I wanted to share in case anyone needs a few last minute items.

I found tablecloths at Big Lots (60 x 120) for 3.50 They had white, gold, red, and green. Cheaper than renting. Cheaper than paper even. I bought about ten of them because I can use them for when I do buffets and do the different tiers and then need to have 'fluff' to hide the boxes or other items I'm using for the height.

I got gift bags (and not the ugly or cheesy type) for 2.00 or less. They had boxes for 4.00 or less. The heavy ones that you just wrap a ribbon around.

I bought a stack of 50 napkins in white with little trees, presents, and horns embroidered in the corner for 25 cents each.

I left and my bill was only fifty dollars and I had cleaned up on some items that I never thought I would find in Big Lots!

I have to say it pays to have a party later in the season. Sales seem to pop up in your favor!

Thos napkins sound interesting. They sound perfect for my Christmas dishes. Are they cotton? I think I would freak if I had to iron 50 napkins though!!:eek: Thanks for the tips.

Wedding Planner - where are you from? I'm going to look at our local Big Lots, but I've never seen anything like you are describing. I'll check two or three stores. I always need extra tablecloths and napkins. Great idea. Thanks for letting us know.

I am in the midwest. When I lived in the South I admit they didn't seem as nice as the ones here.
