Sherraine, on February 9, 2021 at 9:29 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 8

How are you guys doing the seating arrangements. we reduced out guest list to 30 but want to keep up with social distance. how many per table should one have? we were thinking 4-5 per table?

these are going to being round tables

    You could group the tables by household! That way, people are sitting with those who they already closely interact with outside of your wedding. Otherwise, if you need to put more than one household at a table, and the tables normally each hold 8-10 people, I would instead put 4-6 people at each table, so they have room to spread out.

    By household would be the best option, if possible!
    We have round tables that normally seat 8-10 and we're reducing to 5-6 per table. Most of our guests are couples, so 3 couples per table

    Hi Sherraine! At our wedding, we had large round tables that could seat up to 10, however we kept it per household. Some tables had 4 individuals while others had up to 8 depending on their household. We had a sweetheart table so to prevent mixing too many households at the head table. We had a lot of guests from Florida and sat them near each other. We sat autoimmune and elderly on the edges. Our guests told us they felt safe and it was nice not feeling so crowded like a typical wedding. Also no one got covid at our wedding so all the precautions we took were well worth it! Good luck ❤️❤️❤️

    We are seating by household or by social circle (people who may not be the same household but who we know interact regularly and are comfortable being seated together). Some of our tables may have as few as two people, I think the biggest one will have eight.

    I called my venue to see what their restrictions are & was told 10 per table (they’re round) & the tables are 6 feet apart. Majority of them will be grouped by families.

    We did our seating by households. So the number of people in that household determined how many to a table. For households of couples or of 3-4, we asked our venue to utilize their low cocktail tables and they’ve agreed. There’s only one table currently our friend table of 5 but they’re all from separate households. However we do know of three who hang out so we will be in contact with them in April about comfort. As for the other two friends MOH and BM we are considering inviting their significant others and giving them a small cocktail low table. But this will only happen if a household doesn’t come. (We have one seriously on the fence.) if anything we will sit them with us at our table. MOH is my best friend and BM is fh best friend so either option will work.
