Eight and three-quarter inches sits between the 7-inch dessert plate and the 9-inch party plate, which in practice means it works for both a light main course and a generous dessert. If you are only buying one plate size for a shower, this is the size that fails least often.
Three animals across one pack — cheetah, giraffe and elephant — rather than one repeated motif. Assorted-design packs are better than single prints at a shower for a small reason that matters in photographs: a table of twenty identical plates looks like a canteen, a table of three rotating designs looks arranged.
Safari is the third distinct theme on this shelf after bears and bees, and the only one built on animals a child will later recognize by name.
