Reception Etiquette & Banquet Captain Checklist

  • Equal VIP Sightlines (40' × 50' Room): Seat both households at equidistant VIP tables (Table 2 & Table 4) flanking the Sweetheart Table.
  • Acoustic & Dance-Floor Buffer: Place the 24' × 24' (576 sq ft) dance floor between separated family groups for a natural 28-foot sightline barrier.
  • Scoped Family Table Share Link: Send each parent a locked link to arrange Tables 1-3 while Tables 4+ remain read-only.
  • Couple & Plus-One Integrity: Lock partner pairs so auto-rebalancing never splits spouses or bridal party dates across tables.
