heavy duty plastic plates.. Tacky?

Go for it....My wedding sounds about the same as you and that is what we are doing. Mine is outdoors, beach, catered bbq and we are totally laid back people. As a guest, I honestly could care less as long as they were sturdy and durable. ....oh your almost my date twin!!! WE ARE SOOO CLOSE NOW!!!!

I say go for it. When I originally saw the headline of the post I was going to say no way but after reading about your wedding I totally think it would be fine! Especially if they match your decor better :-)

Totally fine!

Yep!! our is very laid back as well, outdoor ceremony indoor reception. we are serving heavy hors d'oeuvres. So its not like they will be cutting into a steak on a plastic plate. & same here I could careless about the plates etc. I say as long as the food is good thats all that matter lol

& Yes!!! Its going to be around the corner before we know it!!

We used the ivory plastic disposable plates with the gold rim, and that plastic flatware that is silver so it looks like metal. It looked fantastic. You really couldn't tell at all that anything was plastic. Our venue didn't have stuff like that we could rent, and if we rented plates or silverware from anywhere else, someone would have had to wash dinner dishes for 250 people before we returned them. Yikes. It was nice, though definitely not environmentally friendly, just to be able to toss everything.

Thanks Ladies!

I feel better lol

Yeah I got a qoute from 1 rental place

one wanted $5 a person for a plate.. yeah that added up to $325 + delivery fee & extra $75 because they had to be picked back up that night ( since my venue says everything has to be out the same night. ughh I just cant see spending that much on plates that we are renting! and WE would have to have them cleaned for them to be picked up, & Im not having anybody wash dishes on my wedding day. Nor will I hire somebody to wash them.

Sounds good to me

No judgement here. We are doing the fancy plastic china since we are doing a buffet style reception.

We will be using plastic. Originally I wasn't a fan of plastic at weddings, but ya know they make some really nice ones now.

I say go for it we are doing the same with heavy duty plastic plates.

Go for it. I wouldn't side eye it at all

That's my plan as well!

I will be using one too, fancy palstic china and the silver plastic flatware, but are you going to use chargers to decorate the table, I will be serving buffet style.

Honestly, I have seen some plates out there who could be twins with my Lenox china pattern(cream/gold). If you are happy with it, go for it.

We are using heavy duty fancy plastic ones.

We are going with the plastic

& they will be just fine

Thank you all

Go for it, i see that a lot of brides use them, this one included.

I'm using it and we will all eat drink and be Married

Go for it.. Theres nothing wrong with that

I'll be using them also. Not tacky. That's actually what most people around my area uses, instead of fine china. They looks real without the worry of someone breaking it.
