Size Up the Seating

Determining how and if guests will be seated is an important step in planning your party decorations. Be sure to avoid inviting more guests than your table or location can comfortably handle.

Seating checklist:

• How many guests will be attending your party?

• How many guests will your current dining table seat comfortably?

• Is there enough extra space in the room for guests be able to move comfortably to socialize?

• Does it make more sense to seat your guests at several smaller tables rather than one large table?

• Is there enough space for drink or hors d'oeuvre stations?

• Can you do a buffet in place of a seated affair?

• Do you have an outdoor living area such as a patio that could be utilized, weather permitting?
