Reception dinnerware

I would go separate plates. Me personally I like my salad separately.

yes, definitely separate forks.

If you want to save money, get the nice formal plastic ware from Sam's - it's beautiful, economical and disposable.

I would do a big plate for the pizza, a bowl for the salad (to container the dressing better) and small plates for the cake.
I don’t know many people who use a fork for pizza, but if your crowd does, then I would have a salad fork, dinner fork, and dessert fork.

I would do separate plates too.

We did wood fired pizza and salad for our rehearsal dinner! I would definitely have separate plates for those items. Also, I would do separate silverware. A salad fork & knife, a dinner fork & knife, and a dessert fork.

I agree with separate plates for everything (or a bowl for the salad) and silverware (or high quality plastic ware) for pizza & salad, and a fork for dessert. I know we're probably weird, but my entire family eats pizza with a knife and fork -- especially if we're dressed up for a wedding.

Separate plates. You don't need forks for the pizza but separate forks for salad and cake is best.


You can buy heavy duty utensils and plates at Costco.
