Buffet Tables Centered Around a Party Theme

Utilizing a Buffet table at your themed party can save you a lot of time and effort while still giving guests some decent food to snack on. Better yet you can make a party themed buffet table to accent your party theme.

Everything on the table and the table itself is fair game in accenting a party theme. Solid wood tables fit in well with a rustic style party or an outdoors party. The table cloth should always, always match your party theme. Its one of the first things your guests eyes with light on, besides the food. Pick out a soft pastel or white for weddings, baby showers, and Mis Quince parties. At the Luau party you can pick a bright colorful cloth with tropical flowers on it. Who says that a table cloth has to be a table cloth? You can easily make use of pieces of fabric you have lying around. A bed sheet in the appropriate theme will do just as well as that expensive tablecloth and guests don't need to know the difference.

Food is an important accent to the party theme. If you are having a BBQ party, you don't want to put out a roast. You want to put out BBQ. Same for a Cinco de Mayo themed party, you would put out a range and variety of Mexican style food. A taco buffet is great for this type of party theme with a large guest list and it’s easy on the budget. Just think about the types of foods you naturally associate with your party theme. If it’s a Casino party, put out alcoholic drinks, pretzels, beer nuts and other foods. Use the types of foods that might be found on a buffet in Las Vegas. How about fried chicken drumsticks?

There are plenty of other decorative accents that you can place on your party themed buffet table. Take the silverware and wrap up sets in colored napkins then tie them together with something that matches your party theme. Buy a bunch of cheap stretchy seashell bracelets and wrap those around the napkins at a Beach Party. That way guests also get a small favor they can take home in the form of the bracelet. Utilize everything you can think of for your party themed buffet table, candlesticks, centerpieces, salt and pepper shakers, dishes, and even flower vases to make the most of your buffet table at that next themed party.
