Question by Renee: Folding Metal Chairs at Reception?
We found a nice banquet hall for our wedding reception. The only problem is they only provide folding beige metal chairs. We are on a budget, so renting chairs will be a stretch for us. I’m just wondering if anyone else used this type of chair for thier wedding. Or if you attending a wedding with these chairs before.

My family told me to relax b/c no one but me really cares. I just need your opinion on this.
awww it’s a way to get more money out of us. My sister called the hall for me. They provide folding white chairs for $ 2 each. Very sneaky…..

go there and see the room with the chairs set up for an actual wedding and see how visible they really are. they will lend a casual air to your event so if you are looking for a formal feel this is not it. because they are smaller than rental chairs. take a tape measure and measure them and then go to a rental place and do the same and see what the difference really is.

i have gone to many things with the white folding rental chairs. they seem fine. again, see what they actually look like when the room is set up, they may disappear and not be an issue.

Question by homemom: How to economically cover/decorate folding chairs for a wedding reception?
My daughter’s having a TX BBQ wedding reception (so it’ll definitely be more casual), and wishes to keep costs down. Suggestions on how to cover and/or decorate all the guests’ folding metal chairs economically would be greatly appreciated. There will probably be 100+ people in attendance, and I work full-time, so sewing custom covers is out of the question. Renting/buying the covers is quite costly, but they need SOMETHING on the chairs. I’m thinking there must be some attractive way of draping them with fabric and tying it, but don’t know how to proceed. The tables are rectangular and we’ll need to coordinate with table linens as well–suggestions there are likewise appreciated.

You could get white (or some color that coordinates with the other colors in the wedding, maybe do the wedding party chairs in white) and simply wrap it over the top of the chairs, bring it around the sides, gather it in the back and tie a big bow. For the wedding party, if you want to make them a little fancier you could add flowers to the bow. Good luck!

Question by RIL: help! chair rental dilemma for wedding reception?
I have the hall for my wedding reception booked. it was a great price for the location, unfortunetly the chairs provided by the lodge are an eye sore! this is the place:http://www.laparks.org/dos/reservations/grace_photoalbum.htm
I’m having a summer wedding, my dress is ivory and the bridesmaids will be wearing yellow. A friend suggested renting chair covers w/sashes but the prices are ridiculous! We’re expecting 150 guests and the most affordable rate so far is .75 per chair…crazy right?!! Another friend suggested renting wood folding padded chairs. It is more cost effective however, now it comes down to choosing a color. The tables will be covered with floor lenght ivory silk linens. These chairs are available in white and natural wood, i’m not sure what would look best! Would it look tacky to use these for an indoor reception?

Any ideas on how to give these chairs an elegant touch yet affordable?

I wouldnt use the wooden chairs indoors. They arent the most comfortable of things to start with…plus they’re folding (how many of those wedding candid camera clips involve folding chairs?!) I dont think they will achieve the look.

Try Speaking to the chair cover people and hagling for a large booking discount… you’re ordering 150 of them…surely they could knock a lil off
