Wedding Seating Planning Tips

Wedding Seating Planning Tips

Seating arrangements for wedding receptions are not hard to make. Yet still, it is better to plan things beforehand as things don't get confusing on the important day itself. It is a known fact that assigned seating is not mandatory in a wedding but it is the best means to improve efficiency and eliminate possible confusion at the reception. Though it may sound out of the context, guests generally prefer to be told to seat at particular places rather than find their own seat themselves. There are many benefits to have assigned seating arrangements.

Sitting people who know each other is more comfortable for them rather than sitting them next to persons they are not familiar with. However, it will discourage mingling of the strangers. Nonetheless, allowing people who know each other to share a same table should be at least made compulsory as otherwise it may be intimidating for some of the people. The homework for you would be to have knowledge on whether the guests would enjoy each other's company or not.

Of other issues that have to be considered while making seating arrangements is to consider the age groups and interests of the guests. This is important as it will act as a common denominator through which they can share interesting conversations and have fun at your celebration party.

Closest friends and family members are best advisable to be seated by the immediate vicinity of the bride and groom's table. Couples should be made to share the same table while singles table are best advisable to be prohibited.

When all the seating arrangements are decided, it is the next step to create a large name card that should be placed in the center of each table so that guests can easily find the tables assigned for them. It should be remembered that for those who are assigned specific seats, name place cards are to be provided.

It is best advised that seating arrangements are made at the earliest as soon as the invitations are sent out.
