OMG everything looks sooo delicious! Sometimes I wonder if I should have decided on a sit down, plated dinner instead of a BBQ buffet.

jtherrie- Thanks so much!! We are excited!

I think it depends on the mood you're going for...this is slightly more formal. I think if you want to promote mingling and interaction than a buffet is great!! We debated between this and doing stations from around the world but b/c of space, we decided on plated with passed apps for the cocktail. It's def more pricey to go plated too so it's not always the best budget route. : /
