Does anyone know where I can order acrylic benchers for our son's wedding? Any other ideas for something similar? Thanks so much!

What's an acrylic bencher? Do you mean those laminated sheets?

These are printed on pieces of acrylic/lucite and can stand up on their own or can be displayed in an acrylic/lucite box.

Wow that’s quite the high standards. They are lovely. Not sure they could put an emblem/name and date on each one as I am not sure how or where it would fit. Maybe you could get a matching set of 10 for each guest and put the insignia on the box.

Are they for individual guests to take home? Who would want to bring one home?
Unless the chosson kallah take them hoke?

OP -- do you mean an acrylic bencher or an acrylic bencher holder (like a box)?

Because it is such a high standard that I just thought it would be lovely.

Ali has them and I believe waterdale also can put personalization on them.

Just FYI....our daughter's wedding had them, the chosson's side got them from Ali. The print is so small you can barely see it, and you have to hold it against something white to actually read it. We would have liked bentchers so much more (we ordered some on our own for Shabbos Sheva Brachos, because we wanted zemiros...)

Huge huge huge waste of money. They go for around $50 for a set of 6. I have enough benchers, thank you, and no longer take them home from simchas, but even if I still did, I wouldn't want a slab of plastic. The print is small and if they're like all the other trendy Lucite Judaica like Asher Yatzar plaques and Eishet Chayil plaques, there's very little contrast, so they're very hard to read. Useless for older people and not very useful for younger one, either. And now you have shaimos that won't even deteriorate after burial.

If you have that much money to throw around, donate to a hachnossas kallah organization.

Thank you for your replies. We didn't realize the cost and are considering them for Sheva Brachas instead. I assumed that someone might have a cheaper version. As a BT with a background in art, I was looking for something unique:) We are making our 2nd Lakewood wedding - I've heard that guests don't really even take benchers home with them anymore. At our older son's chasunah, we left the benchers in the trunk of his car (at the hotel!) and the benchers weren't even used until sheva brachas! What types of benchers are common at chasunahs now? Thanks so much!
