Empty Champagne Bottles

Katie,

Try calling local-area hotels or resturants and asking them if you can have their empty champagne bottles. Most places simply put them all in a recycling bin and put them out with the rest of the recyclables.

If you talked to the manager I bet you`d easily be able to get as many as you want free. Obviously you`d need to clean them out really well -- but you could use them again. You could even take the champagne label off and have a new one made up for the couple getting married. It could be really neat.

Good luck.
