I get many questions from people with absolutely no experience organising
parties or weddings. One of the first
questions needed to be answered is, will it be a sit down or stand up occasion. There’s much to consider and if done wrong can leave your guests with a lot to grumble about.
Sit down functions are most popular for weddings and larger events and are the
best way to enjoy a fabulous meal. The
problem with this style though is the dreaded seating plan, an event organisers
enemy!
Corporate functions where
businesses are allocated an entire table make this option easy, but for
functions such as weddings when most guests will come in a couple, or worse as
a single careful planning is needed to get the seating just right.
Stand up events, also known as cocktail functions, present
none of these problems as guests are free to mix and mingle as they
please. Food options are restricted
mostly to finger food, but if this is plentiful can still make for a filling
meal.
The biggest consideration with
cocktail functions is to have adequate seating.
If guests are elderly this may not be the option for you and regardless
a variety of seating options must be on hand for all.
Get the answer to this question right and your guests will
be full of fun and fresh to hit the dance floor!
Tell us what you prefer.. to sit? or to stand?
