+1 I advocated earlier for real plates because the plates are more practical, but I don't call paper plate users names. |
I love this post |
I was the first poster who suggested china for the grownups (and teens) and disposable plates for the little ones.
They make so many cute Thanksgiving plates. The smaller kids will feel they are getting something special if you give them decorated paper plates instead of china or a plain Ikea plate. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ORWR8TS?psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/Thanksgiving-Plate-Turkey-Melamine-Personalized/dp/B01696E8I8 https://www.amazon.com/Thanksgiving-Disposable-Dinnerware-Holiday-Party/dp/B01795JUH2 https://www.amazon.com/Thanksgiving-Gobble-Disposable-Dinner-Plates/dp/B015EYQIY8 |
Not PP but I was thinking of using this company http://www.rentallcenter.com/price-list.php |
Frankly, I think a Thanksgiving dinner with 40 people is too many. |
I think Thanksgiving food is too heavy/saucy for paper plates. Agree to do plastic for just the kids or buy a few inexpensive real plates to get you as many as you need. |
Which of my nieces or nephews should I get rid of? |
We always use nice, heavy, big paper plates. The young ones draw pictures and write messages on the bottom of them -- keeps them occupied while we cook and everyone looks forward to seeing what's under their plate. |
Just buy some IKEA $1.00 plates.
Thanksgiving and Chistmas dinners are special and paper plates are terrible to eat on. |
No way. For some reason, paper plates on Thanksgiving just doesn't sit well with me. If you are four short, I'd go buy 6 inexpensive plates at Home Goods or somewhere and that way you'll have them for future years, too. |
Yes, when I think of 18th and 19th century solemn religious holidays that follow fast days, I think "laid back." |
Buy Dixie OP

Not PP, but putting aside the fact that it's currently 2016, Thanksgiving is also not a religious holiday. |
Paper, no. But the plastic Solo plates are fine. They don't get soggy and you can cut on them with a sharp knife. |
PP is way too rational and classy for an internet forum. I tend to forget what reasonable, real-world people sound like when I read too many threads here. |
