Setting an Easy Table With Lightweight Dinnerware

Prepare the table with grace and ease when you choose lightweight dinnerware for your next meal or event. These pieces are designed to go with just about any style of meal, depending on the aesthetic in your home and your culinary preferences. Go for whimsical plates that make parties fun and get the conversation started at brunch or a sit-down dinner. Choose platters that showcase initials or wood grain, while still maintaining a lighter weight that makes them easy to load with your favorite snacks and carry out to a coffee table or buffet area. Consider glassware at the same time. Select etched glasses and pitchers to go with lightweight dinnerware like bowls, trays, plates and more.

What is Lightweight Dinnerware?

Lightweight dinnerware refers to any dinnerware or serveware that is light enough to carry easily. It may also refer to anything that offers a light, airy look to your tabletop, keeping in mind even substantial pieces can be part of a lightweight atmosphere when you stick to minimalism and high-quality.

  • Melamine is usually lightweight and it's perfect for outdoors or parties, because it's resistant to chipping, cracking and shattering. Use these plates for high-impact situations, like big gatherings or poolside barbecues.
  • Look for etched glasses that are made of unique materials that help counter the usual thickness of what glass requires to be engraved. You can find tumblers, wine glasses, stemless wine glasses or other favorites.
  • Anything that works at your indoor or outdoor dining tables easily can be considered lightweight. While some fine china selections are technically not heavy, what hosts are usually seeking is a balance between easy to serve and looking great.

Platters and Glassware For You

Discovering the wide variety of lightweight dishes available makes it easy to stock up on everything you need. By browsing regularly, you can build out a collection of well-loved dinnerware, including plates, bowls, platters, glassware and more.

  • Shop open stock selections to help round out a set you love and always have extra elements on hand for company.
  • Take the time to choose pieces that match other items you have. You might like a certain color, finish, saturation or silhouette. Use this as a starting point and develop your aesthetic from there. You could even enjoy two different looks, one for indoors and one for outdoors.
  • Lightweight dinnerware can be used at home as an everyday option with family or for when you have large groups of people over to your place. You might enjoy bringing these platters to a host's home when invited to a potlatch or brunch.

Choose your tabletop looks for every event with lightweight dinnerware that you'll enjoy using meal after meal.
