tent update!

According to a woman I spoke to at wallace tents in Ellsworth, I can get the following things for my ceremony and reception for around 3,100 dollars. (Also, the 3,100 includes 8% for insurance, $110 dollars for transportation of everything to and from Ellsworth, and the set-up and break-down of all the components.)

- A tent big enough for 150 people to eat and dance
- 19 square tables that each sit 8 people
- Linens for all the tables
- 150 chairs
- 5 strings of small white lights
- 12 large white globe lights

I could also order a dance floor from that place as well, but it would be an additional 700 dollars. Mom thinks we could find a floor cheaper than that. I think we can just dance on the grass :)

Also, I can cut some costs with the tables too. I really wanted square tables because I like them better than round ones, but if it'll save a few hundred bucks, I can be flexible.

Another bonus is that we'll actually have enough left over to be able to do dinner instead of just hors d'oeuvres for the reception, which is what I was hoping. We still need to budget for flowers and a photographer and someone to perform the ceremony and all that too, but there's still lots of time to figure that out.
