Party Accessory: Fingerfood Plates from FRED

Entertaining season has begun, and therefore it's also time for finger food. Well, here's what every well-dressed partygoer will be wearing this season.

We saw these little finger plates over at Swissmiss and they totally cracked us up. They are designed by the whimsical folks at FRED.

Would you use these to serve finger food at a party? Could you balance a canape and a glass of champagne better with one of these finger plates? Discuss.

I don't care how practical they might be. I wouldn't be caught dead with one of those things!

It looks like it's right out of a JC Penny catalog from the late 70s.

You would end up with a crabcake stuck to your nose when you went to drink your champagne! How silly.

I love it! Definitely silly, but I'm thinking this frees me up to shake hands with new people... say at a networking event or one of those Christmas parties where I don't know anyone and am meeting someone new every time I turn around.

This is totally bril! I always hate managing the tiny plate and tiny napkin and there's never a place to put any of it down. So I usually just end up drinking champagne and not eating, which...is fine by me.

I love it! How cute! I don't know how practical they'd be, but cute nonetheless.

Haha, before you get uppity about this goofy item, look up FRED's other products. They're extremely tongue-in-cheek, not at all serious.

I don't think I realized immediately that there is a RING on the bottom of the plate. How would this work, you would have to hand out ring plates and then give people food to put on them?

Insane.

Stupid.

I love how poorly photoshopped everything on their site is.
