Hi, so I bought these really cute paper watercolor plates thinking we would serve the food family style at the table, but the caterer told me it has to be buffet style where everyone goes and lines up. Can i still put my cute plates at the tables and just tell everyone to bring them to the buffet, or will that be too confusing for the guests? I was planning to put them over top a record as the charger (finace is a DJ and has 40,000 records, so shedding 100 will be no problem). The plan was white table cloth, black record as charger, watercolor paper-plate over that, napkin with fork &knife wrapped inside with a little heart tag with a funny hip hop lyric about food. The whole look is off if the watercolor plate isn't there.
I thought about buying a bunch more cheaper paper plates and putting them at the buffet station, but that seems silly too, then they have to put the other plate overtop the watercolor plate when they get to the table. Blah, it's too silly to even talk about with anyone, but to me it feels like it matters a lot.
Any input would be helpful, thanks!
