Hosting for the holidays is stressful enough as it is. And the worst part is also the least glamorous: all the dirty dishes. If you're making a main, plenty of sides, and at least a few desserts, your sink is going to be piled high with pots, pans, and plenty of utensils.

If you're hosting a big meal, you can ease your stress by using disposable tableware. But let's be honest: a lot of the standard options flimsy, ugly, or both. Why go through all this effort to make an elaborate dinner and put up festive decor just to serve your meal on subpar plates?

Thankfully, there are plenty of disposable dinnerware options that look just as pretty as real porcelain—and require zero clean-up. We rounded up some of our favorite options in a variety of styles. So whether you want something understated or bold and festive, there's a disposable dish for you.
