Seating your guests
Guests will need to know which table they are seated at so they don’t have to walk around every table to find their place. This is usually achieved by displaying a table seating chart prominently at the entrance to the venue.
Table numbers are placed on tables to display the number or name of the table. If you have a large number of tables, it might be a good idea to display a floor plan to show where the tables are situated.
If you are feeling creative, you can give your table names instead of numbers. Numbered tables are less work and easier for your guests to find if they are laid our logically. Named tables add a bit more atmosphere and are particularly effective if you have a theme running through your celebration.
Ideas for table names:
flowers
gemstones
your favourite countries
cities you visited
your favourite movies
famous couples
wine cultivars

We were recently very proud to be requested by Aleit to take part in the Live at Your Table event in Stellenbosch. Aleit had to present a workshop on party trends and decided to go for a paper theme.
As guests received on arrival a vintage handmade paper flower – which the guests loved. One of the tables was wrapped in textile pattern paper topped with doily place settings and mini milk cartons with the menu, guest name and vintage artwork printed onto it.
We always enjoy working for such a creative event and look forward to the next one!
