Catering an event can be a stressful if you don’t know what you are doing. For big parties, it is cheaper to do it yourself, you can have finger foods, different candies, fruit trays, and veggie trays. If you are looking for something for sit down and serve, you will need to hire servers and bartenders. Sit down dinners can be done if you have warmers to keep food hot. Serving one table at a time can help to keep things going faster. Buffet style is an easy way to go, and you can have your meat, vegetables, bread and desert at one place and they can serve themselves. It could be cheaper that way you do not have to have servers, just a few people to keep the buffet table food full and looking nice. You can place bowls of salad and bread in the center of the tables, and give each guest a chilled salad plate and fork. Then, you can heat the plates and serve however many tables you have one at a time, with at least 16-20 at a table you should be able to finish up in no time. Allowing guests to self serve salad at the table is called family style, which is fine and, since many people don't eat some kinds of salad, it reduces waste. No matter what kind of catering it is ,you need to think about what you want and what is appropriate for the event. |
