Seating at diplomatic events reflects precedence, bilateral balance, and
practical considerations. Errors in seating can cause lasting offense.

**Head Table**: The principal guest sits to the right of the host (position of
honor). Spouses may be seated together or according to their own precedence.
At round tables, the host often faces the door or the main room.

**Alternating Host-Guest**: At large dinners, alternate host and guest delegations
along the table to encourage engagement. Balance rank so that no guest is seated
noticeably below their proper place.

**Place Cards**: Use place cards for all seated events. Print names and titles
clearly. Verify spelling and titles with delegations in advance. Place cards
allow last-minute adjustments without reprinting menus.

**Avoiding Sensitivities**: Do not seat parties with unresolved bilateral
tensions next to each other. Consider religious dietary requirements when
planning table composition. Verify that spouses or partners are included
where expected.
