Chair covers

Ruth, on September 19, 2020 at 4:17 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 17
Help ! My venue provide chairs and tables but the chairs are nasty looking how would I use spandex chair covers without it looking cheap? Renting chairs is out of budget (way too expensive) thank you!

    From a guest perspective, just use chairs as is. I attended a couple weddings that used spandex covers on regular shaped chairs and most guests had to readjust the covers throughout the event, myself included.

    Hi Jana! The issue is that they are dirty. Most ppl rent chairs in that venue, but Ive been quoted $7 per chair. Thats way out budget for me. 😩

    I can tell you as a guest, I would pay little attention to the chairs. It just doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. If you have an attractive table, nobody will pay attention to the chairs. I would rather sit in an ugly chair than have to be constantly fussing with a shifting cover!

    Keep looking if you can..contact local party rental businesses. Try Thumbtack.com. $7/chair is too much.

    Hmm it could be the fabric choice. Steaming them shouldn't be an issue.

    Honestly, as a guest I wouldn’t care about how they look. As long as they aren’t going to stain clothes, everyone should be fine. But you you really want to get covers, I’d look at a party rental place

    I don’t think those chairs look awful. I wouldn’t care about them as a guest.

    Have you been to a lot of weddings? If so, how well do you remember the chairs? Chairs feel important to you, but no one else will care about the way they look. I couldn't describe the chairs from a single wedding I've been to other than my own, and I didn't even think about those while we were actually sitting in them. I would just focus more on the centerpieces/place settings. If people are distracted by what's on the tables, they won't notice the chairs.

    I get that you don't like the chairs, but, honestly, I think chair covers almost always look really odd and they always shift. The stretchy kind don't stay down and straight, so they either look bad or need constant adjustment and the other kind that kind of drape over the chair always make me think of little kids wearing sheets for ghost costumes AND they often result in a lot of loose fabric near the floor that I've seen people trip over.

    The venue chairs will completely blend into the background and once guests are sitting in them they will be invisible. They will also be much less distracting in photos than covered chairs. Good luck! Smiley heart

    I think it’s more of a preference as a guest I’ve never cared about the chairs. But I myself I want spandex chair covers for my wedding the chairs at our venue are way worse than yours. This is a picture of a friends wedding who just had them and they were nicely fitted on chairs.

    Our Venue Wanted To Charge Us $4 Per Chair Cover. Definitely Not Happening! So I Bought My Own Spandex Covers From efavormart For Cheap. Spandex Covers Dont Look Cheap At All, Especially With Sashes Added.

    Thank you! Yes I am thinking chair covers just like those are going to have to do. Rather those than dirty chairs.
