How to Host a Buffet Style Dinner Party

Episode 61: How to Host a Buffet Style Dinner Party

 

In this episode of the Happy Hostess Podcast, the host, Kristie LaLonde answers a listener’s question about the logistics of a buffet style dinner party for 12. Lydia S. from Summit, New Jersey asks, “Could you do an episode on managing the logistics of parties for 10-12 people? In the past when we have had parties my husband and I are always running around serving people so we don’t have enough time to have real conversations.  I’d like some tips on letting guests self-serve at larger dinner parties. In particular, my questions are: 1) for cocktails: how and where to set up a bar and hors d'oeuvres so guests can help themselves and 2) for dinner: could you talk about logistics for serving everyone the same thing vs setting up a buffet table? How can I prevent the food from getting cold when it’s a buffet?  Thank you!” Tune in to the episode to hear answers  these questions and more!
