Can I be a drama queen for a second?

Darn it, Im soooo mad. You know how every bride has the one thing that she always wanted at her wedding reception? Well I have two things. The lil chocolate cups for the cordials (which I have) and pretty chair covers. I just called my reception hall and inquired about who they recommend and she said because the chairs are oversized, it usually runs about $8 a person.

Not only can I not afford that, but its difficult trying to find that size in the first place. BOOHOO!!!!

Re: Can I be a drama queen for a second?

I'm so on the side of making them! They are very easy to make from what I hear. I'm not much of a sewer, but I would help if needed!

Re: Can I be a drama queen for a second?

I personally think they add so much to a room. I am not going to do them because I just started to see them recently and I am not in love with them...it is not on my list of must have's but I think they are so gorgeous!!!!
In all the magazines I open they are on all the chairs and they are just a decoration, but they are really nice. JMO

Re: Can I be a drama queen for a second?

Oops, sorry I had to actually work for a hot minute, but Im back. Thanks for the sympathy. Ya, I know Im making a big deal about the chairs, but I really like the way it looks. Gives an air of elegance, if I must say. I seriously had my heart set on them, but with all the added expense, I just cant afford it. At least I stil have my chocolate cups (even though I am a diabetic

) The chocolate cups are thumbsized cups that you fill with a cordial (my fav is kalhua or irish cream) then down it like a shot and eat the cup.MMMMMMMMM!!!

Re: Can I be a drama queen for a second?

So sorry to hear that. Just a suggestion, but it might be worth calling around. You said in your message that you asked your hall who they recommend and they said it's $8 per chair. Do you think a place that is not affiliated with your hall would have a better price?

Re: Can I be a drama queen for a second?

I've also seen ones online for like 2 bucks a chair. You have to look around.

Re: Can I be a drama queen for a second?

I like the way the chair covers look.
and I was complaining about $5.00 a chair.
Guess that's not so bad compared to the $8.00

Well you do have plenty of time to make them if you needed.
I don' t so I will stick with the plain chairs.
