A little structure. A better event.

Make the reception work for your guests.

Plan around the meal, entertainment, and gathering spaces that matter to your family.

  1. Define the main areas

    Place the dance floor, entertainment, and any presentation area. Decide where adult and youth seating should sit in relation to them.

  2. Organize the guest groups

    Add your guests and group households or friends into parties. Use table names and colors to make the seating areas easy to review.

  3. Bring your team into the details

    Share the plan with your co-hosts and event team. Review table arrangements and the routes between dining and entertainment.

Make it work in your space

Different ages. One celebration.

Thoughtful seating gives your guests places to connect while keeping the room part of a shared experience.

Start with the guest experience

Some guests will spend more time at the tables, while others will spend more time near the entertainment. Consider those different uses when you place the seating. Table names and colors can help your family review the arrangement together.

Connect seating with the meal

Collect the information your event team needs before making the final assignments. Online RSVP questions in the web app can gather meal choices. If you use the Apple apps for meal management, guest reports can help you prepare information for the catering team.

Keep the layout personal

A formal dinner, a casual party, and a reception with activity areas need different arrangements. Include only the spaces that belong in your celebration. Share the layout with the venue and entertainment team so the furniture plan supports what will actually happen.
