Paper placemats are an easy way to add a decorative touch to the table. It's not the end of the world when they get food on them because you can throw them away, and just tear off another one from the pad they came on. Plat du Jour makes their pads with 50 sheets, so if extra guests show up or you have tons of kids at the children's table, you can create a consistent, festive air. The artistic, realistic turkey rendering in sepia is like having an engraved print as your placemat, providing the perfect high/low moment.
