quick survey: If you came to my dinner party for 12 would you....

[mumonthenet]

prefer me to have done a seating plan,

or would you prefer to decide where to sit for yourself?

I usually do a seating plan to avoid people fumbling around but am now wondering if I'm a bit sad!

[WriggleJiggle]

Would definitely prefer you to have done a seating plan.

Another vote for seating plan

(Try and memorise it rather than drawing a diagram if you wish to appear less sad )

[sazlocks]

a seating plan would annoy me a bit TBH but then I am naturally contrary

No seating plan for me, but can't imagine any of my friends would do a dinner party for 12, so you are probably mixing in better circles.

[PotterVsCullen]

Dinner for half a dozen? Sit where you like.
Any more than 6, seating plan & place names etc etc

[Hulababy]

I wouldn't expect to see a seating plan but wouldn't mind if there was.

Are they all friends who know one another?

[mumonthenet]

Thanks for input girls.

Yes, they all know each other...some more than others.

It's not a formal dinner, more a slightly drunken supper outside by candlelight.

If I didn't do a seating plan I dh would slump next to his mates and talk politics for most of the night

[SkaterGrrrrl]

I do seating plans because I know all my mates and who is likely to hit it off/ have something in common with who.
