Table setting for buffet dinner

Will the venue or whoever is catering set this up for you?

I'm doing a buffet as well. I'm leaving the plates by the buffet on the actual table I will have a table cloth and overlay (obvs) and cloth napkin folded with silverware on top. I'm putting paper napkins near the buffet as well if people prefer.

I'm doing a buffet too. Because I've had to rent my dinnerware I am doing the complete place setting at the table. I figure/Hope that way people won't be tempted to grab 3 or 4 plates. Maybe.

We are doing a buffet. At the table settings will be chargers, napkins, and silverware. You can have the actual plates at the buffet.

My cater is doing this. Setup and takedown. See if your cater and/or venue can take care of it

I'm going to have the charger plates, napkins and silverware at the table and will have the dinner plates at the buffet.

Is the starter also buffet?

Place setting includes napkin. Plate should be at the buffet station.

The napkin can be used in a number of ways to fill the space.

Plates at the buffet station

Plates on the buffet....napkins and silverware at each place setting. :-)
