Will there be assigned seating at your wedding?

Cliodhna, on October 24, 2019 at 09:05 Posted in Wedding reception 0 13

Many couples want to curate an amazing guest experience and this often involves devising the perfect seating chart. It’s common that guests are assigned a specific table at a reception. Assigned seating goes one step further and allocates the exact seat at the table where a guest will sit.


Will you decide where each of your guests will sit? Or are you leaving open seating for everyone?

    We’re going to assign tables but we’re unsure about assigning seats right now. We want to give out drink tickets (we want to print off little ones to go with our theme), so would it be better to assign seats and put drink tickets at each persons seat?

    We haven't confirmed anything with the venue yet but at this point I'm thinking we'll have assigned seats. It would be easier for the servers since guests are choosing their meals ahead of time.

    We did assigned tables but not seats! I didn’t want to deal with the drama if I didn’t sit someone where they wanted and people would change it anyways.

    We're not having a seating plan. The guest list is mostly my family, so we just decided that they can sit where they like. We're just going to have one table reserved for my parents and grandparents that is close to the front.

    Well there was supposed to be.... but then we had so many last minute cancels that we decided to only assign seating for our immediate family! People got to sit with who they want and because of the sudden amount of cancels as well as no-shows there was enough room for people to sit with everybody they wanted Smiley smile

    We're assigning guests to tables, but they can pick their own seats at the table. Our RSVPs are starting to roll in so we're placing people at tables as we go.
