place a stack of plates at 1 end of the buffet table so that guests pick them up first. choose plates with some heft (avoid flimsy paper ones) and a substantial lip: food will be less likely to slide off., food comes next. arrange it at various heights so that guests can see and reach everything with ease. shallow bowls and basic platters are the most user-friendly choices., roll silverware inside napkins , secure them with a bit of twine, and pile them toward the end of the buffet, which cuts down on the balancing act. use sleek flatware, as more decorative styles are often too bulky to roll up neatly.
