[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like I am an outlier, but I would NEVER EVER ask my Thanksgiving guests to eat off a disposable plate. This is one of a very few big holidays during the year. Most of us have  happy childhood memories of Thanksgiving with parents and grandparents no longer with us, and I bet you ate off of a real plate. My saddest Thanksgiving ever was as a 30-something singleton as a guest of extended family who had gone to very little effort and, yes, made me eat off a paper plate. Cutting the turkey with a plastic knife was tricky.

OP, I am really curious, not trying to be snarky. Why would you offer to host 25 people on a holiday[b] if you do not want to do the work of cleaning up[/b]? I understand those who do not cook well catering the meal, but please just borrow some extra dishes and cutlery.[/quote]

In OPs defense she said she didn't HAVE 25 plates, not that she didn't want to clean them up.

I'd probably borrow plates or buy enough to supplement. They don't all have to match and mixing is chic these days. So if you've got service for 12, you just need another 12 or so (you can use plastic for  the kids table). Lots of places sell inexpensive sets of 12 - I think I've seen them at World Market for one.[/quote]
