Fine China

Like every couple, we want our wedding to reflect us. And if you know us, you know that we are not flashy people. We're simple people. We like simple things and it's very important to Don and I that this wedding and reception not feel like a huge production. We're not "putting on" for anyone. If there's one thing he's taught me, it's not to give a shit what anyone thinks.

With that being said, I want it to be very clear that our reception will be casual. We love family get togethers and that's what we want it to feel like. When I think of family get togethers, I think about sitting in my Grandma's yard, everyone talking and laughing and eating. With our casual "feel" and casual "menu", I've decided it's only fitting to eat off of paper plates. And drink out of plastic glasses, and use plastic forks.

Seriously!

Let that sink in for minute or two.

Am I crazy? BAT SHIT.

I just don't see wasting time with real dishes for someone to be in charge of getting, and not breaking, and keeping clean, and washing when it's over. NO THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

And since our guest list is mostly family and close friends, I don't think it's a big deal. I'm sure they all eat off of paper plates at get togethers so I'm sure they won't mind one bit.

Not that I need to justify this to anyone because it is my wedding after all, I just thought I would put this out there because I just know that someone somewhere is going to have something to say.

If you're too good for paper plates, please don't come.
