Setting the table

I've gotta know how they smoothly get everyone to sit in the right place with a table that big and so long and obviously with two sides.

At events such as a wedding there's a list of names and then table numbers and it's easy to find where you go, but this.... how?
If google is to be believed, and I don’t see why it wouldn’t in this case, very detailed seating charts are made out well ahead of time, attendees are sat according to a strict order of importance, and the charts are sent out to all the attendees offices ahead of time, and there are indeed placards just to help, if needed.

Damn! And I thought the guests just pulled a ticket out of a hat at the front door and rode their luck! :hyper: :hyper: :laugh: :laugh:

I'm so glad to see the fork on the left. That's how I set the table. My DH grew up with the fork on the right. He always tells me I set it wrong, even when we go out and the fork is on the left and I point it out, lol.
