Mini Caprese Skewers

WHY SET THE TABLE WITH MINI CAPRESE SKEWERS

1. If you don’t have the table set, having everyone sit together, then 2 or 3 people may end

up talking together the entire evening, not mingling with others.

2. The table is the place where everyone gets to contribute, and everyone listens.

3. For someone shy or new, the table is a safe place to not have to talk much (listening in!), but still get to know others.

4. The host can ask questions and keep the conversation flowing in a positive and meaningful way.

5. The host can go around the table and ask questions, to get everyone involved.

6. You can still plan a casual buffet, having everyone serve themselves, then bringing their dish back to the table.
