Description
Scope creep rarely arrives as one big request. It comes as a dozen friendly little asks: one more table, a quick extra meeting, could you just set up the after-party space too. Each one feels too small to charge for, and by the wedding day you have done far more work than you quoted for, with no record of who asked for what.
This kit gives you a clear, repeatable way to define what each package includes and to manage changes calmly, fairly and in writing.
Inside you will find:
- Why scope matters and the five parts of a good scope
- A fill-in scope of work template for every booking
- An inclusions and exclusions list by area, plus exclusions worth naming
- How a consistent change process works, step by step
- A change request form covering time, costs, price and timeline impact
- A variation pricing worksheet with hourly, fixed and cost-plus approaches
- A client approval log to track every change from request to invoice
- A six-step guide to presenting changes, and scripts for tricky moments
- A list of points to check and discuss with your own lawyer
It is built for wedding planners, stylists, florists, coordinators and any wedding business that sells packages and wants to protect both the budget and the relationship. It is a working tool, not legal advice, so contract wording stays with your lawyer.
After you start using it, your couples know from the first proposal what is included and how changes work. Requests become simple choices rather than uncomfortable negotiations, extra work gets paid for, and you have a clean record of every approval if a question ever comes up. Most of all, you get to say yes to good ideas without quietly giving your time away.
