Now you have to &#8220;force&#8221; all the guests to return to their tables, sit down, and wait for each course to be served one by one. Some guests might not even be hungry at that exact moment, yet they are obliged to sit there. And what if someone gets hungry later\u2014say, at 10 PM\u2014but there\u2019s no food available?    <\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For these very reasons, you can replace classic weddings with sequences with a relaxed variant in the form of a buffet table. Thanks to the buffet table, <strong>your guests will be able to eat whatever they want<\/strong> whenever they want, and you will automatically introduce a certain amount of casualness to your wedding. <\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-921\" src=\"https:\/\/www.isaidyees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ab0198a62b3a5c238845853988fb1fea.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>&#13;\n<figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/563372234636995556\/\">https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/563372234636995556\/<\/a><\/figcaption>&#13;\n<\/figure>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All newlyweds want their guests to have a good time and the dance floor to be full; however, there will always be some guests who prefer to stay seated at their tables. A buffet offers them a<strong> great opportunity to stretch their legs and perhaps chat with someone while selecting their food<\/strong>. <\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An additional advantage of the buffet is the<strong> lower cost:<\/strong><\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Extensive staffing is not required \u2013 the catering staff can be kept to a minimum, with their sole role being to replenish food as supplies run low.<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. You don&#8217;t have to take catering in portions, by which we mean the price of the menu per person, but in kilos, which again reduces the cost.<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. You can use any leftovers for lunch the next day\u2014in other words, you don&#8217;t waste food.<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-922\" src=\"https:\/\/www.isaidyees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/9abb920cf9788a72c43ad226ee2150dc.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>&#13;\n<figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/196117758762558673\/\">https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/196117758762558673\/<\/a><\/figcaption>&#13;\n<\/figure>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can arrange a variety of food on the buffet table, along with warmers to keep hot dishes at the right temperature. You might be concerned that outdoor settings often attract <strong>insects<\/strong> that could ruin the food, but a simple trick<strong> lets you handle this in no time<\/strong>.
