to buffet or not to buffet

I have about 200 guests and I am struggling on making the decision between having a sit down dinner vs. a buffet dinner of course there would be more selections for a buffet and the sit down would be more expensive....I just want to know what everyones preference is when they go to a wedding....do you hate buffets don't mind or prefer buffets!!!!!!

I much prefer buffets as weddings as a guest because I'm a picky eater and it is great for me to be able to put together my own plate.  We are doing a buffet at our reception as well, and I am super excited about it - moreso than most other aspects of the wedding!

I actually prefer family style over all.  It's kind of like a sit down.  There are usually two main course options and sides.  They're brought to the tables and the guests serve themselves at their own table.

I prefer to go to a buffet style. This is what we are doing as well. Our wedding is less formal and when I think of a sit down dinner I think Very formal wedding. we are also doing this as then we can prepare our own food before hand and not have to pay servers.

We had buffet style at our wedding. I prefer it over sit-down at weddings.

Both FI and I prefer Buffet over plate, we're not big fans of someone picking put my plate for us

thank you all so much for your opinions and input...i actually posted this under reception ideas also and it was more of a 50/50 split there...it seems that the outdoor wedding theme is less casual and so buffet is a more natural choice....i am having silverware at the tables along with napkins and glasses which would be less to carry which was a big point....also i may have more of a selection for the buffet which was also a good point...THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE!!!

we are having a VERY casual wedding and are doing a BBQ/buffet dinner. it fit 'us' thats what we like, so thats what we went with. we are using disposable plates as well, that are some very nice looking ones i found.
