That may change with the advent of the plastic party plate. These 10-by-10-inch plates with snap-off (and snap back on!) utensils come in red, black and clear, and while some not-so-environmentally-minded hostesses might think of these plates as disposable, we certainly don't. Since they're apparently made of a fairly sturdy plastic (sturdy enough to hold food and drink), and go for $8 for a set of four, we can't imagine anyone not using them again and again.
Of course, this just begets another question: Why use a party plate with snap-off utensils when you can use an old-school lunch tray and put regular utensils and wine glasses in their designated compartments? To each her own!

My husband and I are
enthusiastic party hosts, and when our house is in good shape (i.e., when we don't have an infant child in the
house...), we often have people over for dinner or drinks more than once a week. We throw dinner parties and
informal bashes because it's a great way to socialize without having to deal with babysitters or the specter of
bringing our boys into public adult spaces. And, because we just love to host.
