So I scheduled a 5:45 came tasting this evening and the bride never showed. This is the first time its happened to me and while its not a huge deal, if i didn't have another one scheduled for 7, id be pretty put out!
Just wanted tp give a little vent to those who would understand.
Mine got to the point to where I don't even reschedule no-shows and I also say something like "All clients are important and I wouldn't not show up to a wedding, please let us know if you will not make it."
I mean most people in my target have phones w/ email, it takes them 5 seconds to cancel.
I haven't had a no show since. So I think it worked (so far).
Yah, it happens. Younguns' have no manners any more.
It's not only the young'uns...I had the MOB call to arrange a tasting for when her daughter would be in town, which ended up having me do it on a Sunday to accomodate them. I had to email the directions twice because she lsot them, then she called about half an hour before the appt time and said that they were going to be about 10-15 minutes late because the dress fitting was going late. They never showed up at all! 
No call, nothing. Very strange, and it makes me want to go to Jamie's system sooner rather than later.
had a no show two weeks ago, (well, actually, she called an hour late and told me they'd be there in 45 minutes
I basically told her in nice terms that she had already had her chance, and I was done with her. Bye Bye. She's be the one to take three hours at the tasting and then book some el-cheapo cake at WalMart.
I love that I'm at the point where I can fire my customers. I don't jump through hoops like I used to, and it feels so GOOD!

Excellent. I treat my customers like kings and queens, and I smile sweetly at the ones I want to kill. And then come here and throw up about them. Thank God for CC!

HOOPS !!! we're supposed to jump through hoops??? oh no.. i didnt get that memo !! 
I guess i am just blunt. I let them know that if they don't show up for a taste test/consult without a few hours notice or even day when possible they sorry about their luck. I dont reschedule NO SHOWS. Just say no to hoops !!!

Jamie you crack me up! It's early in the morning and I'm already laughing at my computer screen and my dogs are looking at me like I'm nuts.
