Do I have to wash the dishes and silverware after my wedding reception?

Question

We're renting china and flatware from a party planning company. After everyone has eaten, what happens with it? Are we responsible for washing it before returning it? We also have a caterer providing the food, but the dishes are coming from another company...

Answer 1

no let your made do it

Answer 2

I would imagine that if you're renting clean dishes, they want clean dishes back.  Check your contract.

Answer 3

NO WAY!  They will do it, that is YOUR special day! You dont do dishes that day!

Answer 4

Some companies charge an extra fee for unwashed dishes, but its usually built into your contract.

Do you pick up the dishes or are they delivered? Who gets them back after the party? Does it have to be next day?

If you are responsible for washing it, ask a friend or two for help - it is your wedding day, after all!!

Answer 5

i would read the fine print of the contract so you don't get charged more but i would have to say no

Answer 6

I THINK YOU SHOULD JUST GET THE FANCY LOOKING PLASTIC WITH THE DESIGNS IN IT IF YOU DONT WANT TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE CLEANING MESS AT ALL
