Welcome to Etiquette & Guests: what to post here

The people side of every event: who to invite, where they sit, and how to keep the peace.

Good topics for this forum:

• Invitations, save-the-dates, RSVPs, and plus-ones
• Seating charts and the relatives who cannot sit together
• Gifts, registries, and thank-you notes
• Toasts, speeches, and who gives them
• Dietary needs, children at events, and guest accessibility
• Tipping vendors and staff

Sensitive family situations are welcome here. Please change or leave out real names so nobody can be identified.

Please keep it kind and on topic, and read the Community Forum rules before posting.
