First Big Goof

Meghan, on July 10, 2019 at 10:43 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 5

Wedding planning had been going so smoothly, I guess it's inevitable that something would go wrong eventually! I ordered all of our tableware a couple of weeks ago (wanted to make sure I got nice, biodegradable disposables) and it all arrived last week at my parents' house. Yesterday when I was over they were like, "what are those small little bowls for?" And I was like, "I don't know what you're talking about, I didn't order any small little bowls..." I go look over everything - it's the plates I ordered for cocktail hour! They looked like they'd be big enough online but in person they were tiny! Definitely not suitable for cocktail hour. So I have to return them and eat like, $35 because of the return policy, as well as order new plates. But luckily what I'm getting back will cover new ones at least.

I guess my advice from my goof would be - check sizes and don't believe pictures online!

    Could you sell the plates on Facebook Marketplace? Then you could at least recoup some of the money and not have to pay return shipping.

    I hate when pictures look misleading online! It doesn’t help that they tend to hide dimensions in product details and you have to expand usually to see them!

    I might have been able to, but I already started the return process. I didn't think of that. I doubt I could have sold them for full price anyway though, it probably would have ended up being about the same.

    I think I was also a bit frazzled at the time of ordering because the original plates I wanted for dinner were out of stock so I had to already pick something else for those.

    I'm just glad the heart-shaped plates I wanted for dessert were still in stock and are the correct size!
