So for the wedding were helping to plan, we decided it was best to come up with a binder with how to set up the rooms. we have thee ceremony space outside, cocktail hour in the lobby, and the reception in the hall or room.

now since there is so many spaces we thought having this binder would make it easier for the individual responsible for ensuring all items are in the proper section and accounted for.

since we have so many spaces, we are wondering how table should be set up etc. like should we have the card box and gift area on the same table as our guest book? planning where things should go seems the most frustrating.

    How big would those tables be? If there is room for two tables then I'd separate the guest book from other tables, because people will need to spend a while signing it and it could cause a traffic jam for the people trying to put down their gifts and cards. Though, if you are tight on space you could just use opposite ends of the table for cards and the guest book. As long as the escort cards/table plan is far away from the guest book I think you'll be fine!

    If possible, have two different tables for the guest book and the gifts/cards. People will sometimes take a bit of time signing the guest book and you don't want the entrance to get congested.

    Base the layout on the size of the hall. If 2 tables work to have your gift table along with the guest book to sign and seating chart/escort cards.

    Play with designing the tables and see what works best for both of you.

    I had limited space and tables were set up a particular way and for the escort cards and money box.

    It depends on how big the spaces are and how large the items are. Where ever the guests enter first should be where you place a table with the card box/guest book. I had two tables set up against the wall as soon as they enter, so they could place their card in the card box and sign the guest book. I also had some pictures of my fiance and I there and the seating chart. That way they couldn't miss any of it once they entered.
