Saving Money on Rentals and Disposable Ware.

Consider using disposable plates and plastic tumblers rather than china and glassware. Some disposable ware now comes with stylish designs.

It is less expensive to buy than glassware is to rent, and you don’t have to worry about cleaning or breakage charges. For some parties, it’s OK to mix plastic ware for food and glassware for beverage, or vice versa.

Go to www.partycharlie.com for offers on disposable ware shipped to your home.

If you’re renting equipment, dishware, or glassware, delegate someone to check each item before signing the delivery order. Unless you note the damaged or soiled pieces on the
delivery ticket before you sign it, you will be charged when the goods are returned.

If you’re renting plates, be sure to rinse them so they’re free of food before you return them. Rental companies often charge a cleaning fee for dried-on food.

Avoid late charges by returning all rental items on time.
