Order of tables for the buffet?

Bethany, on December 20, 2017 at 20:47 Posted in Wedding reception 0 24
Hey everyone!
For your dinner buffet, how did you decide the order of who went first? I'm trying to think of creative ways to do this!

*we will be first or served not entirely sure yet and our parents will obviously go first.

    A lot of pop culture, movies, tv, some canadian history and geography, music, some stuff the older guests will get, some the younger guests will get. googling trivia questions was a good start Smiley smile

    The DJ would stop the song part way through to start the next one so length wasn't an issue

    Yeah I would do that but I want to make it a fun and interactive way of calling people up to get their dinner.

    Our wedding party will hopefully be served right at the table so I believe they won't be an issue but our parents will probably be the first in line (as they will be doing speeches as well). Good idea about the kids though!

    That's good! I'll just have to make sure our songs aren't too long or too short! And talk to my DJ about it

    I would suggest getting the wedding party and people with children up pretty fast. People who need to make speeches should get a chance to eat and digest a little before getting up to speak.

    I am glad everyone likes my idea I thought it would be something different than picking table numbers out of a hat.

    I found one of my songs that will be played for a table to get food you guys should check out this version of Hallelujah by Celtic Thunder ! It is soooo good Smiley smile

    I was at a wedding where they did this. It worked really well. The DJ kept an eye on the line, and once it was almost to the end, they played the next song so people weren't standing around too long waiting.

    I've been to a wedding where the groom was a fireman, so they asked fire related questions and whoever can answer, their table went up first. The only caution is that it takes a lot longer than expected, so come up with a system to make it quick. I really like the song idea

    You could try incorporating a game somehow; like trivia about the couple or something!

    Each table will have a card with title of song when the song comes on everyone at the table will go up. Just make sure song choices are obvious ones that everyone will know.
