To give you here all the rules that govern the establishment of a formal seating plan would be much too long and tedious. Nevertheless, making a seating plan can be a real headache, so here are a few tips! First and foremost: always keep in mind that the objective is for all guests to have a great evening. To do this, you need to make sure that everyone has a good time talking to each other over a good meal 🥂 You can place guests by affinity or by age while taking care not to isolate anyone, alternating if possible men and women and separating the couples except the engaged and married of less than one year 💔 If you know that one of your guests is particularly sensitive to propriety, give him or her a place of honor: to the right of the host for a woman; to the right of the hostess for a man. The latter are placed in the center of the table, facing each other in France and each at one end of the table in the Anglo-Saxon countries.
