Need your opinions please ... Is it worth it? Has anyone tried them? I am thinking of doing the tissue paper one, but I'm a little hesitant about it. Was it really cheaper? Was it worth the time and...
Thanks to WW, I am now pro-assigned seating! It makes so much more sense to assign seats so that you don't run the risk of people sitting next to people they don't know, splitting up groups or having...
