No shows

What happens do you just lose the money that you paid per plate at the reception??

Re: No shows

Are you at least allowed to donate the food to a shelter or something? Are all it's your money.

Re: No shows

I think it depends on the hall...I would ask.

Re: No shows

No shows are so rude!! Emergencies are one thing, but to just not show? One bride said she would send the no-shows the bill for their plate!

Re: No shows

Maybe you can wait to pay for your vendors, and trade them for the no shows.

Re: No shows

Yes - you lose the money. That's why it's so rude to be a no-show for a wedding!

That's an excellent idea.

Re: No shows

We lost the money but got to take home extra food.

Re: No shows

I think it depends on your hall's policy. The week before the wedding we have to pay for 95% of our expected guest list. Then the day of we settle the balance based on the actual attendance. So this way we have a little leeway in case of no-shows.
