List for Maitre d'

My RH wants me to make a list for the Maitre d' . I'm really lost as to what to put on this list.

They had suggested telling them where I want my memorial pictures laid out, etc.

Has anyone done this?? HELP!!

Thanks!

Everyone has to do this.

You'll make a list of where exactly you want everything set up at the reception site. For example:

Menus (120 in total) - place at each setting
Favors (120 in total) - place at each other setting
Pictures of Grandparents - place at placecard table
Cardbox - place behind bride & groom's table

Etc...

It's literally an 'inventory' list of what you want your reception site to set up.

Yup, what Chrissy said. Except I listed the favors differently. I put:

Table 1: 5 favors
Table 2: 7 favors
Table 3: 6 favors
etc.

I did it this way since not everyone brought a guest and I also had kids at my wedding, they got their own sets of favors.

Also on the list:
Bathroom baskets: One in each bathroom, make sure women's goes in women's room.
Slipper Basket: In front of DJ booth
Cigars: On bar

Otherwise they might not interpret your vision the way you see it.
