I could eat cheese boards, cheese platters, and cheese balls every single day of the week. I love cheese! A get-together is not complete without a tray of some sort of cheese appetizer.

You are definitely going to need some napkins, plates, and cups for your gathering. You need napkins that are strong enough to wipe off the sauces around your mouths and hands, which is why I picked up Vanity Fair® Extra Absorbent Napkins. These are a part paper towel and part napkin! You’ll need cups that are perfect for beverages, no matter if they are hot or cold, which makes Dixie® To-Go Cups the perfect choice. And you’ll need plates that are durable and strong enough to carry all the food you’ll have on your menu. Did you know Dixie Ultra Plates® can hold up to two pounds of food? With these MVPs, you won’t have to worry about cleaning up as much after the game, and your guests won’t have to worry about their food spilling off their plates!
