The Insert couple window
allows you to enter details for a couple. To display this window

a couple will share the same contact details. If this isn't

Title is the guest's title. You can type the title or select it from existing choices in the drop-down list. Once you have typed it in once, it will be available to select next time.
First name is the guest's first (given) name.
Last name is the guest's last (family) name. For convenience, the last name of the second guest is set to the same as the last name of the first guest, but you can change this at any time.
Note The Title, First name and Last name will be automatically capitalised (e.g. mr john smith converted to Mr John Smith) unless you have disabled this option in the Preferences window.
Display name is a name that can be used in various views. This could include the guests' qualification and/or role, e.g. Mr John Smith Phd, Master of ceremonies. PerfectTablePlan will try to construct a sensible display name from the Title, First name and Last name, but you can change this at any time.
Gender is the gender of the guest. This can be useful information when assigning seats. The automatic layout will endeavour to alternate men and women where it can (unless you have disabled this in the Preferences window). PerfectTablePlan will try to guess the gender from the Title where it can, but you can change this at any time.
Age is the age of the guest, adult or child. Typically a child is anyone under the age of 16. This can be useful information when assigning seats.

a guest. You can type the meal choice or select it from existing
choices in the drop-down list. Once you have typed it in once, it
will be available to select next time. If you have a choice of more

e.g. soup,fish,flan, the 
Statistics pane
will then show a total for each course separately.

requirements the guest has, for example: nut allergy, elderly or in a
wheel chair. If there is more than one special requirement they
should be separated by commas, the Statistics pane
will then total each separately.
Notes is for any general notes relevant to the guest. This can be used to store information any other relevant information.
