- Start planning early - don't wait for all guests to RSVP. Have a good idea about your venues' table options and go from there.
- Don't panic! This is a celebration not a networking event. Your guests will mingle so don't feel that you need to be strategic about where you place people.
- Seat people where you think they will be happiest and where they will enjoy their day the best.
- Do try and strike a good balance at tables - close friends, family and those who won't know that many other guests. Think of age and personality types.
- Don't put all the single people on one table!
- Put your close friends near the top table as they will most likely be the most engaged with the speeches.
