Thanks!!

That is pretty expensive! Our chair covers are $2.50 each, and we wondered if we should try somewhere else. We went somewhere else and they wre $4 each so we're staying with what we've got lol! We didn't know we had the option of black overlays, but I really loved the black chair covers and we were going to add a white sash to tie them into the white tables. But now we can go without the sash... thank goodness because besides having to tie them by hand to every chair, they would cost an extra $200 ($1.25 each)! The rental place tried to persuade us to use colored napkins at 55 cents each, but we thought what's the point? It will look nice when people walk in, but they'll eat and the napkins will be on their laps, and then they'll get picked up later. We will just use the white ones we get for free!

We are also going to attempt to make our own backdrop for behind the head table. There are lots of instructions online to make them with pvc pipe. I can get some cheap curtains and lights behind it (either little spotlights, or net lights or something). We figure we could make one for under $150, or $200 max and then try to sell it later and make some money back.

I found a backdrop I loved at a rental place and they want $450-600 to rent it for the weekend!! There's no way I'm paying that! Lol. It should be easy enough to duplicate! Here's the one I like... We can tie up the black curtains with teal ribbon to bring in some color.
