So we're doing 3 active food stations for our wedding:
1. Beef tenderloin with potatoes and green beans
2. Pasta Station
3. Grilled cheese and soup station
Our caterer informed us we'll have to get at least 3 plates per person and 1 bowl per person, assuming everyone will go up to the stations at least 1 time. I'm happy to rent all these plates but there's going to be upwards of 180 guest so roughly 4 rental plates per person puts us at having almost 800 rented plates.
I thought about renting nice plates for the table to act more as a "charger" for the aesthetic I'm going for, and then getting "fancier," clear plastic plates/bowls for the stations to cut down on the cost and volume of the rented ceramic plates.
I'm not sure if that will be weird since we're doing so much with all the food for our wedding and it's a big part of the guest experience. I know most people won't care but wanted to hear others opinions on this. Should I go the route I'm thinking or just get all ceramic plates?
Thank you!!
