Weddingbee boards

I'm trying to leave as small of a footprint with the wedding as possible and save money, so I asked FI to find some biodegradable plates and bowls, and he found these. They are pretty much the cheapest ones I have seen yet, but I am worried they look to cheap. Mr.Bobby doesn't really care so I brought the question to the hive! Here is the link.

I can rent plates and ect. from the rental company we are going to use but their priced .35 a piece(same for flatwear), and these are considerable cheaper

What kind of wedding are you having?  Outside or inside?  And what's the kind of feel your going for?  I can see them working for some situations and not for others.

I think it would really depend on what kind of wedding you're having.  For a more casual wedding I think they would look fine.  Just make sure that you have guests separate out their plates from the other trash so you can actually have them composted.  Just throwing them out isn't enough.  Unless you either actively compost them yourself or take them somewhere that can do it for you, they won't break down on their own.  I don't know all of what goes into it, but a lot of times things that are labeled "compostable" need a certain level of heat and bacteria, among other things, in order to break down that won't happen naturally in a land fill.

But you may already know all that.  If you're just concerned about look, then I think they could look nice if you style everything the right way.  What are your other decorations going to look like?

We're having a rustic/casual outside wedding. Colors are light summery pink, cream, gold

@greenleaf,

I think somewhere on the website it saide they could take up to 4-6months for degrading, but that may have been on another website that had degasse. We were already planning on having the trash seperate with trash cans labeled for certain things. And the decorations are going to be kind of rustic almost country, mr.bobby loves the idea of drinking out of mason jars! lol

That sounds great then!  I think the tan color will go well with the pinks and golds.  I've been to a wedding with disposable stuff before and I didn't think it looked cheap or anything like that, so I wouldn't worry there. Go for it!

I agree sapphirebride! that's what I was affraid of on another site that carried plates like this!

And thanks so much ladies!

But do you think wooden flatwear would look good with these?

You prob wont be able to set the table with the plates because they might blow away unless you weigh them down with something. Just another thing to consider.

@commonshin those are AMAZING, but they're a little more pricing than we can afford, atleast on the one sight we looked at. But I would love to use them some time we can!
