repost from 09 board... need some advice... should I worry or not a big deal?
Hey Ladies,
I need some advice. My bridal shower is not a surprise because none of my bridesmaids live on Long Island and I wanted to help my mom a little. Anyway, everything for my bridal shower is set up- its about a month away and the RSVP date is is on saturday. The place where my bridal shower is being held is now under new management (although I think the same owners) and has a new menu. My mom and I went there today to go over the contract. We did not hit it off with the new manager. Basically, we were told that if we paid cash we would not have to pay taxes. On our contract it says 'the price + gratuity= this per person for cash' and he said that doesn't mean anything to him. Which I can see what he is saying, because it does not say anywhere for cash, no taxes. But needless to say my mom got a little upset. Not like a huge scene, but he was kind of a jerk. Paying the extra money isn't a huge deal or anything, now my parents will just pay on credit card. I am just worried that he won't honor our menu. I am also a little worried we won't get great service because he already doesn't like us. Do you think its way to late to change venues?? Maybe if we sent something else out to all the ladies that are coming? or is this nothing to worry about? Thanks so much for the advice!!!
