Help, split seating!

As my RSVP’s are coming in it looks like we may be forced to do split seating at our reception. I was hoping we might be able to avoid it but it is what it is. Now I need help figuring out how to seat people. Originally I didn’t want to assign seats but now feel like I at least need to reserve...

As my RSVP’s are coming in it looks like we may be forced to do split seating at our reception. I was hoping we might be able to avoid it but it is what it is. Now I need help figuring out how to seat people. Originally I didn’t want to assign seats but now feel like I at least need to reserve tables for the wedding party and immediate family so they don’t get stuck in the room with the restricted view of the main events. So, a couple of questions:

-If I’m assigning part of the seats and leaving the rest open, how do I convey this?

-Is this stupid? Should I just assign all of the seats? None of the seats?

-Would you be upset if you were a guest (extended family or close friend) and got seated in the 2nd room?

If anyone has any experience with this or can offer advice I would sure appreciate it.

    Assign seats as RSVPs come in -- early RSVPers get seats in the main room. Those who are tardy, end up in second room. Ooohhh, I guess I sound a little evil

    Where is the DJ and dance floor? If in the main room, guests who want to talk to each other will probably migrate to the second room after dinner.

    Or maybe you can put the dance floor in the second room and have all the guests in the main room for dinner?
