Hello knotties!!
I am debating whether or not I want to purchase linen napkins wholesale rather than renting them. I am going to have a buffet style meal, but would like to have napkins at the place settings folded with a pocket and inclose a "menu card" in the fold, with a favor box on top.
I am worried that if I rent them, I will not be able to have them folded like I want and I don't see the point in spending $.60 each on RENTING a napkin. True, I won't have to clean them, but I have a large washing machine and I figure if I purchase them, and collect and clean them afterwards, I could potentially sell to recoup some of my money.
I wanted to see if anyone had experience with this, and if you had any thoughts regarding buying / renting napkins. All the table linens already come with the venue, so I would have to rent them separately. Also, if I purchase, I can take time BEFORE the wedding to fold how I'd like them and insert any cards, etc, which wouldn't take very much time to put on the tables.
Plates will be with the food, so I wanted to have the napkins and silverware at the place settings to distingush each seat, along with the favor box. I am looking at around 200 for my reception.
THANK YOU so much for all your help!
