When Is Renting Your Cupcake Stand The Best Choice?
| Published in Wedding Drinks & Food
The ability to rent cupcake stands is something that many couples consider when they are having cupcakes for their wedding. Most of the time, the linens company will offer these as a part of their package, and it might seem like a pretty good deal. However, most the time buying the cupcake stand will cost as much as renting it does! In this post I want to share with you a few situations that renting is better than buying, and some uses for your cupcake stand long after the wedding is over.
Huge weddings that are offering cupcakes are going to be the best candidates for renting a cupcake stand. I’m talking really big, 500+ guest weddings. There are so many different things to work out in weddings of this magnitude, and searching for the right stand just isn’t feasible. It’s not the number of guests that makes this an issue, it’s how complex everything is to pull together. There are cardboard wedding cupcake stands that hold well over 300 cupcakes, so getting something that big is not difficult to do!
If your wedding is smaller, or much less complex, buying your cupcake stand is almost always a better idea. They are very affordable, and the largest and highest quality ones come in at around $50. For most weddings, a stand that has little or no styling to it is best so that it can be decorated in the wedding’s colors later on. The more plain it is, the cheaper it is as well! Another benefit of these no frills stands is that you can reuse them again and again any time you are baking a bunch of cupcakes.
And if you never use it again, sell it in a yard sale and make some of your money back!
The linen companies are always going to try and upsell you on the cupcake stand, but if you can get it cheaper on your own, that is a better route to take. Only rent the cupcake stand if it is going to make your life much, much easier!
