I know the discussion was brought up the other day about real vs. plastic
I got these plastic plates from the Dollar Tree Deals store. they are the hard plastic white with a silver ring. Very sturdy. {104 plates for $35.00} I also am using the metallic silverware, which I got from a local restaurant store {50 pieces for 43.00}. The napkin rings I got from orientaltrading.com {48 pieces for $3.00}
I really wanted the rings because I used a "love" sticker to seal our wedding invitations and the script is exactly the same...not that guests will probably pick up on that, but that's the anal side of me, LOL
