      Tips for Setting Up a

      Buffet Table

      If you're planning a get-together with a few friends, you can certainly use a small area in your apartment or home to set up the buffet table. For example, you can set up food on the kitchen island, or a small card table. You don’t have to get fancy, just make sure your guests can easily get to the treats. And if weather permits, you can use your patio, back porch, or back yard to set up your appetizers.

      Here are a few tips to help you get started.

      1. Utensils for Buffet Table: Place plates and napkins to the left of the table. You can also display utensils in a decorative container next to the plates.

      2. Placing Items on Buffet Table: Place small chafing dishes with hot items on first; then place bowls of salads, fruit and vegetable trays next. If you have a small space and not enough room for chafing dishes, you can place hot items on the kitchen counter. You can also use a crock pot as a heating element so that the buffet could basically be for cold items such as salads, finger foods, and breads.

      If you’re setting up for a Fiesta theme party and serving a taco bar, you would place the items in order as they would normally be served. For example, the taco shells/wraps first along with the chili beef, tomatoes, cheese, refried beans, lettuce, and so on.

      3. Table Covering: I like to dress the buffet with a neutral color like beige or white then layer with theme colors.
