Many choose to use disposable dishes outside. Not only is this much easier, with bugs and the weather, but it also gives you a chance to be creative. For example, if you lay brown craft paper over the table, it creates a casual look and is really easy to clean up. If disposable is not for you, try some of the melamine dishes and glassware offered seasonally at home stores. These come in a variety of colorful and exciting patterns, look very elegant, and are extremely durable, avoiding the risk and hassle of broken glasses outdoors. SAVOR THE OUTDOORS OUTDOOR DISHWARE
