Does Buc-ees cater weddings?
Mia, on June 14, 2021 at 9:31 PM

Seating chart poster or escort cards
Richaelyn, on June 5, 2021 at 11:26 AM

Which one do y’all think would be easier for guests but still budget friendly for the couple? A seating chart poster or escort cards? I’m doing only assigned table seating.
