hi ladies!
i'm setting up my website for my freelance wedding makeup, and i'm trying to poke around to see the best way to do things. i'm putting together a contract that i would require signed along with a 50% deposite in order to hold a date. i could obviously take check or cash if the bride was meeting with me in person, but what about over the internet? i have a paypal account but is it sketchy to be like, "hey so i'll invoice you on my paypal"? i want to be professional, but i just dont really know what's commonly done in the bridal makeup industry.
also, i was wondering if any of you have had a situation where a bride booked a trial and not the day of? would you have them sign a contract? and does booking a trial hold their wedding date?
i'm trying to prepare for payment/contracts in case i run into that situation.
thanks so much for your help!
