Activity for Samantha

I'm contemplating to save money or save the hassle of setting up plates/napkins/glasses. Our cater is charging $3.95 a person for Imitation China that comes with everything and will include them setting it up. Amazon also has the same set up...

After the ceremony, our guests will be going to a garden area that will have an open bar. Should we provide appetizers in the garden or just wait for dinner? Thanks everyone
