How to Make Buffet Markers for your Table.

1. Gather as many stones or light-colored items to write on that you will need for creating your buffet markers.

2. Take your list of food dishes you will be serving and write each one on each individual Stone.

3. 

   Set the stones in front of each dish so that they are visible and easy for the guests to read.

Tips & Warnings

• Use bright-colored waterproof markers to display your dishes.
• Place the stone in front of the dish. This will take the guesswork away from guests who are trying to decide what food to choose.

• Make sure you purchase stones or cards that are sealed so that the marker will not run when you write on it.
