First of all, a formal or large banquet

Seats are usually arranged for formal or large banquets, but only some guests are arranged, and some only arrange tables or sit casually.

1, banquet seats are mainly arranged according to the protocol order of the attendees, and at the same time, political relations, language use, religious beliefs, majors, etc. should be comprehensively considered.

2. At the same table, the height of the seat depends on the distance from the host's seat, with the right high and the left low.

3. For banquets with more than two tables, the position of the first master of other tables can be the same as that of the master of the main table, or it can be the main position facing the main table.

If the status of the guest of honor is higher than that of the host, in order to show respect for him, you can put the guest of honor in the host's position, while the host sits in the guest of honor, and the second host is on the left of the guest of honor.

5. If there is someone with higher status than the host among the attendees, the person with higher status can sit in the main seat, and the host can sit on his left.

6. When there are female guests, China is used to arranging female guests together, that is, the guest of honor sits on the upper right of the host, and the wife of the guest of honor sits on the upper right of the hostess. According to the general international practice, couples are not arranged to sit together. Generally, men and women sit together, subject to the hostess, with the guest of honor at the upper right of the hostess and the wife of the guest of honor at the upper right of the host.

7. The guest of honor brought his wife, but the host's wife couldn't attend. Usually, other women with equal status can be invited as the second host. If there are no women with proper status present, the host and guest couples can also be arranged on the left and right sides of the host.

8. If a long table is used, when there are 6 people, 10 or 14 people at a table, the host and hostess can sit in the traditional positions at both ends of the table. If there are 8 people at a table or 12 people, the host and hostess should sit at both ends of the long table when taking office.

9. If a round table is used, the interpreter is usually arranged on the right side of the host and guest; When using a long table, it can also be arranged opposite the host and guest. When the translator is not on the table, he sits behind the guest of honor and the host.

Second, a small or informal dinner.

When entertaining guests for dinner, be sure to judge the correct position of the upper and lower positions. The seats below are the upper seats: the window seat, the seat inside, and the seat overlooking the beautiful scenery.

When arranging seats, please sit down first; When you sit at the same table with your boss, ask him to sit in the seat next to you. You should stand on the left side of the chair and pull it away with your right hand without making any noise.

Also, when booking the venue, tell the store to book the location, not next to the toilet or in the uneven corner.

2. How to arrange the seats for the wedding banquet?

Although the seating arrangement of the wedding is not the most important issue in the wedding preparation, if it is not properly arranged, it is easy for the wedding that should win applause to have the opposite effect: the wedding atmosphere is embarrassing, the guests do not enjoy themselves enough, and even bring unnecessary misunderstandings and contradictions. Therefore, when preparing for the wedding, we must carefully determine the number of guests, study the types of guests and arrange seats for each guest, so as to ensure the smooth progress of our wedding.

The first step is to estimate the number of guests.

The initial number of guests is usually determined when booking the venue. Newcomers generally have to consider two factors: one is their ideal wedding atmosphere, and the other is the size of the venue. According to the former, plan whether the guests you invite are mainly relatives or classmates and colleagues of the same age, and according to the latter, determine the number of people you need to invite. When determining the number of people to be invited at the beginning, it is best to reserve 10% space in case the guests can't come.

Step two, make a list and send an invitation letter.

According to the initial number of guests determined in the first step, the relatives, friends, classmates and colleagues of both men and women who need to be invited are listed in detail by category, and invitations are sent out 1~2 months before the wedding reception. Although the network communication is very developed now, it is more polite and sincere to use written invitations. Mind you, don't forget to remind the guests to reply to your time in a gentle tone in the wedding invitation. The popular "blessing card" reply method is very good.

The third step is to determine the approximate number of people.

After issuing the invitation card 1~2 weeks, you can start to confirm the number of people. Distinguish guests according to three types: exclude those who can't come for some reason, put a tick before determining the names to attend, put a question mark before some ambiguous names, and indicate the deadline that the other party may determine next to them. Then count the number of guests by category, and take the number of people who can definitely attend the wedding as the base, with an extra 10% to prepare for the specific arrangement.

