We did seating last night, numbering all the tables and juggling who should sit where, who should sit next to whom, who can't sit right next to the dance floor and the band's speakers, and all the other considerations that go in to seating guests. It went well and we have a feeling no one will be unhappy with where they are sitting. The room is so big, there is hardly a bad seat in the house.
This morning we joked about the ways in which this could have been easier. Since we're at camp, I suggested lining up our guests on one side of the dining hall and having people (table captains, as my dad suggested) pick "teams." We also suggested counting off, one through twenty, repeating until every guest had a number. I guess it was a sign of how relatively easy things went last night that we could joke about it today. (Although L is re-printing a handful of namecards that were either wrecked in the transport from New York or mispelled or formatted incorrectly.)
Any suggestions on creative table assignments?

That said, "planetgordon" has been an enormous resource for us.
Best wishes to you both, and thank you for having this marvelous website.
