Try to find the best combination knowing that :

- Host and hostess do not sit side by side,
but face each other.

- Gentlemen and ladies must be alternated
as much as possible.

- The male guest of honour seats to the right of
the hostess, and the lady guest of honour to the right of the host.
Left handsides are "second best" !

- Married couples should not sit side by side nor
face each other, except if they are newly wed
(less than 1 year) or officially fiancés.

Having done this, if you still have different alternatives, first take into account the natural affinities and different personalities of your guests. As for yourself, be practical and choose a seat providing you an easy reach to the kitchen...(even if you will try to leave the table as
little as possible… )
