Is Paper Plates Ok For A Wedding Should We Have Paper Plates Or Real China?

Should we have paper plates or real china? - is paper plates ok for a wedding

My future FIL China insists that really for our wedding. He thinks that the paper / plastic is tasteless. My parents think paper plates will go well and are cheaper. Especially since most people do not remember what I ate out.

We have found our caterer for the reception and most places pay for extra china or should go and rent.

What were the others?

Depends. If you have an informal meal, such as BBQ sandwiches or appetizers, then go for the role. When you make a formal meal, like chicken and mashed potatoes, etc. go to China. It may cost more, but your guests likely to complain if they have to eat a good meal for a cheap apartment.

Also be sure to get plates, and bring a better quality of paper, if the road.

If it's a very informal to go with paper plates wedding, but if you are a good place to eat, we recommend you real plates. China needs to be not very expensive, but it must be real plates.

Real plates. There must be porcelain.

Certainly depends on your situation. A wedding in the evening with a weight of food? Probably, China. Or could, if you are a good idea to China, large sheets of plastic dishes that seem to really get (I think you can find these parties in the shops and places like Sam's Club).

Rent dishes (in my area at least) is really the same price as always, the plastic sheets from 30-45 cents per piece. The only drawback is that in many places to rent, do the dishes before you even go, what can be annoying to wash.

For this reason, my friend and I'll just use plastic film transparent enough, I think it makes sense in our situation because we still have an outdoor ceremony with a tea reception at the post office - noon.

Believe me, I remind the people to a paper plate at a wedding to eat! I agree with your FIL. Paper and plastic are eye pain, and the environment. What a waste.
I think it's worth renting the courts.
Depending on the situation could also friends and family, ask that you give their courts. Ways to make you a good friend, all have their rooms back. I saw this done on Martha Stewart with tablecloths and napkins, the room was very impressive, with a variety of tablecloths, the more one has a real personal touch. I bet you could do the same thing with the food.

The reception was a museum, so we had on every piece of silverware, china, etc. are increasing, and the kitchen was small, there was no way to wash or store real porcelain. Her catering company felt very well, thick plastic sheets, such as the China demand, but then right into the recycling. I propose to do something a little more than paper, but not China. It depends on how much you spend. Believe me, do not make your customers around the plates. If you are Chinese, you have to go on glass, silver and linen of Nice, with him. Prepare approximately $ 15 per person for all these elements to spend. This does not apply to food.

Of course, if you pay your future FIL, that's their problem not yours.

NO paper plates. It's beyond bad taste. same type of plastic would be better, but your marriage is at least one meal a few real China. I understand that reduce costs, but why not a promise of marriage and actually put the Bucks.

Real China. They will not remember, favors or centerpieces or flowers, but never forget that when the evening ended on his knees, as he had served on paper plates.

go to China if you need some backyard. Service Lemon Rosemary Chicken with spray olive oil on a sheet of paper, it is losing dismissed the appeal.

Note: I am one of those who eat to remind you what you are outside. I do not really, but I notice and remember. we exist.

I went with the real China if you have a barbecue or a similar type of informal reception.

Hello and congratulations!

What kind of food served, and where the reception?

If you have a garden grill ... Paper or plastic, then okay.

If you have another meal, or if your reception in a room, then yes, you need the real China. His future is only FIL.

I once went to a wedding dinner and Turkey ... all the extras ... It was served in a paper with plastic utensils. Never forget. It was really strange.
