Rentals, Decorations, Favors

FIRST, at wedding shows, be sure to pick-up all of the coupons for rentals, regardless of whether you will use them or not. Many coupons allow you to save 20% if you end up renting something.

I found the most reasonable rental place, with the items that I wanted, to be Grand Event Rentals.

Other rental places:
Abbey Party Rents
Pedersens
Alexander Party Rentals
R & R Party Rentals
Choice Linens & Chair Covers‎ -You can also buy chair covers and sashes from http://www.efavormart.com/. Just remember that someone needs to put them on the chairs!
Stellar Event Rentals‎
ABC Rentals-Special Events‎
AA Party Rentals‎

Party City is a good place to buy paper/plastic plates and silverware and decorations.

I ordered vases from HJK IMPORTS http://www.hjkimports.com/
Call 650-952-6188 (ext 2#) and a sales rep will be able to help you with your order.

I had cookie favors, prepared by the caterer, but here is are some other favor ideas.
http://www.photoboothservices.com/ - This idea is AWESOME (props to my BBF Nazik). Place an empty photo book near the booth along with scissors and double back tape and your guests will have a blast leaving you fun pictures and notes. This makes a fantastic guestbook and favor in one!

Michael's is a one stop shop for crafts/activities for kids. If you have a lot of kids, a kids room is a great idea. If you just have a few kids, consider making them little activity bags with coloring kits, stickers, word puzzles, etc. - nothing too messy though.
