Funny Phone Calls

As most of you know,I co-own High Days and Holidays, a party decorating company. Party Decorators are very common in larger centers, but not here where people tended to have large extended families to do their party decorating for them. More and more we're hearing,especially from older brides, that they don't want their families to be working like dogs on their wedding day. They want them to come and enjoy themselves too. The worst part is the 2 a.m. takedown. Anyway, since we started this business people are becoming more aware of what a party decorator is and does. Not so when we first started. I would have thought the name Wedding and Party Decorators would have been fairly clear. However, we've had calls asking if we rent ferris wheels, Sumo wrestling suits, book carricature artists, and the list goes on. When you say "No, we don't. We decorate for parties." it doesn't end there. They argue. "Are you sure? Because we really need a ferris wheel!" Uh, just a minute and I'll check the back yard and see if I overlooked the circus rides....
