#FunFactFriday

70% of couples are doing buffet-style dinners for their reception.

Are you trying to decide between a plated dinner or buffet?

We have a couple of Pros and Cons for both!

Plated

Pros

• exact food counts are pre-determined

• everyone at the table gets their food at the same time

• formalities can be scheduled between courses

Cons

• limited food options

• requires place cards for  guest meal designation

• if your guests are still hungry, there is no additional food

Buffet 

Pros

• variety of food choices

• promotes mingling and interacting amongst guests

Cons

• depending on your guests count, it may take a while for all guests to receive their food.

• guests have to carry their own plate, may not be as elegant as some people like.

• requires larger quantities of food, as people eat more when they serve themselves.
