I’m flexible with payment plans, so let’s chat to see what works best for your family!
I never like finances to get in the way of a great experience, so let’s talk more if you have any questions about payment. Here are a few other ideas to help budget for services:
Arrange a payment plan
Include requests on your baby shower invitation asking for donations in addition to or in lieu of gifts
Get donations from friends and family (many loved ones will pitch in so you’re only responsible for a portion of the cost)
Offer a service to barter in exchange for some of my fee, depending on the items or services you/your loved ones are offering. Some examples include handyman services, home improvement, graphic design, babysitting, landscaping, deep cleaning, music lessons, snow removal, etc.
