WEDDING VENDOR CONTRACTS
A vendor presents a contract to a couple, and the couple views the contract as non-negotiable. If they want the vendor, they have to sign it. So they do. Then months later, they start complaining that a vendor used their photos for advertising without checking with them (it was in the contract), or that they didn’t get a floral proposal back as quickly as they wanted it (it was in the contract). Because my general rule is that you are not allowed to complain about people following contracts that you willingly signed, let’s talk about how to end up with contracts that actually work for you.•Contracts require an offer, acceptance, and consideration. Consideration means that both parties provide something (a service, money, etc.). Without consideration, you don’t have a contract; you have a legally unenforceable gift.
