OK. I realize that probably no one has ever even thought about this, but I was wondering if anyone had any idea how long plate chargers last. (The cheap acrylic kindf they sell at Christmas Tree Shop).I was able to purchase enought for our June wedding and now need a place for them. As a gesture to being so kind and wonderful to us during this time, I have told our venue coordinator that he can have them after our wedding. (I originally planned on ordering them).Since I got such a great deal on them, and I had the money, I bought them now. But now hav eto find a place to keep them for 8 months. Does anyone have any idea how many uses you usually get out of chargers before the paint wears off? Like if I gave them to our coordinator now, would they still look good by time our wedding came around? (I realize I couldn't ask him to hold them without using them). The venue has gold chargers, but I wanted red. So I bought red, and most people who buy charger for their homes might use them 3 times a year, instead of 3 times in a weekend like a catering hall could. So does anyone know how many uses you are expected to get out of chargers? (AKA How many uses until the paint wears off?) Thanks!
