I plan to use these very stylish, eco-friendly plates for an upcoming wedding rehearsal dinner. Its naturalness makes it perfect for the theme, which is a fusion of Northern Virginias Wine Country, deep-south backyard BBQ, and Filipino traditions. Im not sure yet if Ill use them for appetizers, dinner sides, or dessert. Regardless, theyre the perfect alternative to paper or plastic plates. BTW - I used them at home before finalizing my decision. They are durable and do not get soggy or limp even with the most sauciest of foods.
