I just found out that my wedding coordinater doesn't include the china for the wedding - I'm glad I found this out now. She suggested that we buy clear plastic plates since it is a buffet style serving at the reception. It doesn't sound too bad to me, but at the same time something tells me to find a place to rent dishes from. The wedding will be in December, so it will be inside. If it was going to be outside and casual I wouldn't have this issue, but because it is inside and semi-formal I'm at a loss. The rentals are looking like they're going to cost anywhere from $200-400 atleast! And since the FI and I are paying for everything I don't know if that will fit into our budget. So plastic China tacky or okay? Our colors include silver so maybe if I found plates with silver in them... Does anyone know where we can get some nice throw away plates that at least look like they're not tacky?
Thank you for the help in advance.