The fourth step is to preliminarily arrange the seating table.

In the first seating arrangement, the guests who are sure to attend and those who may attend should be considered. The general arrangement rule is to arrange the relatives and friends of both men and women in the left and right directions of the wedding venue with the red carpet where the newcomers enter as the boundary. Relatives and elders at home are arranged in the inner circle near the main table according to custom. Classmates and friends who are the same as newcomers are usually noisy, but they are arranged in the far outer circle. This can not only show respect for the elders, but also create a lively wedding atmosphere.

Step 5: Add the number of confirmed people.

About two weeks before the wedding, the couple will launch a final offensive against all the invited guests. Please call again to confirm whether you are a guest who promised to attend before or a friend who needs to be considered. Although this is troublesome, it is a key link in whether the seating arrangement is perfect. On the one hand, it is out of courtesy, on the other hand, it is also to prevent temporary changes. Make a list of final confirmation, and then reserve a table or so as a temporary shift for the day.

Step 6: Determine the table number and location.

According to the final guest list, fine-tune the original table arranged in step 4. When arranging the seat number, consider some numerical taboos, such as 4, 13, which are unlucky in the eyes of many elders and had better be removed. The number of men and women should be balanced. 2~9 is the man's table number. 10~ 15 is the woman's table number, which will cause her some unhappiness. It is best to arrange the seat number of each guest, which is not only a respect for the guests, but also can prevent the embarrassment that the guests can't find a seat on that day.

"The Witch of Camille" tip:

Skills for arranging seats:

1. Lawn wedding: If you choose outdoor wedding, especially garden and lawn wedding, you should know in advance which guests are seriously allergic to pollen, and be careful not to arrange these guests around the garden. In addition, don't arrange seats with children near lakes, depressions, highways, slopes and other places with potential safety hazards.

2. Hotel Wedding: The seats at the wedding banquet are related to the traditional customs of China people, so we can't be careless. If the arrangement is the most reasonable, we can discuss it with both parents in advance. It is best to have a seat label on the dining table so that guests can find their seats accurately.

3. Special restaurant: arrange single men and women to sit at the same table and arrange some team competitions to help them become friends and make good friends the protagonists of the next wedding.

"Takeaway" for the wedding banquet: It is suggested to adopt a free vertical dining table in addition to the main table, which is convenient for guests to freely combine and make more friends.

3. How to arrange wedding seats

The arrangement of wedding seats is very important. Let me introduce two kinds of wedding seats to you.

If the guest is a colleague, friend or business partner of the newcomer, he should greet the elder first, and try to arrange a deskmate if he is familiar with it. Unfamiliar people should be arranged at each table, and it will be more polite to take care of them in time. Please arrange them in the middle of the whole banquet area. If the guests are relatives of parents, parents' friends and colleagues should have their own separate seats. Parents' elders, sisters and brothers can be arranged at the same table or adjacent table in the same area, which is convenient for parents A to take care of, and parents can simply arrange their own seats.

Usually, the parents table of the bride and groom should be close to the main table, on both sides of the red carpet, which is more convenient for guests on the same side to communicate in the same area. If the guests are classmates and friends of the couple, most of them are the best friends of the couple, so there is no need to say hello deliberately. You will wait patiently for that couple to appear. You might as well arrange them at the last few tables in the banquet area, which will not only make them enjoy themselves, but also avoid the influence of drinking on the whole wedding process. This part also includes the staff who help.

When arranging seats, you can ask the food and beverage department to provide a table map and number or name each table, so that all aspects can be taken care of. Prepare several copies of this dining table map and the guest list printed according to the table, so as to facilitate the guests to sit down and show the host's carefulness. Second, the layout of the main table There must be a wedding reception after the wedding of the couple. Whether it's a Chinese banquet or a western buffet, there must be a plan to arrange guests' seats.

This will not only help the guests find their place, but also make people feel that your wedding is orderly. Write a table card after the seating plan is completed.

Don't write too formally on the desk card, and don't take the title of' madam' or' madam'. Be sure to compare the table with the guest seating plan to ensure that no guests are left out.

