Are you assigning seats, assigning tables, or leaving it open?

View quoted message I’m doing the same!

I am doing assigned tables, but not seats. I’ve been to weddings with no seating plan at all and it gets messy!

No...people will be free to sit where they want!!

View quoted message Same here!

Just doing assigned tables not seats. We went with family style so we don't need exact seats for guests

I wanted our reception casual with no assigned seats but then my mom suggested to at least assign tables that way we maxamize our space and not have people who dont know everyone off by themselves at a table.

Will you have signs that let people know there is not assigned seating and they can sit wherever they like? I'm doing the exact same thing and I just wasn't sure if people should find out through word-of-mouth (I do have a day-of coordinator) or I should put up some sort of cute sign.

We are assigning seats and tables. With almost 200 guests, it was the easiest option for us

No assigned seats, as we are not having a traditional sit down meal. Tapas will be served as guests are encouraged to mingle while they eat. There will be tables and seating for those that wish to sit, as well as tall pub tables to stand at.

We're definitely assigning tables and seats, especially so it's easier for the venue to pre-plan in advance who selected which meal!

We are doing assigned tables, it will be the easiest way to prevent any drama

Assigned tables and seats for 300+ people.

Assigned tables and seats.......150ish guests.

We're leaving it open as my side of the guest list is bigger because I have a big family.

We’re definitely going to be assigning tables, but not seats. If we don’t assign tables, I think it might end up in chaos! Lol

We are definitely having assigned tables, but haven’t decided about assigned seats yet. Part of me thinks it would be too much of a hassle, but another part of me also really likes the idea of having personalized thank you cards/favours at each seat. We would definitely do assigned seats as well if our venue emphasized the importance of it for meals/allergies/etc.

Assigned seats with favours and personized names on the thank you card as they found their seats. it was arranged to be easy and cohesive based on colour. everyone complimented on the simplicity and elegance of the whole outlook of the wedding and reception.

We are doing assigned tables but not assigned seating. We thought this would be the best way to avoid conflict without being too controlling

My fiancé and I are having a small wedding; tables will be planned ahead, though I don't think it's necessary for us to assign individual seats as each guest is capable of seating themselves at the appropriate table, haha.

We're having a small wedding so I think we will let guests seat themselves.

We’re having smaller wedding of max 50 guests...no assigned seats, no table numbers...very basic and people can sit where they want!

We're doing assigned tables but not seats.

Due to our menu having multiple options and food allergies we have assigned tables and seating. Our venue will have a map of the guests and which meals to bring where for those who are allergic.

Our venue has long rectangular tables and we'll be assigning seats. There are a few cousins I just know would try and get a spot front and centre, to get more attention...and I want to avoid that!

Assigning tables! Won’t be putting people together that don’t get along so it should be ok 😂

We’re doing assigned tables, there’s going to be 8-10 people at a table I’m sure most people can manage!

We are doing assigned tables, but will have a seating chart along with escort cards.

The reason for this is that we are possibly doing 2 different meal options, plus vegetarian/vegan options. We are going to have most of the vegetarians at one table (they all know each other so it works out lol) to make things easier on catering but there will still be one or two in the crowd.

We are going to be doing assigned seating. It's that extra bit of stress and hassle but definitely necessary for us.

We are doing assigned tables. There's no way i'm going to stress about assigning a specific seat

We're doing assigned seats... mainly just for dinner serving purposes

I think it is way too much work and worry to assign tables and seats. We will reserve tables for close family and the rest will be open for the guests to seat themselves.
