When/If you hold an open house or free tasting for brides and the public in general, is it then fair to charge for a separate consultation/tasting that goes towards the balance?

Also, is it too forward to hand out contracts at an event like this?

Finally, is it customary to provide all the flavors on the menu? Or is it safe to simply stick with the mainstays?

Thanks in advance...

Sweetlayers, Sorry don't have any advice on this because I don't hold open houses. But, I do have advice about being ignored on this site!!!!!!!! Seems like if you put some kind of dramatic subject line like "Bidezilla" or "Crappy Customer" or anything that indicates an altercation, you get alot more responses around here.....I often get ignored on the "How to" questions as well.......Hmmmm! What's up with that!

No worries,

I'll just be a big girl and figure it out. I guess I just miss being spoon fed.

Yeah, drama sells. I think it's a sign of the times.