At the entrance of the wedding banquet, there should be a special person at the sign-in desk to guide the guests to their seats or post a seat map indicating the guest's name and table number, so that the guests can find their seats quickly. Seat name plates should be placed on the main table of the wedding banquet, and other tables can be left out.

At a very formal wedding, if you want to number a table so that guests can introduce each other, you can also put a name tag in front of his seat. The main table is the core of the wedding banquet, and it is essential in the wedding banquet.

At the main table are the parents, elders, leaders and witnesses of the couple. The number of main tables depends on the number of people. It can be one or two.

The main table is more prominent than other tables, and its decoration is more elegant, but the decorations should not be too high, so as not to block the guests' sight. There are many ways to arrange the seats at the main table. Here are some.

1. The bride sits in the center of the main table facing everyone. The groom sits on the bride's left, his father sits on the bride's right, his mother sits on the groom's father's left, his mother sits on the bride's father's left, and his parents and elders sit opposite the bride. The witness sits next to the elder, and the distinguished guests sit next to the witness. Second, if the couple doesn't sit down, the groom's father sits in the middle of the main table, with the bride's father on his left and the bride's mother on her left. The elders sit next to the bride's father, the witness sits next to the bride's mother, and the distinguished guests sit next to the witness. Thirdly, if the bride's family is too big to arrange a main table, two main tables can be arranged for both parents (both married brothers and sisters can arrange them at the main table)

Fourth, according to some customs, the parents and elders of both husband and wife can also be divided into two tables according to gender. Behind the main table is the dining table of relatives of the new family, on the left are relatives, colleagues and friends of the groom, and on the right are relatives, colleagues and friends of the bride-to-be.

How to arrange wedding seats is very particular.

Seating arrangement of guests at a main table When your wedding is relatively small, or there are not many elders and VIPs, you can arrange a main table. At this time, parents, elders, VIPs and wedding witnesses are arranged at the main table, and other guests are arranged in the order of leaders, colleagues, business partners, classmates and friends.

Guest seating arrangement for two main tables When your wedding is large, it is more grand to arrange two main tables. It is suggested that the main table be arranged near the stage and on both sides of the passage, so that the balanced and symmetrical layout can better highlight the status of the VIP table, and the two main tables are relatively parallel, giving people a sense of harmony.

1. Making a seating chart In order to make the wedding look orderly and show the taste of the newlyweds, Sarah suggests that you accurately count the number and names of the guests at the wedding, and make a seating chart with the names and table numbers of the guests before the wedding, so that the guests can find their seats quickly. At the same time, you need to arrange 1 friends who are familiar with you to be ushers, so.

3. Make table cards and name labels. Seat name plates should be placed on the main table of the wedding banquet, and other tables can be left out. But if your wedding is large and formal, I suggest that you also make a name tag to prevent too many guests from causing confusion, and at the same time, it is convenient for guests to get to know each other.

4. Reasonable arrangement of children's seats. If there are many children among your guests, it is suggested that you arrange a centralized area for children to play with their parents, which will not disturb other guests and facilitate the distribution of suitable dishes and diets to children. Naughty children don't stay in their seats all the time during a wedding banquet that lasts for hours. They need to go in and out of the bathroom or outdoor space frequently. Therefore, the children's seats should be as close as possible to the exit, which is convenient for entry and exit and does not affect the wedding.

5. How to arrange the guest seats at the wedding banquet?

The newlyweds, parents, elders and witnesses sit at the main table on the left, and the guests of the newlyweds are arranged at the main table on the right. This is: the couple sits in the center of the main table facing everyone, the groom sits on the left side of the bride, and the groom's left side is his mother, father and parents and elders in turn; On the bride's right are her father, mother and parents' elders. The couple's family sits opposite each other with the couple as the center, and the witness, the best man and the maid of honor sit next to the elders. VIPs invited by newcomers need to be arranged according to the specific situation.

