Swapping childcare for wedding services

Recommended Posts

Ok..

 

I had a brainwave last night and was wondering what you thought. I am struggling to afford a wedding as I want to pay for it all and not be paying it off when I am married!! iyswim...

 

So I had this idea... Its peak wedding season now, some of you suppliers might be struggling for childcare seeing as the kids have just broken up for school, or you might want some time off, or might need to attend you clients weddings on a saturday...

 

I propose a skill swap...

 

I will look after your children if you will offer your services for my wedding...

we can work out a proper contract and you will get x amount of hours of childcare in return for doing y for my wedding...

 

I am specifically looking at...

 

Brides and bridesmaid dresses (longshot, but worth a try)

florist

hair and/or make up for me, my mum and my then 2.5 yr old

chocolate fountain

wedding cars

wedding entertainment

cake maker

photographer

bridal jewellry

 

if the service comes to a lot more than the cost of childcare im willing to pay some cash towards, e.g dress etc

 

just an idea that we could help each other save on our weddings if we swapped services!

 

Thanks for looking and please pm me!

Great idea, but you are limiting yourself to suppliers who only have children.

 

I specialise in wedding entertainment but don't have kids :(

You know, I think that's a brilliant idea...and if my son wasn't on a full year contract at nursery, I'd take you up on it! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
