A wedding vendor’s biggest pet peeve is when you inquire with them, talk to them, and then ghost them, leaving them in a state of uncertainty about your intentions. If you did any type of dating before you met your spouse, you know how frustrating being ghosted is, as it can create a sense of confusion and disappointment. Not only does it waste their time, but it also hinders their ability to make plans for other potential clients.
Here are two samples of what you can say to a vendor if you have made any type of contact with them but don’t plan to hire them:
1.
Hi (fill in vendor’s name),
Thank you for your time and the information you provided. After careful consideration, we have decided to go in a different direction for our wedding needs. We appreciate your understanding and wish you the best in your future endeavors.

2.
Hi (fill in vendor’s name),
I/we appreciate the time you took to (send over pricing/talk on the phone/share your vision) with us. We can tell you love what you do and are good at it! (OR, fill it with something else that is true, no BS). We have decided to go in a different direction for (fill in craft/skill) that we think is best for us and our wedding.
We wish you the best!
(insert fiancé and your name here)
This way, you leave the conversation respectfully, allowing both parties to move on without lingering questions.
