Actividades: X-shaped formations Created by putting together long banquet tables-are visually striking and can help send a message about the event. The X-shape allow the guests to get more opportunity to interact among themselves while seated and also to see more of the guests present compared to just a long table. It also gives a refreshing touch when guests enter the room and also to be seated in such a unique configuration. A bigger space will be required for this type of setup. Up to 90 persons can be seated on an "X". T-shaped formations A T-shape can seat more guests in a smaller space and work especially well for small dinners and more intimate events for 18 to 20 persons. It is a little more unique and it breaks up the table a bit so even though it's like one table, it's not one long table so the guests are more spread out and generate the feeling of cosiness. The Open Square The open square-made from long tables in a large square formation-works well with speakers or entertainment. Attendees sit on the outside of the square facing the centre, where a performer can play to the whole group without anyone twisting in their seats or craning their necks to watch. A Mixture of shapes Mixing round, square and long tables give another different dimension to the rules of table configuration. Doing a combination such as a rectangle table for 12 to 14 people and then combine it with squares and rounds gives an informal setting and encourage the guests to roam around without feeling restrictive to a certain shaped table. The assortment of shapes worked well to accommodate both small and big groups and in an event setting where interaction and informality are desired. A mixture of sizes Along the same concept as mixing shapes, mixing tables of different sizes also gives a visual impact. Add more depth to the arrangement by giving different heights to the tables. To complement the table configuration and to add visual impact, different coloured and texture table linens can be used according to the event theme. A table centrepiece also adds a detail to the overall attraction of the table arrangement. Apart from making table arrangement functional, it does not hurt to use it to make your event unique and memorable.
