Best Summer Melamine Plates

Undoubltely one of my favorite parts of summer is entertaining and eating outdoors. And even in the humid Virginia summers, I love to enjoy dinner at dusk out in our yard around the dining table with family.

This year, whether or not I’ll be entertaining, I’ll certainly still enjoy my dinner outside with the smell of fresh cut grass and vegetables from our garden.

When I fix a summer dinner, I always bring out the melamine plates to serve. It’s easy to prepare everything in the kitchen and plate it on these easy to clean, indestructible plates. Which is especially important with young kids, because they are bound to drop a plate here and there.

Luckily, melamine plates are sturdy and cute! They hold a heftier load than paper plates and are still dishwasher safe. They make the perfect addition to any summer eating or entertaining.

And while I’m enjoying my evenings outside, I’ll do so in style with this roundup of the best summer styled melamine plates. Read on to see the best melamine plates to offer.
