I'm sure there are many "purists" who are sniffing so profusely right now that they won't have to vacuum later, but I think it's absolutely, 100% OK as long as there's a reason for it whether that reason is utilitarian or aesthetic.<br /><br />I remember the wedding you did with those pretty, colorful paper fans! That was a couple of years ago when you and I first starting chatting! You had them all behind the head table, I think? Or maybe it was the buffet table. At any rate, I remember them! They're in incredibly great shape, and they look terrific here. They take on a whole new life! They remind me of the pretty dresses worn by some women in Mexico.<br /><br />I'm going to hop over to AllRecipes to check out that sangria recipe. My sister loves it, and it's always a great drink to serve at parties in the summertime. I'm looking to spice it up a bit, so that 7-Up sounds really great!<br /><br />Glad your party went well!

I have a set from Macy's made by Waterford that comes with a tablecloth and a set of placemats that match. Seems like they wouldn't sell it that way if it wasn't ok to use! I agree with Alycia! The food and dessert looks so good!

I put placemats on tablecloths all the time and I think it looks fabulous.
