Well as you have asked! Personally I would not bother with a plaid. Why? Three reasons, One, at a function, unless it is outdoors in the snow, you will find that you will get too hot. Two, they get in the way, do not be surprised if you sweep all the glasses off the table as you turn round to talk to some one(I have seen it done!), or, you find that you have dipped the back of it into the punch bowl(I have seen that done too!).Three,it all looks unnecessarily theatrical and fussy, unless you actually are a drummer or a piper.
