Question by : has anyone used banquet roll on round tables?
i have 33 round tables and 15 rectangle to cover at my wedding. i dont want to hire table cloths as i wud prefer disposable. how can i cover these without spending too much?
i have seen plastic table covers whic are an opion.
any ideas?
Best answer:
Answer by Jenny Lynne
Use the banquet roll on the rectangle and I would invest in the plastic table covers for rounds. To me there is no pretty way to use the banquet roll on round tables. If you can afford, get plastic for round. You can always put some tulle in the center around your centerpiece and cover some of the plastic to make it look more elegant if you have one on each table. Tulle is relatively inexpensive.

Question by Christina: Anyone know where I can get a stamped tablecloth?
I’m in need of a stamped table cloth that’s at least 104″ in length. I’d prefer the design to be something floral or with birds or butterflies or both. I have searched on Ebay and cannot find anything. I have no found anything online either. I am currently living overseas so I cannot go downtown and pick on up where I am. Just curious to know if anyone knew of a place online I could find one. Thanks!
I mean a stamped tablecloth for embroidering.

Answer by theglobalmachine
I’m not sure but I can offer two substitutes. First, you need to go out and buy a regular table cloth. Next, you can either go to the post office and buy a pile of stamps or go to Office Depot or Staples and buy some ink stamps. After you have your preferred type of stamps, you can then proceed to either stick them all over your table cloth or use your ink pads to ink stamp your entire table cloth! How’s that?!

Question by Beverley C: Anyone set up in business hiring out wedding chair / table covers & decorations? Have you found it profitable?
I’m planning doing so, renting the chair covers and linen etc but selling the decorations. Are brides interested in using small local retailers for this service?
Best answer:
Answer by jsawgirl
They aren’t using local retailers but the majority hold their receptions at hotels, clubs, and other venues that provide all those things for them. and they often hire someone to decorate often except for flowers the decorations are also rented.
The trend these days also is to keep the costs down and the wedding small. if you only want to specialize in weddings you may have difficulty making ends meet. you would also have to deliver, wash, pick-up, and maintain your rental equip. Most rental businesses also rent things like glass ware, dishes, serving equip, and anything that would be needed for parties. you also have to have a large inventory to cover big events and a place to keep them. people also want to see them and you need a showroom. Check and see what other rental companies in your area charge and do some rough estimating to see how much you must rent monthly to make a profit.

Question by Maritime Mummy to 2 Little Imps!: Has anyone used a cloth “booster” seat for at the table? Daughter only wants to eat sitting in a big chair…?
She’s almost 19 months and done with her high chair…understandably so…but I also can’t get her to eat sitting in a booster seat, either.
She does SO well eating sitting right on a full-sized chair at the table. The table is low enough that she doesn’t need any extra height under her to eat. My problem is that I’m too terrified she’s going to fall off the chair, and she is too independent to let me hold on to her, she swats me away and gets grumpy.
So I’m wondering, has anyone used these things? http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.69234359.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php%3Flisting_id%3D22563922&usg=__sjfIvpdSohC-XSVkmWJ4Fk8IxJc=&h=1284&w=1500&sz=395&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=7MBvko_aSnhH8M:&tbnh=127&tbnw=151&ei=gpF-TY6rLIyzhAfYnIm2Bw&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcloth%2Bbooster%2Bseats%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26biw%3D1024%26bih%3D412%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=451&vpy=76&dur=477&hovh=129&hovw=151&tx=159&ty=83&oei=bpF-TcDSOcmHrgHaipH3CA&page=1&ndsp=10&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0 They look kind of silly to me, but anything to help keep her from falling would be okay by me!
The picture came from an old listing on Etsy, but I can’t find anything else like it or any other place that sells it. Any suggestions (if that is, it’s even worth my while getting?)

Question by beckaj5446: Has anyone or does anyone know somebody that has been married at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado?
I really want to get married there, but I would like to do some research before I call them. I wanted to know if it was enjoyable as a wedding site and if it would be fitting for a wedding of about 75 people. My fiance and I are HUGE music fans and this seems like the perfect place. How much was the total cost for the venue (including food), were linens/tables/chairs included in the price, how many people were at your wedding, was the food good, did they have an on site planner and were you able to go anywhere in the Amphitheatre to take pictures? thanks for any info and if you have pics that would be great.
I meant the Visitors Center for Red Rocks not the entire amphittheatre. Thanks for the link.

Question by : Does anyone know where I can find purple table runners? ?
We are looking for dark purple table runners for a wedding reception. We have tried looking everywhere and have also considered using ribbon. We need something at a minimum of 6inches wide and long enough to cover the length of 3 tables. If we have to we will splice the fabric together so leth is not necissarily a must. If anyone can help us, we’d very much appreciate it.

The Mayor of the Sister City Talks to the Chamber of Commerce in Klamath Falls, Oregon on a night in December in 1976
Michael Martone
“It was after the raid on Tokyo. We children were told to collect scraps of cloth. Anything we could find. We picked over the countryside; we stripped the scarecrows. I remember this remnant from my sister’s obi. Red silk suns bounced like balls. And these patches were quilted together by the women in the prefecture. The seams were waxed as if to make the stitches rainproof. Instead they held air, gasses, and the rags billowed out into balloons, the heavy heads of crysanthemums. The balloons bobbed as the soldiers attached the bombs. And then they rose up to the high wind, so many, like planets, heading into the rising sun and America. . . .”
I had stopped translating before he reached this point. I let his words fly away. It was a luncheon meeting. I looked down at the tables. The white napkins looked like mountain peaks of a range hung with clouds. We were high above them on the stage. I am yonsei, the fourth American generation. Four is an unlucky number in Japan. The old man, the mayor, was trying to say that the world was knit together with threads we could not see, that the wind was a bridge between people. It was a hot day. I told these beat businessmen about children long ago releasing the bright balloons, how they disappeared ages and ages ago. And all of them looked up as if to catch the first sight of the balloons returning to earth, a bright scrap of joy.

Question by : Can anyone suggest things for my 2012 winter wedding?
I am trying to find some ideas for my winter wedding in 2012 but apart from certain styles I like I have no idea what to go with, the thing is I love red gingham fabric, shabby chic style, wooden and ratten hearts and rustic country feel as well as the scandinavian red and white look. I want to combine the things I like without feeling like i have gone over the top. I just don’t know how to put it all together. My only ideas so far are to have all white table linen and napkins and adding a piece of gingham ribbon with a wood heart attached with guests names on but that is as far as I have got. So if anyone has any other ideas on favours, flowers, centrepieces etc I would be grateful. My budget is low that is why I am planning so early, so that i can get ahead with the things that can be purchased early. I am having approx 25 day guests and up to 150 for the evening.
I have decide to just go with the red and white theme keep it simple with red roses, poinsettia, we are just gonna choose what we like and try and put it all together, already choose plain white linen and just small accents of red, i am thinking simpler the better, thanks for the ideas. I do like the idea dump him and go off with zombie must have taken all day to come up with that.
