Dollar Tree Charger Plates

I have not but there are always posts here about this and a lot of people do and like them.

I've heard good things about them. Both ac Moore and michaels have them fairly cheap and typically have coupons.

They are the same as any other acrylic charger plate.

I would see if you can get them in bulk for a cheaper price. Maybe try linentablecloth.com. if you don't need that many maybe dollar tree is the way to go. Sometimes Michaels has them 3 for 1 depending on the season and sale.

View Quoted Comment I just checked out linen table cloth and their charger plates are mostly between 30 and 40 dollars for 4 plates. Seems pretty expensive.

I did some research and even with coupons I think Dollar Tree is cheaper than Michaels, AC Moore and Christmas Tree Shop! I just end up giving up on them because our guest list grew and I decided to invest the money elsewhere.

I ordered 80 of them...they will serve the purpose. I plan to sell tjem afterwards.

I ordered 80 for my wedding in April! I was hesitant at first because some reviews said half of them were really scratched or cracked. I went through all of them and they are in perfect condition. They will serve it's purpose

I would suggest checking Amazon as well. I'm guessing you can find some that are less than $1 per plate.

My future MIL, who was a home ec teacher and quite fussy about these things LOVES the Dollar Tree charger plates. I did not know what a charge plate even was........

I have tje dollar tree ones they are nice. However i got my wedding ones from michaels it was a sale. I got them cheaper than 1 dollar

You are looking at glass charger plates. We are talking about acrylic.

I'm ordering silver ones! They look exactly like the $13 charter plates at Michael's but for a buck. You can't really go wrong there. Lol

I know someone that got them and they were nice!

I have seen them in person at dollar tree and seriously almost bought them for my home and I'm very picky!!!! They are very suprisingly beautiful! They would be perfect for a wedding definitely.

I have not bought them, but my local dollar tree had then in stock awhile back and they seemed good quality.

At the risk of sounding dumb, could someone please tell me what a charger plate is and if I need them? 😂😂

A charger plate is a large, decorative base setting for which other dinnerware is placed on top of during formal occasions such as catered events, weddings, upscale parties, banquets, or in fine dining restaurants. Also known as service plates, under plates, or chop plates, charger plates are merely decorative, and are not meant to come in direct contact with food. Charger plates provide an elegant way to serve multiple course meals, where each course is served in its own separate bowl or plate, and placed on top of the charger.

Traditionally they were made of china, silver,wood, glass, and pearl. Given that most of us can't afford those materials, they are also now produced in plastic,

Charger plate etiquette and use vary. Some professional catering companies remove the decorative charger plate as soon as the guests are seated. In other instances, when the design of charger plates complements the design of dining plates, charger plates are left on the table throughout the course of the meal. However, charger plates are always removed before serving desserts.
