We might be going with a more casual caterer and in a casual or potentially formal (though seaside) venue.
If we go with the non-wedding caterer, we will likely hire a bar company that will bring the glasses, and handle all of that in their costs.
But if we go with our casual caterer...they don't do weddings often, so there won't be the reusable china on hand to use. We'd have to rent (another contract, another vendor, more people to pay to do the job), bring them ourselves (we're DIYing enough of the clean up as it is), or use disposables.
Does anybody have any suggestios for affordable disposable cutlery, plate, napkins...that aren't necessarily fancy but are on the classy side of disposables?
Made in the USA, sustainable, compostable are all eco-strategies that would help; I don't even know if the compostables will help because I don't think the town we are marrying in has a compost program.

We are using worldcentric.org
We are hoping our wedding will be zero-waste, 250 ppl cake plates, and silverware included just less than $300.00.
Hope this has helped!!

I just discovered www.greenpartygoods.com and am liking the bamboo biodegradable plates as well as the bamboo cutlery.
Thanks for the other sites, too!

Bamboo cutlery makes me worried about splinters...  I have to second worldcentric.org. They have the cheapest compostable plates I've found so far - 13 cents a plate for 9" and 8.5 cents a plate for 7". We live in the middle of nowhere, though, so I'm a little concerned about how we're going to get them to a commercial composter. I'll probably try to convince one of my parents or relatives who live in a bigger city to drop them off when they drive home. Also check out http://www.superbiodegradablecutlery.com. GREAT prices ($24 for 500 forks, etc.) and the best part is, the utensils are supposed to biodegrade in the landfill! They also have 9" plates (landfill biodegradable), but they're a little bit costlier at $109 for 500. Still not bad though.

Worldcentric.org looks great, especially since our wedding is smaller and we don't need a pack of 500 of anything.my bottom lines is, If anything is more expensive than 50cents/ea, then it's cheaper to just rent it from the party people (which is also eco, bc it's reusing!!!) |

I just received my cutlery from sustyparty.com. They sell sets of FSC certified wood cutlery and it's not that expensive. I checked it for splinters too...so far, looks good! :D
