Are you planning a party or family celebration? In addition to the menu and entertainment, you also need to think about how to properly seat the guests so that everyone is comfortable. There are some basic rules to consider when placing invitees.
Instructions
Step 1
Usually the owner and hostess sit opposite each other. It is important that the hostess of the house can see all the guests, but at the same time she should be able to freely get up from the table at any time, without disturbing anyone.
Step 2
If the reason for the holiday is someone's birthday, then the honorable place belongs to the birthday person. Parents are seated next to him, then relatives and friends.
Step 3
If there are several very active people in the company who like to entertain the audience and be the center of attention, then the right decision would be to seat them in opposite parts of the table.
Step 4
You should not place a single person next to a couple in love. The best option not to offend anyone is to have a pair (existing or potential) for each invitee.
Step 5
Try to seat guests with their interests and personalities in mind. Unsuccessful landing option: the neighborhood of a cheeky young man and a shy woman, as well as two shy and taciturn people.
Step 6
Seated business partners or businessmen working in similar fields can spoil the holiday mood or make them bored by constantly discussing their work moments.
Step 7
If the event will be attended by foreign citizens, also do not sit them together, pay them a little more attention when serving and communicating, take into account their degree of proficiency in a common language for all.
Step 8
If a large celebration is planned with a large number of guests (anniversary or wedding), then it will be appropriate to make seating name cards for guests in advance. They are needed so that each guest sat down in the place designated for him. You can put a seating plan for guests at the entrance to the banquet hall, and put cards with their names on the tables.
