I saw a short video on You Tube where they suggest to buy disposable foil muffin tins.

 

After dinner you set these out near the food and welcome guests to fill up the cups with the food they want ro take home and have foil on hand to over them up. It looked so efficient!

 

Please share any tips for the day you have...

Have you seen muffin tins today? I bake muffins weekly with muffin tins. They are very small. Not much you could put into them. Maybe that's the point. Don't take muchSmiley Happy

@ahoymate Muffin tins are the size they were back in the 1960's.  Back then we didn't have muffins the size of your head the way we do today.  Woman Embarassed

I bought three sizes of deli containers and bento boxes for our guests to help themselves.  I also supplied inexpensive totes for them to carry their leftovers home.

All the regular muffin size tins ive looked up and yes that in cludes disposable are a 1 cup.  With 6 cups per tin. That is 6 cups of food...I think that is plenty and if the want more they can take more than one tin.

 

I like how it keeps things separated, can be reheated easily, some come with lids, no need to return them back to me, cheaper than plastuc take out, more sturdy than styrofoam or paper.

@LizzieInSRQ - Sorry, somehow DH and I started calling them bento boxes but they're really just disposable plastic food prep containers.   I get them at Costco.  The deli containers and cheap tote bags came from Amazon.
