• Serving pieces (chafing dishes, platters, trays, etc.)

• Liquor, soft drinks, coolers

• Aperitifs, after-dinner drinks

• Sparkling wine or champagne

• Centerpieces (floral or otherwise)

• Glassware, stemware

• China, silverware

• Tablecloths, napkins (in the color you want)

• Tables and chairs

• Decorations

• Salt-and-pepper shakers, creamers, sugar/sweetener bowls

• Place cards (name cards)

• Hot drink stations (even if you’re having a buffet, you can choose to serve coffee at the seating tables, along with the wedding cake; if you don’t want to spring for professional waiters, hire some responsible high school students)
