Shoot... You don't need a cash box... If they buy ten dollars worth and only have a twenty... help them spend the rest! hehe Grin

My,my,my looks like your set...I take lots of ones as people have a habit of bringing..large bills..
Next to the resale certicate..If you have worked the tax into the price of your candles/products..You need a sign that reads Tax included in price..Both the sales tax certicate and this should be in plan visual site of the buyer..We had the Tax controllers office checking this at a show...and those that had theres in there money box..got fined..HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ONE AND ALL....cameobath

I always forget my sign. Kinko's has a 50% off sale periodically and you can get a big sign (36 x 24) made for about $30 on sale. I hang this on the table cloth on the front of my table.

Good Luck!

Providing everything works as planned, there is a craft show coming up in October that I would like to go to. Being that this will be my first one, would anyone be willing to give me a check list of stuff I might need? Other than my candles and stuff that I plan to bring, I know I will need: change, bags, boxes, business cards, brochures (if I can get any made!), table covering, possibly a table. What am I missing? Undecided

I know there has to be more than this!

Don't forget the money bag & plenty of singles (smile); business cards; water & food unless you intend to buy from the show planners.
If you have an apron with pockets, that's very handy for holding your business cards and change purse.

One thing I was running out of this year was bags. Small bags for votives and large one for jars, even larger ones for the bears. Just hit all stores near me and got next years supply. I got the pretty foil ones for 20 cents and the paper ones for 10 cents.
