Afternoon tea fundraiser

Hi
Hoping someone will give an opinion.
I am involved in a small charity and we plan on holding an afternoon tea to raise some money.
Ideally, I would love if we could have 10 tables of 6 attending, and in my dreams, each table would have a complete set of china crockery. However, being able to have 10 sets of complete crockery is unlikely to happen, so would it look ok if there was a mismatch of crockery?

A mismatch of crockery is very current, I believe!
The ideal will be for each setting to have matching cup, saucer and plate, but that can be different at each setting on the table.Signature removed for peace of mind0 -
You can hire crockery from catering hire places. Unlikely to help you raise more money though.
Your venue (church hall, etc) might also already have crockery you can use.A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0 -
