A JOURNAL CHAPTER
Timing & assembly

Production time plus transit is not a guaranteed arrival date
A fast shipping option does not erase a custom product’s production stage.

The venue’s handoff deadline can be earlier than the wedding date
Delivery to a home and ready-to-place favors are different milestones.

Build a component checklist before calling a favor complete
Gift,container,closure,tag and assembly can be separate purchase lines.

Seat placement and a pickup table need different distribution instructions
A correct quantity does not establish how favors will be handed out.

Transport complete favors with the component count still visible
A spare box or tag cannot replace a missing finished gift.
