When I got married, no one in my family had a lot of money, so we opted to try to do everything ourselves. We were able to secure the local American Legion hall for our reception, but they didn’t have enough chairs. We tried to borrow chairs from family and friends, but that didn’t work, so we did some research and found that we could either rent or buy folding chairs for the event. Because we were just starting out, we thought it would be a good idea to own some of our own folding chairs, so we were able to work a great deal through our local party supplier. For every twelve folding chairs that we rented, they would throw in thirteen. We would be able to keep that extra folding chair at the end of the event. So we rented twelve dozen chairs, 144 altogether, and at the end of the night, they picked up 132 and let us keep twelve. It was a great deal and a really nice way to start off our life together. So now, whenever we have dinner parties at our house, we have enough seating, thanks to the folding chairs we got as part of our reception deal.
