     Is is okay to use plastic utensils for wedding  

We are having a informal wedding and reception at my sister's house. We were thinking of doing round tables with linen tablecloths. I wanted to use clear plastic utensils because there will be lot of kids. Is it okay the use plastic dinnerware?

You could use plastic, but consider renting real, basic flatware that will enhance the casual-yet-sophisticated atmosphere you're creating by using linen tablecloths instead. The minimal expense of rental flatware could make a maximum impact on the elegance of your wedding, and as a bonus, it doesn't end up in landfills after the party.

If you really want plastic ware, save it just for the kids - wrapped in festive, kid-friendly napkins would be a nice touch, and maybe the cake. Treat yourself, and your guests, and opt for the real thing.

I completely agree. Real utensils are so much nicer.
