Alphabetical Table Assignments? First name or Last name??

Kat_, on September 21, 2019 at 7:03 PM Posted in Planning 0 8
Oh my gosh... y’all.... I have been working on these tables for soooooo long and I’m ready to sort my list alphabetically. Only problem, do I sort by first name or last name? Does it matter? What about “The Smith Family”... T or S? We were thinking to do it by first names and people can just find their name (sorted by the main contact we invited). What is the best way? Is there etiquette on this? Dudes, I need help. Lol. #OverThinkingEverything #ImDoneMakingDecisions

    Thank you! What about their guest? Sorted by last name too or keep them together?

    You definitely don't want to sort it by the main contact. If you're friends with both Susie Smith and John Jones, do you really want to be telling Susie that the reason she can't find either of her names is that you consider John "main"?

    I'd do it by last names. But if a couple or family has different last names, have one card for each last name.

    That’s so helpful. Thank you! So all guests are sorted by their last names and if a family has different last names they are all listed separately. And The Smith Family will be listed under S.
