Frequently asked questions

Do you need a seating plan for a party?
For a casual stand-up party, no — but for any sit-down meal, a seating plan saves a great deal of stress. It avoids the awkward moment when guests hover not knowing where to sit, lets you seat people who'll get on well together, and quietly heads off any tensions by keeping certain people apart. Practical touches help too: seat anyone who'll pop out often (parents of young children, or anyone needing the loo frequently) near the door, plan where high chairs go, and note dietary needs by seat so the right plate reaches the right person. Make place cards to match, and you remove all the arrival-time confusion in one go.
