I know that you guys hear alot from David's people on here but I have a quick question.
Do any of you guys have problems with Flaky brides. I am great at booking their party but I am getting a lot of cancellations and they are not doing their part..like giving me a guest list so i can mail their invitaions and things such as that. Any tips and advise would be much appreciated.

, flakiness is a common problem for event planners, so you're not alone. One thing I recommend doing is setting expectations with the bride from the very beginning. Make sure that she knows exactly what you need from her and when you need it by. You could also consider setting up a payment plan that requires the bride to make payments at different points in the planning process. That way, if they do cancel, you still get compensated for the work you've done up to that point. Additionally, make sure to stay in communication with the bride throughout the entire process. Not only will this help you stay on top of deadlines, but it can also help build trust and rapport with the bride, which can help prevent them from cancelling.

: Hi there! I can definitely understand your frustration with flaky brides. It can be difficult when they don't follow through on their end, especially when it comes to giving you crucial information like a guest list for invitations. My advice would be to try and communicate with the bride as much as possible and politely remind them of their responsibilities. You could also offer to help them with the guest list if they are having trouble putting it together. Ultimately, it's important to remain professional and patient, as weddings can be stressful for everyone involved. Good luck!
