Wicker / Rattan Chargers- Has anyone seen good deals?

never heard of it, but its worth a shot!

I know you're looking for round, but I found rectangular placemats for $2 each on this site - maybe they would do a discount for a large order? They have a lot of nice options... the inexpensive one is the Pandan Placemat.

 

Murni's in Bali - Online Shop - Placemats

 

These are from Ikea - first is $0.99, second is $1.99.

 

 

 

Hope that helps!

Thanks, but I’m looking for the round ones. I don’t think I can fit 10 on a round table. I was thinking of getting the Ikea ones and some how staining them, but again, I don’t think I can fit 10. I do keep checking Ikea out hoping that they get round ones in.

Well, these are about the same price, but it's a free-trade store, and they have awesome stuff. $3.75/plate Handmade Charger Plate from Philippines || Fair Trade Handicrafts from Ten Thousand Villages

 

I would also check www.thehungersite.com. They don't have anything like that now, but it seems like something they would carry. They are also free-trade.

You should try Pier 1. I saw this online: SeenON! Style - Pier 1 Imports Round Rattan Placemat

 

But when I went to the website, it said they no longer offer online shopping. Try calling them to see what they charge.

Do you have a World Market near you? They sometimes have really cool stuff to dress up table settings.

yikes!! First of all, you're expecting 175 people

 

secondly, have you considered how difficult it's going to be to transport them?

 

I mean, don't get me wrong. it's a fabulous look, but if you have to buy 175 even at $2 each + dragging them down there... whoa.

that's a lot of work!!

 

I am sorry, I don't have any referrals for where to find them :/

I haven't tried them.. thanks!

We do, I've never been in one, but I'll stop by.

Our preliminary RSVP response is about 180, so I do expect between 150-125.

I have family who travel often to Mexico (some drive) so we plan so send some stuff with them. They are about a 4 hour drive away from PV most will make the drive.

If I find a great deal, then I'll purchase them, if not, I'll beed to think of something else.

I've even thought of contact some WC's in PV to see if they'd want to buy them from me after the wedding.

I did see them there, but they are too expensive (about $11 each I think)

Wow, your wedding is going to be bigger than mine!!!

Good luck!

 

I will say that if your wedding is anything like ours was, people won't even notice the table decor. they will be far too busy drinking, dancing and socializing. So I wouldn't drive yourself crazy trying to find them.

 

Nonetheless, I love your ideas. your wedding is going to be fab!
