These charger plates are great for formal events like wedding receptions and banquets. To use them, simply place them under your dinner plates. After the party, they're easy to clean - just rinse them under hot water. Remember, these plates are not suitable for the microwave or dishwasher. Also, the sale only includes the charger plates, so you'll need to get other decorative accessories separately. They pair nicely with our placemats to make your table look even more beautiful.
