Definition: Family Style service comes from the way families traditionally dined at home, emphasizing togetherness and sharing. Think sitting around the dinner table with your loved ones, passing platters of food around and sharing a meal together. This style is perfect for a relaxed feel but also invites guests to have conversations and brings an intimate feel to your reception.
Practical Use + Tips: I recommend a minimum of 2 protein options and 2-3 sides when choosing your menu, having more variety gives your guest the ability to choose some of everything.
A few other things to consider:
- This gives you the option to pick and choose a range of food to serve, pick all your favorites! (but make sure they are easy to pass and serve)
- Consider the table arrangement, you want to make sure there is enough room on the table for the platters and bowls alongside those centerpieces.
