I mai lout the postcard invitations as a courtesy for my hostesses. It is also a way for me (or so I thought) to guarantee that a show would indeed really happen and not get cancelled. I have the hostess give me her guestlist 3-4 weeks prior and I mail out the invites 2-3 weeks prior.
I pay for the postage.
I include a letter in my initial letter to the hostess explaining that this is my job, my family relies on me and my income...so if they need to cancel to please give ma ample notice...and if they need to cancel at the last minute to please see if a friend could host the show in her place so that I do not end up unemployed for the night.
Well, it's Monday. Saturday's hostess JUST emailed me (didn't even have the courtesy to call) and cancelled saying "I just haven't been able to put any time or effort into this show and none of my friends can make it that day...I would like to reschedule if possible."
I am ticked!
Maybe SHE didn't out the time and effort in...but *I* did...as well as the postage!!! Am I out of line to ask her to refund me the postage I spent? If not, how would I word it?
Do I reschedule her and how then do I make sure she doesn't cancel on em again?
