Setting the table
We are having a bridal shower at a winery. We are just having wine and cold appetizers. The appetizers will be on a "side table." There will be 4 circular tables for the guests to sit and eat/mingle. I found some cute scrap book paper to use as placemats and was wondering if I could "set the table?" Put a plate, silverware, and napkin at each place setting. I want to find a cute napking ring. Or, should I just put the plates and napkins at the table with the food? Guests would have to take their plate up to the food table to get the food. This is a way to save space and declutter the food table.
What is the etiquette for setting the table with a buffet? Any thoughts?
Anyone can be cool, but awesome takes practice!

If you were having a full lunch or dinner, I'd say setting the tables would be ok. But since you're just having cold apps and you want people to mingle, I would leave the tables open and just do centerpieces. I feel like if you set the table (even with everything but plates), people will feel like that's their seat and they have to stay there. If you're ok with that, go for it. If you want people to mingle more, I'd leave things more open.
Even if you don't set the table you could still set out a basket of napkins/silverware rolled with napkin rings or something.
I have a set of appetizer plates that have a notch in them to hold a wine glass. Something like this... Those would be cute for a shower at a winery!
