Organizing an event is a big task. Here are a few rules of thumb we use to make it easier.
Party Seating
If you're not sure whether your guests will be rubbing shoulders or elbows, use this handy table to put them in their place.

| (stand-up) | 5 to 6 sq. ft./person |
| (some seated) | 8 sq. ft./person |
| Dinner | |
| (using round tables) | 10 sq. ft./person |
| (using banquet tables) | 8 sq. ft./person |
| Cathedral Seating | |
| (in rows) | 6 sq. ft./person |
| Dance Areas | |
| 2 to 4 sq. ft./person | |
