Rentals

The rentals also will likely wash everything afterwards so you don't have to. You can look on places like the facebook marketplace to get "kits" of linens from people who got these for their weddings and now want to get a bit of money back on what they purchased.

A lot of people don’t consider their time, labor, sanity, lack of experience, etc (including counting up setup, tear down, cleaning, transportation, selling) cost minimum wage per hour in addition to cost of supplies. So that makes purchasing more expensive in the long run. Also unless you regularly host parties in your home for 100+ people or you plan to donate everything to your house of worship immediately following the wedding, then renting is much more economical. There is very little if any DIY that is economical because these factors are all regularly ignored.
