Linens were something I would have not considered due to the cost but once I saw what my venue looked like with and without I had to have them. I got a quote from the company that my venue rents from and it was about $1600. I started doing some research and round that I could buy them all for about the same price and then I would have the chance to resell them. So I emailed my coordinator yesterday letting her know and asking what other linens I would need besides chair covers, napkins, cake and sweetheart table. I wasn't sure if I needed gift table and reception card table. She called me last night and advised against buying the linens because she had purchased 100 polyester chair covers and it took 16 hours to iron them and another 4 to assemple the bows (I have 250 guests). She stated that she would have to charge me for labor if they had to do that. SO I asked about just purchasing table clothes and napkins because thats where the real price difference was. She said that was fine. She called me about an hour later and asked me for the website I was using. She went on while I was on the phone with her and told me that she had some other brides that might be interested in floor length chocolate linens. She then ordere ALL of the linens I need. I mean EVERYTHING and said that she will take on all of the responsibility and charge me half of what the order was. My new linen total is $775 and I dont' have to iron or assemble a thing. She has been so great to work with and I am SO grateful to have her!
