VIP Table
VIP Table: A specially-positioned table reserved for guests of honour.
A VIP table is a table given priority placement — typically closest to the head table, the dance floor, or the focal point of the room — and reserved for the most important guests. At a wedding that often means the immediate family, godparents, or close mentors. At corporate events it might be the keynote speaker, board members, or major sponsors. Identifying the VIP table early in the planning process is one of the highest-stakes seating decisions.