Of course, there are cases where both parents are not at the same table. In some places in China, parents of husband and wife should sit separately, parents of groom should sit at in-laws table, and parents of bride should sit at bride table. At this time, it is suggested that the groom's family group sit in the guest seat on the left or right. The bride's family sits in the guest seat on the right or left, and the parents above the couple sit in the center of the main table on one side, facing all the guests. The newcomer's VIP is arranged in the nearest place to the stage and the main table to show the newcomer's respect for VIP.

Colleagues, business partners

This group of newcomers should greet the elders first and then the newcomers, and try to arrange the same table if they are familiar. Unfamiliar people should be arranged at each table, and it will be more polite to take care of them in time. Please arrange them in the middle of the whole banquet area.

Little, best friends and classmates

They don't care much about their seats. In terms of age, friends and classmates should be biased towards young people and must be the most active group at the wedding. They might as well arrange the last few tables in the banquet area, which will not only make them enjoy themselves, but also avoid the influence of drinking on the whole wedding process, including the staff who help.

Arrange wedding banquet seats with 3 skills

1. Relationship between guests: people with similar interests are more harmonious together;

2. The relationship between yourself and the guests: pay attention to the location and the distance from yourself, usually arranged near the main table;

3. When arranging seats, you can ask the food and beverage department to provide a table map and number or name each table, so that all aspects can be better taken care of.

6. How to arrange the seats for the wedding banquet? What are the precautions for the wedding?

Wedding banquet main table

1. Chinese wedding banquet main table

The couple sat in the center of the main table facing everyone, and the groom sat on the bride's left. On the groom's left are his mother, father and parents' elders. On the bride's right are her father, mother and parents' elders. The best man and the maid of honor sit next to their elders.

Other guests

Other guests outside the main table are usually friends of the bride and groom or family-related guests of both parties. It is easier to arrange people you know together, and it is easier to communicate with guests you know together. If there are single men and women among the friends of the bride and groom, maybe they can make a couple.

7. How can the seating arrangement of the wedding banquet hotel be more reasonable?

First of all, the guest seating arrangement at the main table.

If the wedding scale of the couple is relatively small, or the number of elders and VIPs is small, a main table can be arranged. At this time, the parents, elders, distinguished guests and witnesses of the couple are arranged at the main table, and other guests are arranged in the order of leaders, colleagues, business partners, classmates and friends.

Second, the two main table guest seating arrangement

If the wedding of the couple is large, it is more grand to arrange two main tables. It is suggested that the main table be arranged near the stage and both sides of the passage, so that the balanced and symmetrical layout can better highlight the status of the VIP table, and the two main tables are also relatively parallel, giving people a sense of harmony.

Third, make a wedding seat map.

In order to make the wedding appear orderly and show the taste of the new couple, Sarah's wedding suggests that everyone accurately count the number and names of the guests, and make a seating chart before the wedding, and put it at the position leading to the guest's seat in the welcome area, with the guest's name and table number marked on it, so that the guests can find their seats quickly. At the same time, you need to arrange 1 friends who are very familiar with you to be ushers, so that guests can sit down much more easily, and it is for guests.

Fourth, pay attention to the distance between the table and the paragraph.

No matter how the newcomers set the wine table, they should consider the route taken by the newcomers when they enter the venue. If you want to lay a red carpet and a road guide, leave enough space between the tables to lay a carpet. It's best not to press the chair on the carpet, because when the guests sit, the chair will move backwards, and the red carpet may be pressed more, so that the carpet can go.

Fifth, properly arrange children's seats.

If there are many children among the newcomers' guests, it is suggested that the newcomers arrange an area where children and parents are concentrated, so that the children can play together without disturbing other guests, and it is convenient to distribute appropriate dishes and diets to the children. Naughty children don't stay in their seats all the time during a wedding banquet that lasts for hours. They need to go in and out of the bathroom or outdoor space frequently. Therefore, the children's seats should be as close as possible to the exit, which is convenient for entry and exit and does not affect the wedding. If the venue or hotel can provide small children's play facilities, you can also arrange some seats near the facilities for parents to monitor their children's play.

Matters needing attention

Of course, how to arrange the seats of wedding guests is for reference only. In their own wedding, the couple should design the most suitable seats for the wedding guests according to their actual situation.
