    At my wedding reception I will be having a buffet style dinner that my family will be catering. Our family and friends are very laid back people, so I know they won't care about the fact that we're using disposables at our reception. Our venue is just that...just the venue, no staff. So as far as clean up afterwards, I'd like to make it as easy as possible for my family after everyone is done eating and not have to worry about washing plates and silverware for about 150 people. The theme/colors will be a black and white damask with accents of lime/apple green. So the question is...does anyone know of a site or place that sells decent looking plastic or paper plates, better yet with a damask design or coordinating colors?? I have found a few sites that have square plastic plates in solid colors, so if I can't find what I'm looking for, I'll just use those. Thanks a bunch! :)

    Do you have Party City in your neck of the woods?  I've seen some very pretty designs there, including damask.  They have a great variety of paper plate options, in general.

    You are my color twin! I'm doing black and white damask with lime green accents! I went with solid colored paper plates because I didn't want to be too damask-ish and I had trouble finding the right plate. I know Target has damask paper plates and napkins right now. I couldn't find them online tho, they were just in stores. I found a listing on eBay once too for biodegradeable plates that had a large flower pattern pressed/embossed (idk) into each plate. They were really nice looking. I'd check out Party City too as Oracle mentioned, they have tons of different kinds of plates.

    What about the disposable bamboo plates? They're really neat. You can buy them in bulk. I think the name is Bambu?

    What are you using to cover the table--the color? This will help you decide on the color of plates and then the napkins. If you have a Sam's near you check them out for clear forks and knives in a large box for like $12. Have you ever thought about using clear plates? This way you don't have to worry about clashing your plates with the table color and then you can do whatever napkin you want!
