Situations we get asked about

Divorced parents — Three cases, not one rule.
Plus-ones — Hold a seat. Do not count them as zero.
A late plus-one — A checked example. Not every late yes.
A hundred and fifty guests — 19 guest tables of 8 after a sweetheart of 2.
Kids at the wedding — Kids table, with parents, or none.
Without placing everyone — Rules in. Tables out.
After a fight — A new keep-apart, checked. Not a minimum-move promise.
