If you are already tired of the traditional feast, then you can organize a holiday or celebration in the form of a buffet table. Its main advantage is the ability to invite a large number of guests, since the buffet table does not require seating. Therefore, there is more free space, and guests can try any dish they like. If you take into account several important points when organizing a buffet table, then the holiday will surely leave a good impression on you and your guests.
Instructions
Step 1
Please note that for a buffet table, you should choose tables that are 15-20 cm higher than the standard ones. It is advisable to make several tiers of boxes or overturned dishes, draping them with a cloth. This is necessary so that all dishes are in sight and it is convenient for guests to get what they need.
Step 2
Give particular importance to the arrangement of the dishes. The guest plates must be placed in separate stacks of 10. Place the cutlery on the edge to the left of the plates.
Step 3
Vases with artificial stones or bouquets of flowers can be used as table decorations. However, do not put lush bouquets on the table, which can prevent guests from reaching the desired dish and will block them.
Step 4
Alcoholic drinks, as a rule, are poured into glasses and glasses in advance. The rest of the drinks must be placed on the table in bottles so that the labels are visible.
Step 5
Choose a buffet meal of such a size that it can be easily eaten in a few bites. This is convenient for both guests and hosts so that there are no leftover pieces left. At the beginning of the celebration, put on the table those dishes that do not lose their beautiful appearance for a long time and do not deteriorate. Last but not least, offer your guests snacks with sauces, butter, and jellied dishes.
Step 6
The most optimal duration of the buffet table is 2-2, 5 hours. You should not drag out the event, as this is not correct in relation to guests who are forced to stand. Despite the fact that this is a buffet table, arrange a few chairs along the wall so that those who wish can sit down for a while.
