These are the perfect plates for your next wedding, celebration, party etc. On an occasion when you want the convenience of disposable, yet you want a more refine elegant look. The plates are made of a thin plastic, and feature a beautiful shiny gold trim on the outer edge of the plates, which really adds a touch of elegance. They come in two sizes, the dessert/small salad type plate and a larger lunch/dinner plate. If you wanted to Make them look even fancier, you can add an inexpensive gold charger plate underneath. For a disposable plate, I was quite impressed with the look of these plates.
