[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^PP again with the aunt/uncle who did this. They did have everyone going in and out of the same entry to the kitchen, but it just worked. We also didn't eat until everyone was seated, though the people who got to the table earlier inevitably snuck bites (grace had already been said anyway) Yes, it took a little longer, but your passing dishes around the table situation probably takes a longer than you realize anyway. It's family, and I assume no one is going to push anyone out of the say, so it'll somehow just work out I suspect. It always did for us growing up with a very similar set up and number of people.[/quote]

Well yes, it takes time to pass all the dishes, but you're socializing with people during the time that you're passing, and you can start eating before all the food is passed.

I'm not saying our way is better, just that since I haven't been in a buffet situation with a group and house this size, I can't picture how it works. [/quote]
If it’s going to be so cramped or logistically difficult that people are stressed out about it, then you should just take the advice from the other thread re your relative. Recognize that she is being controlling, unreasonable, and ridiculous and that her insecurities are not your problem. This is a good opportunity for you to work on not placating difficult people who make inappropriate demands. [/quote]
