The Lazy Girl’s One Holiday Essential

The holidays are the time to haul out that heirloom fine china. So we thought. It's just that paper plates always screamed "tacky" to us. But, when we saw this table styled by Zio & Sons with Cheeky dishware, we had to take a second look. Yes, the dishes are paper.

Your guests won't be secretly judging you, because they won't even notice — the plates are that festive. Plus, with the right styling, it's an unstuffy move if there ever was one. The main plus, though? The seven options ahead are going to let you relax instead of putting on the rubber gloves.
