Seating and Protocol: Write first row before invitations.

Rules differ by country and by council. Ask your legal adviser.

The difficult place is not on the stage. He is next to whoever presides. A calm decision, taken early, costs little. A late argument costs the night's ambiance.

Write the order early

The city council may have your protocol note. Write the order before the invitations go out. An invitation may be declined. Order cannot be improvised because of this.

Plan for deputies

If an authority sends a substitute, decide beforehand how they sit and how they are presented. An authority that arrives late must find a plan that already includes it. Decide whether the ceremony waits and how you welcome it when it arrives.

The protocol responds to whoever is superior. award seats respond to who takes the stage when a name is called. Ask who's coming. Partners or parents can collect an award. A calm route makes for a good photograph and a calm room.

Close place changes

Places change late. A deadline turns a rush into a decision. Tell the photographer where the front row sits, so the photo shows the order you chose.

Who may collect the award

An award recipient can indicate who represents him or her. an award for a minor is collected by whoever accompanies him. At the door, the question is one: can this person lift this award?

Decide on replacement before night. The door has to read the answer, not guess it. Where the substitute sits and how he is presented remains a protocol decision, taken early. Late arrivals and last minute changes comes to the door at night.

Write the order before the invitations. Decide the alternate. Set the cutoff time. Tell the photographer where the front row is.

Eventblox® connects the place to whoever the door awaits. The order of precedence remains yours. Prepare is where presences and places are in the same edition.
