In Honor of Glad

Well sorta.

Since Glad has successfully used cloth napkins at 2 parties, I have decided that I am going to use cloth for our big Christmas party.  We have 40+ people comming, so I'll need to make or buy about 10-20 more (I already have 8 Christmas ones I had bought a couple years ago on clearance, 8 regular good ones, 18 ones I made for every day use, & 6 that I had inherited that are just plain white).  I figure I'll need the extras so that I'm not rushing the day of the party to wash & dry ones the family has recently used.  Not to mention the inevitable spills that people will use napkins to clean up.

:::tingles with excitement:::

    You can do it!

    People love using cloth.  It makes your party just that much more elegant.

    I couldn't agree more.  Using "real" stuff makes people feel so much more welcome; so much a part of the household.  My guests have acted more comfortable and very at-home when I use my "good" stuff.  

     

    When did we begin dressing down our table for guests, anyway?  If we're going to entertain, why not do so in a fashion that makes our guests feel special, loved, and taken care of.  Disposable dishes are a reminder that the guest causes extra work.  Not cool.  Not cool at all.

    You are absolutely right.  I think the message I want to send is that my guests are exactly that: guests.  Not a burden.

    I love using cloth napkins for guests and regular meals...once I used it when my dad came over and he was really reluctant.  "Are you sure I can get this dirty?", it's so silly...that's what they're for!
