Chair Covers, Sashes, and Linens

Well, I just read an interesting blog post about buying instead of renting the linens for the reception, and I have a few tips to put on here. First of all, who knew that there was such a website as wholesaleweddingchaircovers.com? Or that it might be cheaper to buy your tablecloths and napkins (the couple mentioned in the blog looked on Ebay and at the prices in the online stores to find the best deals) than to rent them?

 Here is the link to the wholesale chair covers website, and here is the link to a website that sells sashes, bows, and also some chair covers (the sashes being to jazz up the otherwise plain chair covers, one would assume).

I would like to say, however, that most people on the website said this, in so many words: "No one cares once the reception has started, what the chairs look like. Everyone is much more interested in the food, etc."

I suppose, if need be, and you feel really self conscious about it, get nice chairs for the wedding party table, and let everyone else just have whatever chairs are available. They'll mostly be looking at you anyway.
