In addition to all of the wedding decorations and wedding accessories that need to be found, the reception seating plan can be a dreaded thing for many brides. A wedding planning book is always a good reference when making these critical decisions.
Here are some free tips that might help:
Make sure not to seat relatives together that don't get along. In order to make it a fun time for everyone, it is courteous to seat people with others they get along with. For example seat the cousins at one table and the aunts and uncles at another.
If you decide that you are going to label your tables, stick to numbers. Famous couples, locations, etc. are hard to see. Many guests complain about having to search for their table. Put your numbers in the middle of each table near the centerpieces of your wedding decorations so that it is easy to see. You may want to have a couple of number cards per table on either side of the center wedding accessories so that it can be seen from all angles.
Also, reserved tables are all you need. It is a whole lot of unnecessary work to have reserved chairs for each guest as well. The parents are really the only ones that need reserved seats. Any more than that just gives the guests more reasons to complain.
Make sure too that you have an extra table prepared for unexpected guests. If you haven't heard from the guests a week after the RSVP is supposed to have been reserved, it is good to follow up with a phone call to see if they will be coming.
Those are a few tips from us. We hope you wedding planning is smooth sailing for you! Remember to get personalized wedding favor, wedding accessories and wedding decorations that will enrich your wedding!
