Nails

Manicures and pedicures ahead of the wedding, for anyone in the party who wants them.

Also called: nails, manicure, pedicure, nail artist, gel, dip.

When couples book this

Usually booked about 7 months out. It moves with your date.

Your wishlist, before you talk to anyone

Questions you can answer early — they become the yardstick you compare candidates against.

Who do you want nails done for?
Wishlist mirror of who_is_covered — the party size you're planning for.
Which nail services matter most to you?
Where would you like nails to happen?
Wishlist mirror of location — whether you want someone who travels to you.

What to ask each candidate

Facts that differ from one vendor to the next — worth writing down while you shop.

Which services?
Where is it happening?

What settles once booked

The working details you and your vendor pin down together.

Who's getting nails done?
How many people getting done?
DERIVED from party roles, same pattern as hair and makeup.
Day-of touch-up plan
Colors, shapes, and per-person notes
What time do they arrive?
The time you agreed together, not an estimate worked back from the ceremony.
What times are set on the day?
One row per moment — a serving round, a pickup leg, a person's slot, a set. Each row becomes its own block on your run of show, labeled with whatever you type, so name it for whoever will be reading it.
What time do they finish?
Who do you call on the day?
The name and cell number of whoever is on site — not the office line.
Where do they come in, and where do they park?
The load-in door or dock, where the vehicles go, and who opens up.
Do they need a meal?
Counts toward your caterer's vendor-meal number.
What balance is due on the day?
Your own figure, from your contract — what is still owed when they arrive.
What gratuity are you planning?
Your own figure. It rides beside the balance on the day-of money sheet.

How it lands on your day

Nail touch-up
Emitted only when the touch-up decision picks a morning artist visit.
Set time
One block per row of the cell's dayof_service_times answer; the row's own label names it, and its `until` makes it a window.

How it’s usually priced

Usually priced per service.

Lines that sometimes ride along: Gel / dip upgrade, Nail art, Travel / on-location fee.

What your vendor reads from your plan

Book on or off Beetrothed — either way the plan assembles a brief your vendor can work from: appointment, services, the event, contacts.

Plan your nails — and everything around it

These questions live as one cell of a connected plan: your budget, guest list, checklist and timeline all read from the same answers. See the whole board work, or join the waitlist and we’ll write when it’s your turn.
