Do they have a need to discuss business together? Do they have hobbies or interests in common? Do they have professions in common? Do they have marital/single status in common? (Perhaps you’re into matchmaking, although some would be irritated by your attempt if they were to figure it out) Do they like one another or not? Be careful of seating people you know have an animosity towards one another unless you want a dampener on the occasion.
