Safeguards · Priya & ArjunQUIET CHECKS ON EXISTING DATA · SURFACED BEFORE THEY BECOME STORIES

The disasters, pre-empted

Every card below exists because it happened to someone — sourced from the horror-story corpus, then pointed backwards in time. All of it is computed from rows the platform already has.

Headcount realism — Sangeet planning number
RSVP SAYS 212 · REALITY SAYS OTHERWISE

Diaspora weddings run 5–10% confirmed no-shows and 3–7% unconfirmed walk-ins — "family everyone knew would come." Your studio's history: −7% attrition, +19 likely walk-ins from 6 flagged households. Planning number: 224 covers, not 212.

Vendor gone quiet — DJ Dhol Nation
RESPONSIVENESS DROPPED · THE GHOSTING SIGNATURE

Last 3 messages unopened · info request blank for 9 days · was same-day for 4 months. Silence precedes every no-show story on the internet. Plan B on the roster: Bhangra Beats (backup tier, 2 weddings, ★4.7).

Schedule risk — no recovery time
FROM THE REGRET LITERATURE, VERBATIM

Haldi and Sangeet share Saturday with a 40-minute gap — prep-heavy events with no recovery is the #1 over-scheduling regret. Also: the reception run sheet has no couple-meal block, the most-cited "wish we had" of married Reddit.

Contract guardrail — Bloom & Co florist
FLAGGED BEFORE ANYONE SIGNS

Refund terms: not stated. Deposit: 60% up front vs your studio norm of 30% and milestone-tied. The BBB complaint pile is mostly contracts, cancellations, and deposits — this card is that pile, read in advance.

Guest-facing change inside T-14 — dress code
AUTO-NOTICE RULE

Sangeet dress code edited 11 days out. Guests who bought outfits off the old one deserve to hear it from you, not from the group chat. Scoped notice drafted to 212 attending — cap-exempt: it's a correction, not a message.

RSVP chase log — the etiquette fight, pre-settled
3 ATTEMPTS LOGGED BEFORE ANY AUTO-"NO"

Sharma household: WhatsApp Jul 2 (delivered), WhatsApp Jul 16 (delivered), call task completed Jul 23 (no answer). If they text "can't wait to see you" in October, the record answers so you don't have to.
