Whether you are having a buffet or table service, your guest will be using silverware. You could just lay them next to the dishes, but why not have some fun with them. There are a multitude of fun ways to both display large amounts of silverware and flatware, as well as to accent each guest's set individually.
One easy, and functional way to wrap silverware is simply wrapped in a colorful or patterned napkin and tied with twine or ribbon. Small strips of fabric, lace, or yarn can add the same amount of detail, but in smaller doeses. Making little pockets out of burlap or paper can be a fun easy way
to contain silverware for the guests as well. Just because you are having a buffet or stations, doesn't mean you have to lose the fun details. Think about how you could display the silverware at each station or even on each table. Unique containers like teapots, vintage tins, or glassware can be spread out to where each type of silverware is needed most, or pushed together to make a stronger
statement. Items like vintage suitcases, boxes, wicker wine bottle carriers, are some other fun options.
Just have fun with it. It doesn't have to be expensive, utilize what you already have and make it your own. As always, check out other great ideas on the "Make It Your Own" Design Feature Board on MGE's Pinterest Page.
