<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Paper Plates May Be a Bit Too Casual
As a rule of thumb, wedding planners and designers would not recommend the use of paper plates at a wedding reception. Weddings are normally considered to be a classy event, and even casual weddings are dressed up a little to give them a touch more elegance.
On the Other: Your Wedding, Your Choice
If you are having an informal ceremony and reception on a small budget, then paper plates may be the option for you. If paper plates must be used, spring for the better-quality paper plates that are coated, strong and durable. Look for a plate with a nice pattern to accent the decor.
Bottom Line
Traditionally, paper plates are not used at weddings. But if untraditional is what you're going for, then there is no right or wrong answer for your wedding dining decor. Just be sure your choices for dining utensils are in keeping with the rest of your wedding's theme. Ultimately, the choice should rest on what pleases the happy couple.
