Vendors not cashing checks.

Yeah I'd ask if she knew when she'd cash them. I mean its common courtesy to chash checks ASAP unless they are post dated. I mean... I would!? Especially if I was a MUA and that could go toward bills or something. She could just be busy but that is a long time to make them just sit there.

Do you not deduct the check from your running balance when you write it? If so, you know what your bank balance is and are in no danger of overspending.

I would politely email them, and ask them to cash it. I had to do that for the deposit on my venue. People forget

I don't have a check book, but I have a checking account I have been using just for wedding stuff.

I cant speak for how the other BM manager their bills.

Checks are seriously the worst. The fact they are still being used is infuriating to me - online payments are so much easier. Checks take forever to mail, bank is never open during non-business hours so it's so inconvenient to cash them, then they take 100 years to clear.

When I was searching for vendors, being able to pay via PayPal or something online was one of the things I required before hiring.

I would send her a message and ask her to cash them, as it's messing up your budget at a quick glance and aint nobody got time for dat when you're paying wedding vendors left and right. Maybe even ask if she would prefer PayPal so you can cancel the stupid checks.

I feel like checks got better with online apps.

I never deposit checks at the bank, I can take a picture with my phone and it will be deposited in one business dya.

Yeah, that feature is probably one of the best inventions, but sadly not every bank has it. I use a small local bank (because big banks charge you fees for everything) and they JUST updated their app with the check deposit feature about 2 months ago.

Man I would be like "it's been a while since I sent you my check and it has not been deducted from my account. I'm sorry but I had other vendors to pay, so i advise you not to cash that check. It will bounce." 😂😂😂
