Share Outdoor Wedding/Reception Costs?

Did you purchase the chairs, arches, plants, etc. Or are you renting? I am planning an outdoor wedding at my home, in Santa Clarita, on Aug. 16, 2003 and don`t know if this is to far off from your June event.

We are purchasing or constructing these items, which is the reason we are looking for someone who is interested in the re-purchased. For example we found that we could rent chairs for 1.75 but we are subject to the rental company giving us less than the quality we desire, either a much used folding type or no arm resin type. So we have purchased 200 new resin chairs with arm for $ 2.99 each. Lots of friends/neighbor have stated they will pay us $ 2.00-$2.50 afterwards. We seem to have found others interested in the flatware, but the glasses, arch(s), planters etc, are of interest just to those planning a wedding/reception. Thus, my post on this board.
