Well, two weeks ago we had a wedding for 200 and after specifically requesting no open flame candles, the bride insisted that the centerpieces she made for the head table would not drip. Which of course, they did - ruining 4 tablecloths. Thankfully they were not the brand new floor length tablecloths I specifically purchased for her wedding, but still, now I have candle wax on 4 white tablecloths. I have done the paper towel, warm iron thing and am left with just small quarter size spots, thankfully, not the orange of the candle wax, but I don't think that these will wash out. Any suggestions from all you guys on how to get the remainder of these spots out?
As I learn from each event, I am now very specific in the contract that any damage to tablecloths, etc., will require full replacement. Two years ago we had a bride who had lots of children at the wedding and gave all of them crayons and coloring books. Lovely idea until they decided to draw on my white wedding tablecloths. Try getting red crayon out! I just grinned and worked at it, but now I have grown more cranky in my old age.
And then there is the lipstick on white napkins!
