Service For Twenty-Four
The count is the useful part. Twenty-four of each item means a street party or an extended family cookout can be set without doing arithmetic at the shop, and a smaller gathering leaves a spare stack in the cupboard for Memorial Day or Veterans Day. Plates, cups and napkins arrive together in matching artwork, which is the part people usually get wrong when they gather the pieces separately.
Food-Grade Printed Plates
Plates are cut from thick stock rather than the flimsy kind that folds under a scoop of potato salad, and the patterns are printed with food-grade inks so they can sit under hot barbecue as easily as under a slice of watermelon. Cups hold their shape when a child grips one with both hands. The whole set is built for a meal eaten standing up on a lawn.
Banner As Backdrop
The banner in the box is meant to be hung, not folded into a drawer. Strung across a porch rail, a fence or a doorway, it gives photographs a background instead of siding, and the tablecloth can be taped to a wall behind the dessert table for the same effect. Both hang from ordinary tape or twine, and neither needs a frame or a stand to hold it up.
Cleanup In One Sweep
When the fireworks are over, the table clears in one motion: gather the corners of the cloth with the plates and napkins inside, and the whole thing goes into a bag. Nothing has to be carried back inside to be washed, which is a relief at outdoor events where the kitchen is a walk away. One trip to the trash can ends the evening instead of a sink full of dishes.
