Room Reduction / Booking Deadline Wording

[hellosassypants]

If they know for sure they are coming but can't pay until next year, could you put down the deposit for them? I've thought about doing this since our deposit is only $150, but it would have to only be for people I really trust to come through! If it sounds like our resort is close to selling out I'll definitely give this serious thought.

 

We have already paid a big hefty deposit to keep the rooms for them. =/ Hopefully by January, they can start booking.

Our deadline is today at 3pm est and I had a cousin text me asking if she could just give me her credit card information so I can book for her.  How annoying is that?!  I would never contact the bride or groom the day of a deadline and ask them to book a room for me.  I could understand if she wasn't computer savvy, but she is on a computer everyday and to ask a few hours before the deadline is just rude.

 

In addition, my fiance's sister told him this morning that she can't make her deposit now because she found out about the deadline at the last minute!  He's been calling her for weeks about it!  We told our families in February this was happening, save the dates went out in May and invites went out in October and the invites clearly state the booking and final payment deadlinees.  So infuriating!  My assumption is if she doesn't have $100 for a deposit now she isn't going to be able to go.

 

Sorry, had to vent!

 

OMG, how frustrating! I'm so sorry. *sigh* Sometimes I don't mind helping but having to constantly remind them is a job already.
