When two lives entwine, and two hearts combine, there is love in the air.
Then, the next thing you know, there is the wedding to plan.
Who knew that so many details could be involved in one occasion? It seems that there are a bazillion things to do and remember before that big day comes.
So, why then do we stress more than we have to? There is one little thing that could make things a bit easier, if we would consider it.
Disposable plates.
Several reasons come to mind for opting to use these versus the old standby.
Here are a few:

• Saving much needed time.
  Time is an essential element needed if you are planning a wedding.
  It becomes very precious, very quickly.
  Everybody needs more time these days, and what better way to save time than to be able to throw out the plates and take no thought for washing up for hours.
  
• Not only are they easy to take care of, but they are economical, too.
  Much easier on the wallet than paying for a caterer, disposable plates can fit into a budget quite well.
  Going on a budget is a good idea.
  Weddings are no exception.
  Save money wherever you can.
  Cutting corners in little ways can really add up in the long run, and disposable plates on the list is one of the things that will do just that.
  
• Knowing that they are disposable means that they will be eco-friendly, too.
  That should be enough of a reason to opt for using them.
  Everyone needs to do their part in helping to preserve the earth, and if we will, our kids will enjoy the benefits of that for years to come.
  So, making a decision to recycle can only be a good thing.
  
• Whatever your tastes may be, there is sure to be a variety that suits your style.
  They come in many different shapes and sizes, from hearts to rings, and from small dessert plates, to large dinnerware.
  If you are only serving dessert, or doing a full-scale dinner, they are sturdy enough to handle any situation.
  
• They come in many different colors and patterns.
  There is sure to be one that you can use.
  Sometimes you can just choose a style of plate, and then build your decorations around that theme.
  That can be lots of fun, and take some of the guesswork out of the rest of the details.
  

But, when you are in the midst of the chaos, try to keep in mind that the most important thing is to enjoy that time with family and friends.
