I don't know any of your details, but if linen rental is in the picture, please don't! This is the first anniversary of our older daughter's wedding, and we were able to purchase banquet chair covers for a fraction of the cost of renting them. Two of her cousins have used them in the last year, and I will probably try to sell them as soon as they are returned.
Our other daughter is getting married in 13 days. I was able to save about $8 per tablecloth by purchasing them, the bride is less anxious because she KNOWS they are here and the right color, and I will either sell or contribute them to a church when we are done. Win-win-win!
The trick is to do it all online--free shipping for "large" orders! Have them shipped to someone near the wedding.
We have done cupcakes as well for several showers--That time in our lives--you can use cake mix, substitute milk for water, butter for oil, and add one extra egg to make them tastier. I freeze them beforehand and thaw just before decorating with a piping bag to cut down on the last-minute prep. |
