6 Ultimate Wedding Reception Seating Ideas
So, your Aunt Suzy and Uncle Bill have been feuding since the 90s, your last single girlfriend is hypersensitive to being seated at the "wrong" table, and you have one couple coming from out of the country who only knows you and your fiancé.
What to do? With a little tact, diplomacy, and common sense, you can create a seating plan that will make almost everyone happy... Instead of using the traditional way to have guests identify their tables, try these unique ways.
How to create a seating chart that will blow your guests' minds
1. Seating Assignment Board
Here is a great way to get your guests to mingle. Instead of doing the traditional seating arrangements, create a seating assignment board. Use the table numbers to attach all the names of your guests that will be seated at that particular table... You can use a backdrop to complete your wedding theme or use a simple colorful easel that will complement your wedding theme. Have fun!
