I found these metal candleholders online that I really like. But there are a few dilemmas with them.
1. I won't know the final guest count for a few months. If enough people say they can't make it, then it will change the number of centerpieces I need. I'm thinking that I should just plan for the maximum (which is 16), and then if I don't need 2 or 3, just try to sell them or something.
2. They only have 6 in stock right now. I can't decide if I should just order all of them and hope they get more in time for me to order the rest before August, or if I should just try to find something else.
3. They ship from California, and I'm in Massachusetts. So not only is that extra costs in shipping, that's also time spent waiting for it to arrive (this is more imminent if they don't restock enough of them before August).
Should I just order them in batches? Or should I try to look for something else?
If I look somewhere else, I don't know where to go. I'm going for a garden feel, and I wanted some metal structure (or metal-looking structure) that I could wrap fake leaves and plants around. It doesn't have to be a candle holder--that's just what I happened to find that I liked.
Also, I might cross post this!
