Day 8: What day is it???

Friday came and went!  Most of the day was spent running errands, including get my hair did and ironing 20 plus tablecloths!

The rest of the evening was spent setting up for Saturday. 

Just call me the re purpose queen! lol 

I have to admit I love the fact that you can order (and keep) your own linen! We used the same company that we used for the wedding. They have a vast selection of styles and colors and at the time I placed the order for the linen they were an additional percentage off. So it actually came out cheaper than renting! 

The flowers were re purposed from the wedding. The brown lanterns were from Michaels  (again while on sale). And the plates and glasses were courtesy of the Dollar Tree. The gold chargers I have had for years. My dream is to one day have enough chargers to place at every place setting! 

The nameplates should look familiar. Another Dollar tree original. And I had three extra runners that I just tied onto the back of the chairs where the ladies sat at the head table. 

One of church members actually had this lovely set of silverware. It added just the right touch! 

Martinique will be the first to tell you that she folded over 1250 pieces of paper to create the program (which was tech. 250 programs) that were not only created for the luncheon but that will be used in both Sunday services. 

Not bad if I do say so myself!
