The fancier ones that you have chosen will always be more expensive. If you're looking for cheap and cheerful I suggest using the plain ones. Try the dollar store or wait until around the holidays. Try the Christmas tree store too if there's on in your area

Dollar tree was an option. However, I wasn't aware that if purchased and stored that could chip

Contact you local rental company instead of buying will save you a lot of money.

I rented mine from our linen company and they were $1/piece. My opinion was that I didn't want 200 pink chargers, less to bring and clean.

Instead of chargers do lace doiles. I spent about 20 bucks for 200

Where did you purchase them @OG Ashley G?

@OG Ashley G - those look so pretty!

Try Oriental Trading! Best website for any kind of party supplies

I love the lace doilies!! I was going to do that until I ran up on a wedding event planner that had just gotten married on a FB wedding yard sale page. I scored 180 for $90. Etsy has some (doilies) that are a cardboard version that are inexpensive too but a little sturdier than paper ones.

Or just skip it. For me it would have added tables as there wasn't enough room to have 10 ppl per table with chargers, glasses and silverware.

I'm renting mine too. $1 each.

You can check out goodwill and other thrift stores. That's what I did brought them in any color they had hit stores for 3 days straight until I could not find anymore. I found 120 and I spray painted them gold and found the same style at my local dollar store for 1.00 . at the thrift stores I paid 0.25-0.50 per plate..
