Wrap the utensils in bundles inside napkins that way people just pick up a bundle rather than having to pull utensils out of three seperate containers.

@AdorntheTable Год назад

Yes ~ that's another great solution.

@blancheli95 Год назад

What great tips. Can you do another, like drinks table or dessert table

@AdorntheTable Год назад

Those are great suggestions! I'll add them to my list - thank you!!

@kathiepierro1031 Год назад

Really good common sense ideas. I never thought about putting utensils at the opposite end but it’s completely logical.

@AdorntheTable Год назад

Glad you found them helpful.

@tom_something Год назад

Yeah. How many times have we had to load our plate up with food while awkwardly palming the utensils?

@deedee1942 7 месяцев назад

Just set the utensils on the table if xtra needed you can have a storage jar with 1 of each in within reach of diner

@TeaandForgetmenots Год назад

These tips were great. As someone with allergies in the family, I particularly like the labelling suggestions.

@AdorntheTable Год назад

So glad you like it!

@katherynfisher6592 Год назад

Great idea! We are always trying to watch out for our own and others food allergies and special dietary requirements.

@aliciacoble7854 Год назад

Adding height gets problematic for those that are shorter or for the little human guests ...as for desserts , I HATE how people put a dessert table out and there's like MAYBE only enough for 6-8 guests when people have 20+ guests

@AdorntheTable Год назад

I TOTALLY agree about the dessert table! I have a HUGE sweet tooth ~ don't be stingy on the sweets!

@Ms.MD7 Месяц назад

Y'all should try a Filipino party; we have desserts for dayssssss lol it's the complete opposite 😅

@user-qz7ro5ho3i Год назад

Thank you!! This was helpful and straight forward!! I’ve never set up a table for multiple people so this made it simple 😇

@AdorntheTable Год назад

YAY!!! I hope your gathering is a success and enjoyed by all.

@brandywineblogger1411 2 месяца назад

Wow! Thank you sooo much. We're having an open house and buffet for the volunteers and board of a local museum next month. I absolutely love the idea of creating different levels for the dishes as well as small plates for the serving utensils. It will be done!

@AdorntheTable 2 месяца назад

Wonderful! So glad to hear you found it helpful. I'm sure your open house will be fantastic and enjoyed by all!!

@ashleys4652 Год назад

What about displaying the food on nicer trays rather than disposable pans? We eat with our eyes first. You can't help what people bring if it is a potluck, but if it a buffet you set up yourself with your own food then make it pretty.

@AdorntheTable Год назад

If you have nice serving trays - definitely use them! Especially if they all match or coordinate with the theme of the party.

@patiencepaintsil3050 День назад

Labelling also aids guests avoid spitting on food since it minimizes questions asked

@AdorntheTable День назад

That wasn't something I'd thought of, but another good reason to label food dishes. ❤🙂

@EllaRoseOji Год назад

Great tips! My favorite are arranging the utensils with the handles up. That is a pet peeve, and placing the condiments next to the food they go with- didn’t think of that one. Thanks for sharing. ❤

@AdorntheTable Год назад

Thanks for letting me know you liked them!

Omg! I absolutely LOVE this video. :) Thank you so much, it is extremely helpful and I will pass this information on. I truly never thought about these things before and everything you have said makes sense. I am a new subscriber and right now I've already listened to this video about five times as we are in the process of planning my daughter's bridal shower. ❤

@marvinabarquez8915 Год назад

I only have enough friends to make a buffet out of 5kg of food total. Still good to have some tips to follow.

@AdorntheTable Год назад

Glad to know you found them helpful. Thank you.

@krene8583 Год назад

I watched this to see if i was missing anything. For cultural beliefs we do things a bit different. We always use chaffing dishes to keep warm food warm so some of your ideas wont work. Its a must to have serving spoons in each individual dish and keep it slightly covered because you don't want unexpected guests getting in the food . Most importantly under no circumstances can veggies be contaminated with any meat nor any pork with the beef. When you leave utensils on the side people usually grab whatever is conveniently close and dont consider just cause you eat beef doesn't mean you eat pork. We usually also wrap individual fork w/knife or spoon in a napkin and label the container. We also put plates first utensils last and a separate table for dessert and drinks.

@AdorntheTable Год назад

Thank you for sharing your reasons for doing things a bit differently. It's very appreciated.

Do you have any videos on folding paper napkins?

@AdorntheTable Год назад

I don't, but that's a great idea. I'll look into doing one in the future.

@zizibressa4251 Год назад

Very good and useful tips. Thank you for sharing

@AdorntheTable Год назад

My pleasure 😊

@Ms.MD7 Месяц назад

Great tips esp the utensils at the end. It makes so much sense lol I always put it at the beginning and typically it gets in the way of plating food.

@AdorntheTable Месяц назад

SO glad you found it helpful! Thanks for letting me know ~ much appreciated. ❤

@maxinejacobson4006 Год назад

I’ve used most of your techniques for years, but, especially since COVID, great idea for the utensils. Also love the idea of the raising boxes. Did try something similar years ago but the thing I used was too big and out of proportion to my serving table, so never tried it again. Next time! Thank you 🤓

@AdorntheTable Год назад

Welcome! Let me know if you try using raised boxes next time ~ and how it works out.

@nush8528 4 месяца назад

What happens if the utensils fall out as you grab one ...why put it in a jar instead of a cutlery box so it lies flat rather than standing up that way no risk of touching other utensils and nothing falls out since its all lying flat. And foil trays look a bit tacky so I would use chaffing dishes and platters and bowls.napkins need to also go on a plate or napkin holder so it looks nicer and condiments need to be in a bowl or something not the bottles as the packaging makes it look ugly and ruins the overall table aesthetics

@AdorntheTable 3 месяца назад

Thank you for your questions and comments. I appreciate it. This video is focused on what people do wrong and what not to do. Yes, much of what you mentioned would make the buffet MUCH more attractive, and I totally agree with. Maybe I'll make a companion video on how to make a buffet table attractive with simple changes. 😀

@mariaolker 5 месяцев назад

Awesome tips! I especially hate when I see the utensils at the beginning of the line. I need hands-free to do stuff, not hold utensils.

@AdorntheTable 5 месяцев назад

So glad to hear you found it helpful! And that you too don't like to see utensils at the beginning of the line. 😀

@nivegoli Год назад

Thanks so much for sharing. These are really great tips. I totally get why we need to put the utensils facing down, however this works when it's a see through container like the one you are using. If it's not a see through container, the guest may need to pull out each one to figure out which one is which. In that case, it maybe better to label the containers.

@AdorntheTable Год назад

Yes, if you can't see through your utensil containers, labeling them is a good idea.

@nuniobinez4066 Год назад

Or better yet preset the utensils/napkins on the eating tables. People don't like to juggle things while holding a plate of food. Also, put the cold items first and hot items last, that way it will be that much hotter when your guests get to their seats. Your welcome.

@AdorntheTable Год назад

Yes, depending on the formalness of your event and if you're table seating allows it, having the utensils and napkins already on the table is best.
