The necessary conditions for a buffet are probably these, so what are the details that need to be paid attention to?

1. Floral decorations

The height of the floral decorations on the table should not be too high, so as not to block the eyes of the guests and hinder conversation. Compared with a square or rectangular dining table, it is enough to use a central floral arrangement for each round dining table. If the central floral decoration is larger, the size of the dining table must also be increased proportionally to provide sufficient dining space for guests. In addition to using flowers and plants, you can also add exquisite candlesticks, black and white candle cups and other elements to the central decoration of the dining table. This will make the dining table more lively and interesting, especially when decorating a square or rectangular dining table, because these two dining tables require careful decoration. Much larger than a round dining table.

2. Tablecloth

For square or rectangular dining tables, the tablecloth can be laid flat directly on the dining table, so that the four sides of the tablecloth hang down to form natural folds, leaving space for the guests' feet. Provide ample space for activities. Although laying the tablecloth flat on the table is the preferred method, staggered square tablecloths can bring a layered and rich visual effect to the dining table.

3. Seats

A distance of 60 centimeters should be maintained between the guest seats and the dining table to facilitate guests to sit. If calculated to accommodate the same number of guests, a square or rectangular dining table It will take up more space than a round dining table. A round dining table with an area of ??3 square meters can accommodate 10 guests, while a rectangular dining table requires 6 square meters. A round dining table makes it easier for guests to chat and makes them feel more intimate.

Tables and seats should be carefully arranged to match the event, the number of guests that each table can accommodate should be carefully calculated, and the male and female guests at each table should be arranged to sit crosswise.

4. Utensils

Try not to choose porcelain and cutlery with exaggerated patterns and muddy colors, because they will make the food dull and dull. The dishes can arouse the appetite of the guests. Boldly try to mix porcelain and goblets to make the dining table more emotional. Use wine glasses filled with black and white solution to coordinate with the colors of table decorations and tablecloths, and pour the wine into crystal clear goblets to create a noble and elegant style.

5. Cards

In the arrangement of the banquet, the most easily overlooked thing is the card. When allocating tables, you must be very familiar with the total number of tables, so that you can accurately calculate and prepare sufficient seat cards and menus for each guest. Seat cards should be placed in the most visible place in front of each seat. The menu can be placed in the napkin on the dinner plate or placed on the upper left side of the cutlery.

The buffet is different from our traditional way of dining. You can move around freely during the meal, which can better promote communication among diners. A high-quality buffet can play a better social role.
