Candle Holder 99c ea
I refuse to pay to hire Plates/Glasses REFUSE
Plates cost 55c each to hire, Glasses are 55c and Wine Glasses are 70c
WHAT IS THE POINT!?
-
BF#1 has sourced $8k for the wedding
I was starting to get VERY stressed awaiting our pays to come through to purchase items.
This will not happy anymore
I can start buying larger bulk items next week (Thankfully)

Thoughts - Can you see the paper napkins above...... They are only $3.99 for 50.
Fabric white napkins are 4 for $3.99, let's just say $1 each x 120 ppl = $120.
An extra $110.
Am I crazy for wanting the fabric ones even though we are having a PIZZA reception!?

If you want cloth napkins why dont you make them? You can pick up some fabric you like, do a bit of sewing, just hem them up. If you need a hand its right up my alley. You could then coordinate with the photo booth fabric.

Would you use the fabric ones again? If no then dont do it.

If you can find a cheaper way to do it as mentioned above^^^ then do that.

Otherwise go the paper.

If unsure leave it till last and buy the linen ones if your budget allows you to.

I ♥ IKEA. I found the best tumbnlers in there the other day and Jase wouldn't let me buy them. Since then the next closest thing(not even half as good as these) were $15 each! My tumblers were like 6 for $6 or something. Must return.
