sign-in table

Arrival logging spot

A sign-in table is a station where people register their attendance at an event, typically by writing their name on a sheet or in a book.

Common at weddings, conferences, and memorial services, it often doubles as a place to collect name tags or leave messages: Guests signed the guestbook at the sign-in table before entering the reception.
