Self-guided learning path

Build one dependable guest handoff

Make households, meal choices and practical details agree.

1. Lesson 1

   Organize guests as people inside households

   Invitations often go to households, but meals and seats belong to individual people.

2. Lesson 2

   Set the RSVP deadline from the real handoff dates

   The invitation date is not the only clock in an RSVP process.

3. Lesson 3

   Build the seating chart from constraints before preferences

   A seating chart becomes easier when you separate fixed needs from nice-to-have combinations.

4. Lesson 4

   Keep meal selections and allergy instructions distinct

   Meal choices help a caterer count service portions.

5. Lesson 5

   Review invitation addresses without turning etiquette into guesswork

   Addressing an invitation combines a delivery address with a preferred way of naming people.

6. Lesson 6

   Give guests one place to find the information they need

   A guest information page should answer practical questions without exposing the private planning workspace.
