twice, only for them to cancel completely. Then of course the other person who enquired on the same date has confirmed someone else leaving me with a date I can’t now fill this late.
The second is someone who cancelled a party the day before, a deposit had been paid but as someone who works completely alone, arranges childcare, buys prizes and sweets etc as well as now losing a whole working day when I mostly only have a 2 day party window a week, you can imagine the frustration. In this instance too I have given up an important appointment because I had committed to the party and sent multiple message throughout the week (albeit this person had been poorly).
So unfortunately the deposit has to be paid within 48 hours of the party enquiry or time slot can not be saved. I will also be reconfirming all parties 2 weeks before, potentially with 50% of payment due.
I hate posting such a negative thing before 8 o’clock on a Sunday morning but just this weekend alone has been a bit of a financial hit for me and as someone who hasn’t raised my
prices in years to make parties more affordable for people it’s a bit of a shame that people do not realise that I am a 1 person company with a young family of my own to provide for.
Anyway on a positive it’s Sunday and I am now off so I’m going to take my kids to soft play, my parents are coming to visit and I’m going to cook a roast ❤️ happy Sunday gorgeous people ❤️
