Layered Paper Food Labels
Labels add a nice finishing touch to your holiday spread and are a great way to tie your buffet to your decorations. Besides letting guests know the name of the dish before them, labels can also declare whether or not the food contains allergens or any undesired ingredients. With words and/or icons on the labels, you can be considerate to the dietary concerns of your guests without having to answer the same questions again and again. Depending on your guest list and menu, you may wish to indicate if a dish is vegetarian, vegan, Kosher, gluten-free or if it contains nuts, halal meat, dairy, or shellfish.
