Paper plates

Reuse tip: Opt for reusable crockery over paper plates. If you're catering for a big group, serve finger food or get some volunteers to help do the dishes at the end of the event to reduce the workload. You can also hire party kits (plates, cups, bowls etc.) through the Party Kit Network. Locally, kits are available from the Elwood Kitchen Library and the Bayside Toy Library, among others.
