Another Thanksgiving question- Paper plates or washable plates?

Whichever works.

We've done the "good china" route. As well as plastic plates, and paper plates. If you go the paper plate route, be sure to get ones that are pretty study.

Always washable. Usually normal round ones. One year I used my set of Corelle serving platters so we could really load up, but I felt that was over the top.

12 and under it's bone china a set inherited from my mother who likes to give some stuff away while she's alive.
13 and more I buy Caspari paper plates...they are just beautiful as well as sturdy.

Real dishes.

 

[Nhebron]

Paper! We are doing a low key dinner at home.

 

[Disneylover99]

We've done both. It depends on my mood. Nobody seems to mind, one way or the other.

Other than the pre-dinner snacks, which we use paper plates for, we always use our china, so washable.

 

[runwad]

Always washable, it's a holiday, supposed to be a little bit different than everyday.

 

[DISNEYSQUIRRELS]

Do whatever makes you happy! Next year, nobody will remember what type of plate they ate from!

 

[Micca]

I think we'll just continue to eat over the sink as always.

Paper plates are only for picnics.

 

[AnnaFloridaLover]

Real plates, always.

I mean, really, why not everyone come to the table in their underwear? It's comfortable and easy.

I agree, other then camping the only time we ever use paper plates is if Dh and the kids order pizza if I’m working an evening shift so they can say they didn’t leave any dirty dishes!

Real plates, glasses, & silverware.

We have 12 place settings of china (which is no longer available to buy), &, since it's no longer enough to serve us all, a couple of years ago, I bought 8 more place settings of a coordinating pattern.

We use the nice paper napkins though, and I have disposable drinking cups & coffee cups for before & after the meal when people are just hanging out.

When I hosted it was the fine china, silverware and crystal.
Only use them on Thanksgiving, New Years and Easter

Everyday we use washable dishes so paper is different. I love using paper for Christmas. We don't do Thanksgiving dinner. There are so many cute options.

I've never eaten in my underwear, however I have eaten on paper plates. The meal still tastes the same.

Paper, why do I want to spend all day cooking and then have to clean up. Throw everything away and enjoy the company.

We use China. Paper plates and gravy, that just sounds like a bad idea.

Chinet hard paper. Not doing that many dishes.
