[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've seen plenty of decent looking disposable plates that are strong at the party store, for a good price. And plastic ware that looks like the real stuff. I'm so happy my family isn't so fussy that they would have issue with disposable plates! I stopped using our china for holiday meals b/c that requires hand washing vs. the dishwasher. Our regular plates are white stoneware, so paired with some good decorations and nice table linens, it looks great. If I was hosting 25 ppl, I for sure would use disposable![/quote]

If you don't use your china for holidays, when do you use it? If you don't use it, why do you have it? I think it's sad that our society is ALWAYS placing comfort/convenience before taking the time and effort to make something truly special, like an elegant holiday meal.[/quote]

I use my china for smaller formal dinners. I don't have china for 25-30. If I wanted to have a full-on elegant, up-scale Thanksgiving dinner, I'd leave out of the extended family and just invite the grandparents. But our family values togetherness more than formality and has always been "the more the merrier" types. We truly don't care about the formality of the tableware and long as the food and company are good and everyone is comfortable.[/quote]
