how many are people having for the sit-down meal?
upto now we are only having 40 for the meal and a buffet for 100 at night
because there's only 40 for the meal we wanted a ice breaker because the venue have gaven us a sep room for the meal and the tables are going to b 1 long one(could be used as long or round)

any ideas would be great

thanks

Our venue requested we had 50 for sit down and 150 for evening but after many friends and family had proir arrangements we renegotiated 30 for sit down and 80 for evening.

Hoping to have a top table for 8 then a horse shoe shaped table for remaining guests.

I had 35 for a sit down meal. We used 5 round tables (including top table) and put us in the middle of the room. Not really sure what you are asking?

We have 30 for the sit down meal, all on round tables (no 'Top Table') We have also hired a magician for the early part of the evening do (expecting 60-80 in total) to help get 'things' going!!

just asking how many people people have and what plans you've got for when you arrive at the venue to when you have the night do really

We're only have 44 in total, sit down meal and evening, mostly because we moved away so everyone is having to travel and we haven't been here long enough to meet many people yet, so the friends we have made here are invited to the whole thing.

Although it wouldn't be possible for us to have some for sit down and some for evening I think I would still prefer it this way anyway. That way everybody shares the whole day together. In my view if they are important to us we want them there for the whole thing, and if they are not, we say we're keeping it small and we hope they understand.

Of course that's easy for me to say as my situation made it pretty clear cut, and I know how difficult who to invite can gat, but in my opinion it makes it esasier.

we're having 60 for the meal and a further 60 for the evening but this is included in a package that could work out more if we have less people because everything (venue, 3 course meal, drinks package, dj/disco, decorating venue, wedding planner, evening buffet and some other little bits) is included.

We had 40 for the meal, tables were in a horseshoe shape with the cake in the centre.

ie:id like my cake to b seen but not moved so dont know where to put it and unsure what to put on the tables in the other room because we would of eaten in the other room so the tables will b bear lol

^It depends on what entertainment you are having for the evening, and are you having a buffet?

I think it would be nice to have the cake in the room you are all going to be eating in. Keep the second room for the 'night time party' (you will need somewhere for everyone to go while the meal room is being cleared) so you could have a little decoration, maybe balloons if you like them, and you could also ask the staff to move the table decs through when they clear the tables.
