Who in ATL has coolers I can borrow?
Aug. 15th, 2008 11:02 am The biggest difficulty with the wedding is going to be the food. I'm doing it all (from drinks, to actual food, to the cake) myself from scratch, but that isn't the problem. See when you have caterers THEY have to figure out how to transport everything and how to keep everything at the perfect temperatures, etc. For me? Well I don't have super expensive refrigeration units or a pile of chaffing dishes and sterno. On top of that all, I live 4 1/2ish hours from the reception. That means all this stuff I'm going to have premade will all need to be driven over there when we go the day before and then kept cool not only for the drive, but overnight, and then the next day on the beach.
Most of this problem is solved with actual refrigerators. Charles' family is renting a house on the island and will have a full real fridge. Also, we will have at least one if not two mini-fridges in our hotels room. Between all of those, we should be fine. The problem that is left is the transporting of said items during the drive. So here's what you can do.
If any of you that live in Atlanta* have coolers/ice chests/etc. I can borrow, please let me know!
I only need maybe 2 more in addition to what I have because some of the stuff doesn't need kept cold, just served cold. We have a _giant_ tub for the ice and food for the beach, but it isn't insulated and thus the drive would be bad. I looked into buying them and at fricken big lots they were still like $25 a piece for cheap ones. I can't afford to drop $50 on coolers that I will only need for 4 1/2 hours. (
*And no it won't work if you're coming to the wedding and don't live here cause I need them for the drive down.)
