Common mistakes to avoid

Sending vague reminders

Include date, time, location, and the action the guest should take next.

Waiting until the last minute

Waivers, pickup instructions, and parking notes work better before the guest is already on the way.

Forgetting the review moment

Ask soon after the experience while the memory is fresh and the guest is still excited.
