BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Etiquette Seating 4 at a table for 6

We are having another couple over for dinner next Saturday night, and I'm not sure where everyone should sit!

We have a rectangular table, with 2 chairs on each side and 1 on each end.

Should we all sit at one end of the table, which would mean one at the end, one on one side, and two on the other side?

OR should we not seat anyone on the ends and sit two on one side and two on the other?

Thanks!

If this dinner is going to be casual, leave off the ends - that way no one is at the "head" of the table.

Just seat two to a side. For comfort, you can either sit the couples next to each other or across from each other. The best conversation flow would probably occur if they were to sit across from each other, though.
