[quote=Anonymous]We are like a few other posters. We do a formal Thanksgiving dinner with everyone dressed up, crystal, china, linens, the whole enchilada. We generally have 25-35 people. We switch between my house and my sister's house but we do the same type of setup either way. We always set up a buffet table. It just works so much better because there are so many dishes. It would take forever to serve family style because there are so many side dishes. I would explain the logistics to your MIL. Serving 15-20 dishes family style is very difficult. It is much better to have a buffet. We will put gravy, rolls and butter dishes on the table. I generally carve the turkey in the kitchen and then it is laid out on a platter for easy serving. Sometimes I think that people don't understand that buffets can be elegant as well as functional. We use beautiful linens, silver serving pieces and decorations on our buffet table. It looks lovely and serves a good purpose.[/quote]
