Birthday Party

A milestone birthday with a seated meal: the cake or gift table takes the center, two tables of six flank it for the guest of honor's closest people, and three tables of eight fill the room. It gives the birthday person a natural focal point without a formal head table.

Seating tips

  • Seat the guest of honor at one of the two front tables, not alone at the cake table.
  • Group by how people know the host: family, work, neighbors.
  • A printed chart at the door works better than place cards for a casual party.
