Write one idea per rule. These are rules that work well, grouped by what they do.
Keep people apart
- Keep Jake Miller and Sophie Turner apart
- Don't seat Uncle Robert with the Morgans
- Tom and his ex-wife at different tables
Keep people together
- Grace, Lily and Ava at the same table
- Keep each family together
- University friends together
- Keep each group together
Children and families
- Kids next to parents
- Put all children at table 12
Near or away from places in the room
These need the area on your floor plan. See Dance floor, bar and other areas.
- Young friends near the dance floor
- Grandparents away from the speakers
- Anna near the entrance
At a specific table
- Bride's parents at the head table
- Emily and Jack at table 3
- The Carter family at table Lisbon
Tips for rules that work
- Use names as they are in your guest list. A unique first name is enough.
- Notes help: a guest with the note "grandmother" is found by a rule about "grandma".
- Mark children with the Child box, so rules about kids know who they are.
- If a rule is marked in orange, read the reason under it. See When a rule cannot be used.
