PW Guide Article: Biggest Seating Chart Mistakes

Great article

For what it's worth, we thought that seating arrangements would be difficult, but it was actually pretty easy. We assigned tables only, and everyone seemed fine.

great article!

So helpful

we are having a vintage inspired wedding this june...so as the planner and the bride i want our
day to be one of celebration not one with fuss. we will be having both an escort card and place
card. both with the names and table # of every guest... this is so no one can change any card or place

Wonderful info!

I am assigning tables and not seats as well.  I'm in agreement with some of the brides that I want my guests to feel comfortable and sit with people they know.  I want them to have a fun time and not feel awkward about sitting at a table with strangers.

I think our seating chart will be fairly simple because there really is no problem deciding who to sit where. I have 5 sisters one whom I don't speak to so she will not be coming but I do have two sisters that don't get along but there are other family members we can sit them with. My father and FI's mother have both passed so both of our living parents are with a new partner. I don't really get aong with my mother but I would love to have a relationship where I could invite her to my wedding since she wasnt at my first wedding. Problem i have there is my two sister's that are in my WP also don't get along with my mother. I plan to get an early start on this project because we know most of our guests that are invited will come
