I really love the look of glassware, silverware, place settings with chargers and plates. Our guest count will be no more than 75. My caterer only does one use plates, cups, and silverware. I Guess Im asking is it worth the expenses to buy it myself or should I just use disposable? Is using disposable tacky these days?
What I'm working with: So we are planning to be partially catered and we are doing a buffet style menue. IE a caterer will deliver and set up but we will be responsible for clean up. I will have a co-worker friend (paid of course) to clean up as the reception goes on. I though at first this was tacky BUT I work in food service and it kind of what we do. For the caterer to stay it was going to be an additional $850. Id rather pay a co worker that could use the money to do it instead. Also the caterer we have choose would do disposeable plates/ utensils. But as you can see this adds the added issue of what to do with the dishes after the reception?
Whats yalls opinion? Am I over thinking? I'm not trying to spend an arm and leg on a one time event.
