Opinion, Please

We are using the nice real like plastic tableware for our buffet dinner. I have no problem eating off plastic but I am unsure about drinking wine and champagne from plastic. Anybody used plastic drinkware for wine and champagne?

We are using what our venue has but I personally wouldn't have a problem with using plastic. I think the only potential issue is the cup breaking if they squeeze it or something? Though glass would probably break if they dropped it, so that's not a huge difference. Are you thinking of doing the "nicer" plastic champagne type glasses or like, red Solo cups? That would make a difference.

If I decide to go with plastic, I have the one piece nicer glasses in mind. It is cheaper to rent the glasses for .35 a glass vs. buying the nicer plastic ones but I can't determine if that will look weird to have real barware yet plastic plates and silverware. Who knew wedding planning would be so tedious...FI thinks I'm overthinking but he is just being a guy lol.

Haha I totally understand, I am the queen of overthinking! I see what you mean about the two looking funny together. To be totally honest, as a guest, I would probably notice the difference but wouldn't really care. It would be one of those momentary "oh hey, that's different" and then I'd move on. It's kinda up to you and what's more important - saving some money or having everything look "uniform". If it were me, I'd probably go with the cheaper option, but then again saving money on something like that is more important than how it looks. But that's just me!

Thanks for your response! I think I will notice too but not really care. Personally, I actually prefer drinking my alcohol out of a glass. So, I think I will be renting barware : )

 

(Silly) Question... How do I add a picture to my signature? I have a hairstyle I want to share.

I have it posted in the siggy challenge thread but I'll repost it for you!

-Upload your photo to tinypic.com.

-Resize it (I did the "website/email" one but play with it to make sure it's not huge!).

-Copy the "html for websites" code (ex. "<a href ="<a rel="nofollow" href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=16a4nkx">http://tinypic.com?ref=16a4nkx"</a> target="_blank" /><img src="http: //i39.tinypic.com/16a4nkx.jpg " border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" /></a />" minus the quotes on the outside and the random spaces I threw in. BTW this is one of those sample pics on my computer so if you want some penguins.. lol).

-Paste it into the "edit my message board signature" on The Knot (if you need to know how to get here it's My Knot at the top, then My Bio, then edit my avatar & sig).

-Done!

Thanks a lot!

I don't think it would look weird. Plastic drinkware is fine too, especially if you're up and moving around. I'm sure no one will mind either way.

We will be renting glasses and silverware...I was thinking of using a really nice plastic, but then we decided against it because I am a wedding photographer, and I know the plastic will look "plastic" when photographed...
