Be sure to seat people next to or across from people they have something in common with. You don't want any guests sitting next to someone they would not like. They should be able to have a conversation with the people they are sitting next to.
Glue the heads into your history journal.
Label each head.
In a short paragraph explain why you sat everyone where you did. Write this paragraph in your history journal. You may want to write it inside the rectangle you drew for the table.
