Before pickup
Save the event name, customer handoff details, item list, quantities, storage location, and checkout photos before the order leaves your studio, garage, or storage unit.
DecorLoad checklist
Event rental return checklist for missing, dirty, or damaged decor.
For small wedding decor, party prop, backdrop, and soft play rental teams, a clean return record helps keep checkout, pickup, missing-item notes, and damage photos in one place.
During return
Check each item against the original list, then mark it returned, missing, dirty, damaged, or needs follow-up while the handoff is still fresh.
After return
Keep photos and notes attached to the event record, then export a PDF return record for internal review or a customer conversation.
What DecorLoad helps track
Backdrops, arches, centerpieces, candles, linens, signage, soft play pieces, bins, crates, cables, hardware, and any decor item that can come back late, damaged, dirty, or missing.
DecorLoad does not process deposits, provide legal advice, create contracts, or guarantee reimbursement. It is a private iPhone checklist and recordkeeping tool for clearer checkout and return evidence.
Return record structure
Start with the exact checkout list, then keep quantity, condition, missing-item status, damage notes, cleaning notes, photos, and PDF export together under the same event.
Helpful for handoffs
A return record is easier to review than scattered texts, camera roll photos, and memory after a busy weekend. The goal is clearer internal follow-up, not a legal decision.
Important boundary
DecorLoad is not a payment processor, insurance product, legal service, booking system, or customer deposit tool. Always use your own agreement, local rules, and professional advice where needed.
Need a damage photo workflow?
For missing, dirty, or broken pieces, use the event rental damage photo checklist to capture item labels, closeups, return notes, and one PDF handoff record.
