I have thought about it and thought about it some more. I started to research rentals and thought about it again. After a long car ride to Maine and back the decision was made. We are going to thrift our dinner and dessert plates and possibly the glasses. Cutlery is still up in the air. The decision was made for a few reasons

1. Aesthetically speaking, we like the vintage, I just-pulled-this-out-of-cupboard, nothing quite matches look.

2. Our wedding reception is most likely going to be held under a tent. Tents are pricey and so is everything that needs to go under it. If we stick to the plan of only purchasing items that are less then renting them, we are in business. Plus, after the wedding we can resell what we no longer want. Cannot do that with a rental…

3. It is sustainable. Granted rentals are too, but these will have some character!

4. Rich and I love any reason to visit the many Salvation Army stores in the area. Plus it is yard/garage sale season. Perfect!

This is going to take some work, we fully understand. Free moments will be spent searching for plates. Days will be spent taking off price stickers and washing them. It is going to take some thought to figure out what plates will go on what table. Clean up will be a bit tricky…but can be done. As you can tell by the photos, other couples have done the same including Lena Corwin, A Backyard Wedding, and Big Sur Wedding.

So. We are going for it!
