Scalloped Charger Plates

Scalloped charger plates add a curved, decorative edge to every place setting. Every style in this collection is a 13" acrylic charger made to sit under your dinnerware, not to hold food. Choose your style based on your event: waved for weddings and banquets, lotus for a softer edge, bow for showers and birthdays, and rustic wood-look for farmhouse tables.

What to Know Before You Buy

• Size: 13" outer diameter. The Waved Scalloped, Scalloped Bow, and Rustic Wood chargers have an 8" inner well.
• Material: Acrylic.
• Food contact: Decorative only. Food goes on a dinner plate placed on top of the charger.
• Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. The Waved Scalloped, Scalloped Bow, and Rustic Wood chargers are not dishwasher safe.
• How much rim shows: With a 10" dinner plate on top, about 1.5" of scalloped edge shows all the way around. With an 11" plate, about 1" shows. A 12" plate covers most of the scallops, so pair these chargers with 10" or 11" plates if you want the edge to stand out.

How to Choose

• By event style: Waved Scalloped chargers have an antiqued trim and work for formal weddings, banquets, and holiday dinners. The Lotus Scalloped charger has a curved, flowing rim that suits traditional, rustic, or glam tables. The Scalloped Bow charger has a molded bow detail for weddings, bridal showers, and birthdays. The Rustic Wood style fits rustic and farmhouse events.
• By tablecloth color: Dark chargers like black and navy stand out most on white or ivory tablecloths. White, ivory, and pastel chargers show up better on darker or colored linens. On a white cloth, they can blend in.
• By table size: A 60" round table has about 188" of edge. With 10 guests, each place gets about 19" of space, so a 13" charger leaves roughly 6" between settings. With 8 guests, settings have more room for glassware and napkins.
• By quantity: Plan one charger per guest. Add a few extras for last-minute guests or a piece that gets damaged.
• Rent vs. buy: Multiply the per-charger price on the product page by your guest count, then compare that total with your rental quote. These acrylic chargers are designed for reuse, so you can use them again at future events.

Lotus Scalloped Acrylic 13" Charger Plate

White Gold-Trimmed: A white charger with a gold-trimmed scalloped border. It sits neatly beneath soup bowls and dinner plates, and it fits traditional, rustic, or glam tables. Shop the White Gold-Trimmed lotus scalloped charger.

Scalloped Bow Acrylic Charger Plate

Gold: This charger has a wavy scalloped edge and a molded bow with trailing tails in a soft gold finish. It suits weddings, bridal showers, birthdays, and other formal celebrations. Use it over a black tablecloth for contrast or over white for a lighter look. Because the bow is the focal point, keep the rest of the table simple. Shop the gold Scalloped Bow charger plate.

Rustic Wood-Look Scalloped Charger Plates

Scalloped Rustic Wood Charger Plate (4 pc/pack): A brown charger with a scalloped rim for rustic and farmhouse tables. It is made of acrylic, not real wood. It is sold in packs of 4, so divide your guest count by 4 to find how many packs you need. Shop the Scalloped Rustic Wood charger plate 4-pack.

Build the Full Table

• Tablecloths: Choose the tablecloth color first, then the charger. Dark chargers stand out on light tablecloths. Light chargers need a darker or colored base to show their scalloped edge.
• Runners: A table runner down the center of a long banquet table frames the chargers on both sides. A runner in the trim color, such as gold, ties the place settings together.
• Centerpieces: Scalloped edges already add detail at each seat, so simple centerpieces like bud vases, candles, or low florals keep the table from looking crowded.
• Chairs: To cover mismatched or plain chairs, browse chair linens in your tablecloth color.
• More charger styles: If you need a plain-rimmed or glass option for another part of your event, browse all charger plates.

Care and Storage

• Wipe each charger with a damp cloth and mild soap after the event.
• Do not put the Waved Scalloped, Scalloped Bow, or Rustic Wood chargers in the dishwasher.
• Hand clean them carefully, then store them between events.

For Planners, Rental Businesses, and Venues

The Gold & White Waved Scalloped charger is sold by the single piece or by the case of 10. The Waved Scalloped colors share the same shape, so you can mix colors within one event.
