SC - A question on Servers

Or, divide the table into sections: all of table 1 stuff sits here, all of
table 2 there, etc.

I was going to suggest finding a group to willing to serve for you in return
for the recognition by whatever pointy hat is there:  a particular household,
a group of teens, a particular guild.  If you can sweet talk one knight into 
"volunteering" his squires, another knight may have to do the same to save
face.  (I've seen this done with kitchen clean up.)

Since your husband was all ready to train servers, perhaps he could recruit
people on his own and train them.  Then when meal time rolls around, those
folk would be knowledgeable enough to help those corralled from the seats on
the aisle.
