Choose a seat, not a side sign or an usher

How many people are we talking about?

I didn't have any of those things- but I had less than 30 guests.

How many extra seats will you have? I'm thinking if you have 75 guest you put out 80 seats and it will even itself out.

I'm not doing either.. I figure people can just sit in chairs like adults right?

About 50 guests and only like 10 are from my side. This doesn't include the wedding party since they obviously don't need seats during the ceremony.

We have very uneven sides and we're having 2 ushers. We're having a traditional Catholic church mass ceremony

I made a sign just because I thought it was cute even though 'adults can adult and know how to sit in a chair.'

I think it depends on seating. We were worried about this as well but the venue will only put out enough seats for the guests so it'll even itself out.

Just have your ushers tell people they can sit anywhere.

I'm over signs of any kind at this point.

You can post it on the wedding website perhaps

I don't love the sign thing, just have the ushers tell people to sit anywhere.

I will have about 10 family members and my FH will have about 140. Our friends are all mutual. We're going to have a sign but even if we didn't, his family would eventually get the hint that they need to sit on "my" side. Adults can adult but I can't resist a cute sign.

I'm doing both since my FH is from the other side of the world and his family can't travel to the wedding. We're having a sign I found from Etsy that says "Choose a seat on either side - you are loved by both the groom and bride." I also have ushers that are family members who will know most of the guests so they can help even out the sides. I know it would break my FH's heart to see so few people seated on his side. I hope it'll just remind them all that we're family now and there are no "sides"

@celia, I'm kinda over signs as well but didn't know if ushers were old school at this point.

@MelissaErin, that's what I figured till the last wedding I attended this weekend. People were standing on the brides side rather than move to the very empty groomside.

I agree with Celia, just have the ushers tell they can sit anywhere. That is what I am doing.

I have a sign that says "Choose a seat, not a side. We're all family once the knot is tied." I'm hoping people can even it out for themselves. We're getting married in a church so it's not like we can only set out the number of seats we need.

I made this sign on Zazzle.

I'm at a point where I want to burn all those signs. Every last one of them. Pinterest was shoving them down my throat for way too long. lol We had our groomsmen direct guests.

I didn't do any signs and people know mostly what to do.

I asked my friend to reserve first row for family. She told everyone they can't sit in first three row resulting the second and third row empty.

In retrospect, I should have make reserve signs for first row only.

The rest of the sign are not needed.

I will have the number of chairs match the number of guests so it will only be an issue with no shows, if any. My venue rents the chairs and the will have my final count.

My ushers will tell people to sit on whichever side they choose.
