For kids definitely. We had a thanksgiving 20 or so years ago with a bunch of little nieces and nephews and I insisted on giving them paper plates. Like I'm going to let them eat of off the Royal Doulton china that I inherited from my mom?

That same dinner, I was persuaded to bring out the sterling sliver flatware that I also inherited. 12 place setting. My ex c()nt sister-in-law got on my case because I was counting it afterwards and asked if I thought someone would steal some of it. It came out 1 fork short and I dug through two bags of trash to find the fork. You don't count, it quickly turns downhill from a 12 place setting. IIRC, six pieces per setting = 72 items and easy to lose one here and there if you aren't careful.
