Mirrors as centerpieces

Lorri · 10-16-2006, 11:09 PM

I am in need of 25-30 octagon shaped mirrors for my daughters wedding.
Does anyone know where I can get these at a decent price?
Budget is tight so 5.00 each is out.
I would appreciate any links, ideas, or suggestions.
Thanks

I have this thing about really, really not liking octagons.

Maybe they have boxes of that shape in the peel and stick kind of mirrors at home depot or lowes? Maybe at the big craft stores?

have you tried a dollar store.I know ours has tons of things for weddings

I know you can get coupons for sometimes 40%-50% off at some of the craft stores. I regularly see in the Sunday paper coupons for Michael's and Hobby Lobby. I also get coupons in the mail for Joanns. I would also look on ebay (I got a [B]lot[B] of the stuff for my wedding on there, including my wedding dress). Good luck and I hope your daughter's wedding is beautiful.

Go to your local glass and mirror shop and ask them what they would charge and cut the size you need.... they usually have extra cut offs and such and may make you a good deal just to get rid of their extras. (they buy in bulk which will come to you cheaper)

Did you consider renting them? We have a wedding decoration store here that rents supplies like this, and for our wedding we paid $1.00 each to rent them. Granted, you don't get to keep them afterward, but it is cheaper than buying, and I didn't really want to end up with 20 mirrors laying around anyways

Thank you all so much ...those are some good ideas... I got lucky and the reception hall has square ones that we can use for no additional charge. She agreed to use those so I feel better about not spending a ton on something that would be left "laying" around after.

You could check little jewelry boxes or toys or something at the dollar stores for that shape mirror, buy the box for the $1 and then just keep the mirror. Though I'd try to think of something to do with the extra pieces first.
