I would like to ask how the seats are arranged when guests are invited to dinner, including the specific arrangements for the main seat and the guests. Thank you!

1, respect for the right, the table and seat arrangement above has already mentioned the principle of respect for the right, and the seat arrangement is also respect for the right and humility. Therefore, if men and women sit side by side, men are left and women are right, and the right side is the biggest. If there are two tables in the seat, the male and female hosts will chair them separately, and the table on the right is the largest. The same is true of the arrangement of guest seats, that is, the male and female hosts have the largest right side and the smallest left side.

2. People with high status or position are most respected. People with high status are seated according to the position of the position, that is, the rank, and cannot exceed it.

3. If the positions or positions are the same, they must be positioned according to the traditional habits of official positions.

4. Observe diplomatic practice. According to the practice of various countries, when the head of government, such as the president or the prime minister, entertains foreign guests, the foreign minister ranks ahead of other ministers.

5. A woman's husband is the most important, ranking in the same order as her husband. That is, among many guests, male guests ranked first and his wife ranked second. However, if the invitee is a female guest, because she is a minister, and this gentleman's position is not obvious, such as the chairman of a large company, it will definitely rank behind all ministers, and the husband may not be as expensive as his wife.

6. When government officials, heads of social organizations and social elites attend the banquet, the order is government officials, heads of social organizations and social elites.

7. Europeans and Americans regard banquets as the best social occasions, so they are divided into seats, that is, men and women are divided into seats, and men and women are separated when ranking. Husband and wife, father and daughter, mother and son, brother and sister must be separated. If there are foreign guests present, China people will sit with them.

8. Abide by social morality, be orderly with children, and be different from teachers and students, especially in informal banquet occasions. If a gentleman is a minister and a professor is his mentor, in informal situations, the professor's ranking cannot be lower than that of the minister.

9. Female guests can't be arranged at the bottom of the seat.

10, when the host and hostess come forward to give a banquet, there are always two men and two women sitting side by side, whether it is a round table or a long table, when there are eight people, twelve people, sixteen people, twenty people and twenty-four people (and so on). This possibility is unavoidable. So the ideal seating arrangement is six people, ten people, fourteen people and eighteen people (and so on).

1 1. If the host or hostess invites his immediate superior and the manager invites his chairman to the banquet, the host or hostess must be humble and sit in the second place. These are the principles of seating arrangement. Due to the arrangement of seats, once a guest sits at the table and looks around or around the guests, he will be pecked.
