We use the good silverwarebut we use the everyday dishes
We use everyday dishes at my house. My mother has special Christmas dishes with Christmas trees on them that she breaks out for Christmas once a year.
Grandma usually breaks out the good silverware, but there are so many of us and with little kids, she just uses the everyday plates and glasses.
The weekend stuff, usually.
The Corelle is for everyday. the Royal Worcester is for special occasions, without a mob at the table. The earthenware is for nice but not extraordinary, i.e. weekends/holidays. Paper is for parties.

Depends what we are eating!
I will break out my "good" stuff next week for Thanksgiving, and my sister-in-law will break out the good stuff on Christmas if they decide to cook a turkey. However, if we have a clam boil again, there is a good chance it will be paper plates.
If we're at my Grandma's or Mom's, the good china. I think we just used regular stuff at my Aunt's last year.
Depends where we're at... my mom uses all of her good stuff- especially when we have the small gathering with just our immediate family, she goes all out for that.
When we're at my other family members houses I think they use just their regular stuff.... but then again maybe that's the good stuff?! Not sure!

My Mom uses good china but it's buffet style. Dad uses regular everyday plates and stuff. My in-laws use paper plates. So hubby and I can choose our level of formality on the holidays!
My side of the family just uses the regular dinnerware, but it's all very nice and they use the good silver with it. J's side of the family uses paper plates, but there are usually about 15-20 of us around that table and that's a lot of people to clean up after!
good china for holidays, but everyday is paper plates & cups. Gotta make it easier on us somehow.....
My grandma always uses the china and the good silverware, actually silver. She's got festive holiday china. If it was me serving it, it would just be on everyday dishes. I don't even own china.

If we had good china it would be used everyday that paper won't work. (ie. too thin, too small, etc.)
