Every guest belongs to a group, even if they are the only member of the group, and each group has a single set of contact details. We therefore recommend that guests are grouped according to their address, e.g. by family or work-place.
You can easily reassign guests between groups by dragging them to another group in the 
Groups pane or using Edit>Change Group....
You can drag a whole group to the 
Floor Plan, 
Table Plan or 
Schematic panes by either:
| • | dragging a group from the Groups pane; or |
| • | holding down the Shift key and dragging any guest from that group from the  Guests, Groups, Floor Plan, Table Plan or Schematic panes |
Whether guests should sit together is determined by the proximities set in the 
Proximity pane and not by group. This gives you the flexibility to use the automatic assignment to separate members of a group (e.g. if you don't want to sit couples and work colleagues next to each other). However couples, families and groups are set to sit next to or 
near to each other by default.
You can easily see where different members of a group are seated by clicking on the 
Groups button in the Floor Plan pane.
Different groups are shown in different colour combinations. You can change the colours used in the 
Visualization colours window.
