I was lucky enough to make expert score the first time I did this level, then it took me about 10 tries to figure out what I did. Even now though, if you don't go quickly and keep people happy, it won't work. You will probably have to repeat the level a few more times and get used to who's going to sit where before you will get the hang of it. When people request to next next to someone, once you have them seated at the table get who ever they want to be next to seated with them asap or you won't get the points for it. When the game starts 3 peole arrive, pick up Ernie and just hold on to him for a minute, don't seat him, just hold him. You need to wait a bit and as long as you hold him, his mood won't drop.

Once more people arrive, you can start to seat. With only one table and 6 seats, I will just give each seat a number from 1-6 starting from the left side. Uncle ernie, Bob and Betty arrive first, pick up Ernie and wait. Then Al, Derek and Allison arrive and you can start to seat and collect gifts, as you do Chuck and Diane will arrive. On the first round you won't seat Allison or Chuck but you will seat Diane, so make sure you don't serve any food until Diane shows up and you get her gift.
