Using these placemats is a breeze. Simply lay them on your dining table before a meal or event. They're great for all sorts of occasions such as parties, weddings, or just a regular home dinner. When you're done, since they're disposable, you can just throw them away for easy cleanup. As for care, remember these placemats are not safe for the microwave or dishwasher. Keep them in a dry place to maintain their quality. And always keep in mind that the listing only includes the placemats, so don't expect any other decorative items to come with them.
