The Cheap And Festive Dollar Tree Plates Your Holiday Table Needs

Planning your holiday table menu can be so much fun. From selecting the sides and choosing a dessert to dreaming up a series of fancy freezer door cocktails, this creative job can keep your culinary mind entertained for hours, if not days. However, there's one additional task that you should always add to your party prep list: Designing your tablescape. If you don't know where to start, Dollar Tree stocks some cheap and festive charger plates that make the perfect springboard.

A themed festive tablescape creates structured drama and brightens a drab dining area in seconds, lending it both elegance and style. Priced at $1.50 each, Dollar Tree's gold metallic charger plates are made of plastic, but they have a luxe vibe to their glossy finish that complements the bright colors of the holiday season. Simply place one at each table setting and put your regular crockery on top to lend your dining room some celebratory character. The striking color of these pocket-friendly charger plates will bring some vibrancy to your holiday table (particularly if you tend to use minimalist all-white crockery) and define each guest's dining space. Plus, they serve a practical purpose; the wide radius of the plates protects tablecloths from spills and retains the heat from the dishes placed on top, ensuring everybody's meal is at the right temperature. 

While Dollar Tree's gold charger plates are perfect for elevating a simple place setting, they can also be positioned in the middle of the table to make an elegant centerpiece. All you need to do is put an assortment of candles or some small jars filled with flowers on each charger to make an attractive focal point for your holiday dinner party. Moreover, their affordable price point means you can make an impact without spending a fortune. 

In fact, buying a few of them is a great way to test the waters and experiment with your aesthetic. If you like the vibe, you might feel more inclined to purchase a heavier set of glass charger plates for future events that you can keep forever. Just bear in mind that if you can't get to Dollar Tree and have to opt for delivery, you'll need to order a minimum of 24 plates for them to be eligible for shipping (the plates are shipped in cases that can't be divided up individually). Otherwise, you can buy single plates in-store on your next visit to add to your collection of festive Dollar Tree dinnerware. Elevating your holiday dinner party with candy cane card holders is another low-cost way to add some charm to a fun soiree, so grab a bag of them while you're there!
