I'm working on an end of May trip for a total of 11 people (well, really 10 because one will be a baby). The baby will be my DSis+BIL's and I would like to make reservations to accommodate our entire party but I realize there may be times when they may not make it (depending on how baby is doing) - plus they are people who run late for EVERYTHING and I don't necessarily want 8 people standing around waiting for the 2 of them to decide to show up.
I don't really know the best way to approach this - I've thought about making one reservation for 8 people and then a separate reservation for the 2 of them (with baby) at the same time. If we all showed up together, would it be possible or likely that we could sit near each other?
Or should I book each family unit separately (4, 5, 2) at the same time and do the strategy as above, then if any group doesn't show up, the others can still eat? I don't want to just show up and be like "surprise, there are really 11 of us" but I also don't want to make a bunch of reservations for 11 and then have only 8 people there...
Any advice or guidance? I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks!
