There are two common ways to arrange the seating cards. Some do it alphabetically by last name. Others so it by table number--all the "Table 1" cards are together, all the "Table 2" cards are together etc. For everybody's sake, please PLEASE have them put in A-B-C order. Imagine being the first on line and there are over 120 cards to looks through. I know my last name begins with a "C" so if the cards are in A-B-C order, I know about where to look. But if they are in table order---how do I know what table I am seated at? Now I have to read each and every one. And so does everyone else. If each of 120 guests averages just 30 seconds to find their card, you have just lost an hour of your reception!!! Gasp!!!!
What's for Dinner???
Menu cards on the tables are a nice touch. The guests know what is coming and if there is a choice of entrees, the staff can move quickly from person to person to take orders without having to explain the options to each and every guest. As the hall will ask for the guests to be seated while the staff takes orders, you really want this process to go as quickly as possible so the party can get started! IMPORTANT!!! Reception halls are dark. Often very dark. Make sure you use an extra large font so people can actually read the menu card!
