What to ask each candidate

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

Which sweets, from which tradition?
Free text on purpose — the couple names their own tradition; the template never guesses it from a list.
Counted per guest or per household?
Boxed sweets often go one per household, like an invitation; a sweets table serves per guest. Switches the quantity derivation below.
Where are the sweets coming from?
A specialty sweets shop is usually a different vendor from the wedding cake baker — this instance keeps its own engagement.
How far ahead can they be made or delivered?
Mithai and mochi run short; koufeta and cookie trays keep. The vendor's answer, not the couple's preference.

What settles once booked

The working details you and your vendor pin down together.

What role do the sweets play?
How many portions or boxes?
DERIVED from THIS scope — never another dessert instance's count.
Dietary needs and allergies
Nuts run through many of these traditions — pistachio in baklava and mithai, almonds in koufeta — and ghee is dairy. The vendor sees the same rollup the caterer does, so a nut-free or vegan portion can be planned per item.
Who fills and places the boxes?
Delivery and handoff
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

Sweets delivery
Sweets served / distributed
Moves with the role decision — a table opens after dinner; favor boxes go out at send-off; a croquembouche is presented where the cake cutting would be.
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 guest.

Lines that sometimes ride along: Boxes & packaging, Delivery & setup.

What your vendor reads from your plan

Book on or off Beetrothed — either way the plan assembles a brief your vendor can work from: the event, counts, sweets, service, schedule, contacts.
