[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IKEA plates can be super cheap:

$2.50 x 25 = $62.50 for plates. But actually you need 50 plates, because of dessert, so either $125 for plates, or somebody has to wash and dry 25 plates.  And then OP either has to find a place to store 25 (or 50) plates, or OP has to give 25 (or 50) almost-brand-new plates to a thrift store.[/quote]

Presumably OP has 8 plates already. You can buy 12 dinner plates for $30 at Target or Bed Bath Beyond or IKEA or lots of places. Kids can use paper. You can get two sets of 10 or 3 sets of 8 dessert plates for $30 to. They will stack in two boxes.

If you want to get them, and think you might host again in the future, go ahead and get them. I have a set of 12 dinner plates with gold rims that I got at Pier One twenty years ago, and 8 or 10 glass dessert plates from Crate and Barrel. I probably don't even use them once a year but they just sit in their boxes in the basement and when I need them, I have them.

I do use paper napkins :)[/quote]
