Q: Is it possible to allow guests to access some but not all tables?
A: Yes, we suggest you omit those tables until your guests have reserved their seats, you can always add them later. Another option would be to fill out the guest list form for the reserved tables. The tables will become greyed out and guests won't be able to choose seats at that table TIP: If you aren't sure who will be seated at the reserved table yet, just name each chair TBD (to be determined) you can always go in and add the names later.
