| I am getting married next year and the reception hall we reserved needs some desperate help. The chairs are metal, and no we cannot afford to rent tables or chairs, and the tables are long and rectangular. If anyone has any ideas on how to spruce these up, I would really appreciate it! Thanks! |

| Get tulle fabric and tie bows on the backs of the chairs over the metal part...also with to tables get some table clothes, plastic works. Then spread some flower petals on the table with centerpieces, and it would look great. |

| Hi. I don't know how many you are planning to have at your reception. Depending on the number, and your budget, please get REAL tablecloths (or rent them). It will look so much more elegant than paper or plastic tablecloths. If you cannot afford to...then use the paper....not plastic! So definitely cover the tables. There is not much you can do about the chairs. Really once everyone is seated, it will be fine. Cover the tables and get some nice centerpieces. This can be really easy. I know exactly the tables you are talking about. They are used all the time where I live. The standard banquet table is 96" long, but is only 30" across. So you must remember that people will have a plate, glass, etc. There is not allot of room in the center!I would do 2 centerpieces on each table. Get a small bowl or vase and put in some "vase gems." Then float a candle in it. Place it on a miror and sprinkle some rose petals next to it! Easy, elegant, and affordable!Good luck! |

| Instead of renting tables and chairs you can rent just the tablecloths and chair covers. Instead of white napkins buy colored napkins to match you color scheme. Pre-fold them nicely ahead of time and set them out on the tables to brighten them up. Also make sure you have colorful centerpieces to brighten up the room. Beautiful doesn't have to be expensive.. |

| I would look at chair covers! You can get ones that match your wedding theme. Get the brides magazine there are TONS of different decoration ideas in them. Also I would definitely get table covers to brighten the place up! I would get chair covers too because the metal chairs may be very uncomfortable for people! |
