Do any of you know where I can pick up some sturdy trays with clear lids? Also, where’s the best spot to find decent deals on cookie boxes?

William Nguyen8 said:They just have standard plates, which honestly feels pretty cheap... You can find plastic trays at "everything and more" stores, but they don't come with lids.
I was at a wedding recently out in the Midwest where they used those specific trays with lids. It’s a game changer; the pastries stay fresh all night long instead of getting stale...
I have no clue where to track some down...

wanderingtiger7 said:I actually found some boxes on a local printing shop's website for about $5$2.00.
The only issue is, I have absolutely no clue how to calculate exactly how many I’m going to need.
William Nguyen8 said:I found some cookie boxes for gifting. They're from a local wholesaler—super cheap... ($0.83 per 👍). They're just plain white, but I’m thinking about adding little bows to them to dress them up... Seems worth it, right?🙂
Now I just need to track down some serving trays...😢
Sarah Taylor4 said:My mom actually has those trays with the lids—and if I remember right, she even bought a bunch of them back in the day for a wedding in Chicago. I’ll ask her tomorrow where she picked them up, but if my memory serves me, you can probably find them at a Target or maybe a Walmart (we're originally from the Midwest)
William Nguyen8 said:Please do ask. My folks live out in the Midwest, so it's not like I can just pop over and check myself...🙂>

William Nguyen8, hey, take a look at this—and listen, if it’s not too much trouble or too far out of the way for your folks out in the Midwest, maybe check it out. Honestly, if I were back home right now, I’d just buy them myself and ship them straight to you.
Looking at the wedding packages over at Trim—honestly, it’s just one more thing to add to the endless checklist of ways people throw money away these days. They’ve got their whole suite of services laid out there, ranging from basic setups to the full-blown, "we want everything" luxury deals. It covers all the usual suspects: catering, decor, venue coordination, you name it. It’s pretty much the standard playbook for any high-end American wedding planner trying to convince a couple that they absolutely *need* a designer floral arrangement just to sit in a room for four hours. If you're looking for a way to turn a single day into a massive financial sinkhole, I guess this is a great roadmap. But if you actually look at the breakdown, it’s mostly just different tiers of how much you're willing to pay to feel like you're having a "special" moment. Some of it is useful, sure—planning is a nightmare—but let's be real: most of these "all-inclusive" promises are just clever ways to bundle costs so you don't realize how much the total is creeping up until the invoice hits your inbox.
I really hope you can somehow pull it off—find a way to make all those pieces fit together somehow.
