Killing a few birds, as they say --Best price on champagne glasses and reception stuff: Wedding Plans

(I wrote this post in late April, 2013 and forgot to publish it.)

On Friday night we dropped off both kids with the other parents and stopped a few places to gather things for the wedding reception.

First we swung by a house in the Green Lake area to pick up some reception decor stuff that I found on Craigslist. They are galvanized French buckets that I will use for flower arrangements. I got six of them.

Stuff in the trunk, we set off to find food. As we drove along Green Lake, we came upon Duke's. It's pretty famous for clam chowder. I'm not very famous for eating it, but Chuck really likes it. I knew I would find something on the menu.

There really were Crabby Patties on the menu. I have to tell Sean when I see him.
I chose the crab melt. Delicious.

Once we had our fill, we moved on to Ikea, where we found the champagne glasses for our reception. They were the least expensive glasses I could find anywhere, including Dollar Tree. They aren't anything fancy, but we don't care about fancy. We just wanted to have enough for everyone, and in this case we preferred buying rather than renting. We scored 100 glasses for, I believe, about $86.

We do entertain a few times a year, and we can use these again.
