Plates of every size...in every color...in paper, plastic, foam and glass. Our paper plates have matching hot cups. Our plastic plates have matching plastic cups as well as plastic bowls. We've been told that some of our plastic plates are too good to throw away and caterers have collected them to use over and over again. If you're cooking or catering food, we guarantee you will find the perfect plate here, wholesale, for birthdays, weddings, baby showers, or any event. If you have any questions, just e-mail Janyce, she loves to chat about party ideas. Our Recommendations 1. Cocktail party - Two 7" plates per person for each two hours of serving should be sufficient for hors d'oeuvres. As an alternative, you can use toothpicks or beverage napkins. 2. Sit down brunch, lunch or dinner - One plate per person per course is usually enough. A 9" plate can be used in most cases for the main course as well as salads, however, some caterers prefer the 10 1/4" plate for the main course as it holds a lot of food comfortably. You can use a 7" plate for bread and butter, side dishes or even desserts. Use a bowl for ice cream or soup. 3. Buffet - Two to three 9" plates per person, depending on how many hours your event will run, should meet your needs. The 10 1/4" plate, which is sometimes called a "buffet plate", while comfortable, leaves a lot of room for waste. It does, however, make a great serving plate. As professionals for over 25 years, we have learned that whenever you think you have ordered enough, order 10% more, just in case.
