🤍 A little update from Riley’s Play Patch 🤍
This is a post I never thought I’d have to make.
From now on, all bookings will only be secured once a 50% deposit has been received.
This wasn’t an easy decision, and it’s something I really hoped I wouldn’t have to introduce. I completely understand that life happens, plans change and sometimes cancellations are unavoidable. I would never want anyone to feel uncomfortable if something genuinely unexpected comes up.
Unfortunately, after receiving several cancellations in a short space of time, I’ve realised I need to put something in place to help protect my small business.
Behind every booking is a lot of time and preparation, not just from me but from another lovely local business who creates all of your personalised items. When a booking is cancelled after we’ve started preparing everything, that time, effort and cost can’t always be recovered.
I’ve personally contacted everyone with an existing booking to explain this change, and if you’ve already replied, thank you so much for your understanding and kindness – it honestly means so much.
✨ Keep an eye out for the upcoming themes next month;
🌸 Baby in Bloom
🤠 First Rodeo
🦁 Wild One
Please also note that availability throughout August is limited as we’re making the most of my final month of maternity leave before I return to work on the 17th September.
Thank you for continuing to support Riley’s Play Patch. Every booking, recommendation, like and share helps my little business grow, and I’ll always do my best to make your little one’s special day as perfect as possible.🧸🌈
