  14. Seat Placements • Who sits where in a formal setting: • The host and hostess sit at opposite ends of the table • Males and Females sit in intervals • Most important people sit to the right hand side of the host and hostess (guest of honor) Male guest of honor F M F host hostess M F M Female guest of honor

  15. Place cards • The name of each person should be written on a separate card • The place cards are usually put above the plate on the tablecloth, but some people put them on top of the napkin because they are more easily read. •   The place cards are usually about 4cm in width (height) and 5 cm in length, sometimes slightly larger. • A family crest may be placed on the place card • Nothing other than a crest must ever be put on a place card; and usually the crests are plain.
