Wedding vendors going out-of-business: how to protect your budget!
By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd1. Put all vendor charges, or as much as they allow, onto your credit cards. Should a vendor go out of business, immediately contact the credit card company and tell them of your situation. They may be able to help reduce or eliminate the debt. Consider also contacting the credit companies prior to putting the charges on, as well. Many credit card companies nowadays have strict protection policies that will red-flag or disallow large charges to be put onto the card without proper communication first from the card owner.
