The seating plan is a critical organisational task of planning the reception. It becomes an increasingly difficult juggling act as complications arise, people drop out and new guests are added. The seating plan must never be left to the last minute.

It should be decided if there will be a traditional top table and whether young and old will be mixed. People's personalities, history and interests should be considered when placing individuals.
