How much to guests ACTUALLY care about chairs?

@Muriel - you make me laugh every time you post. I want to be your friend. That said... As long as everyone has a seat, I'm happy.

The only time chairs at a wedding are an issue is when a bride/groom suggests that some butts don't need a landing pad because, you know, it's expensive to rent chairs, and a bunch of guests can just stand because their ceremony is only half an hour, blah, blah, blah. That's an issue.

What kind of chairs you provide don't matter -- as long as they are in reasonably good condition and are the same color/style. Don't sweat this. One per person -- that's your goal.

IMO I think chairs make a huge difference on how your venue looks. I personally got the chavari chairs because of the look I wanted that wouldn't look okay with any other chair style except for the chavari. But I do like the white ones. They're simple but pretty.

Quite a bit. Wooden chairs are the only way to go.

I agree with previous posters - I don't think I remember any chairs from weddings

Save the money

We didn't spend any money on our chairs, and no one noticed. They were just plain chairs. Use your money elsewhere!

Save money! Guests *usually* don't care about how a chair looks. Of course you have those boujee people, but for the most part they're there for you guys, food, drinks and dancing!

I personally don't give a damn about chairs, as long as I have one

Guests don't care unless they can have a seat on the other hand brides care because it can make an impact on the look of your decor

I would just go with white. My venue comes with ugly plastic folding chairs for the reception but it isn't worth the extra money to switch them out

You're right, I doubt guests care about the chairs other than comfort. I have heard that bigger people don't like the chairs like your white ones, bc there's not enough space for them to sit back... just something to consider.

Guests won't care. I would just be particular about the chair color for the sake of photos.

We are very happily using tacky ass metal folding chairs for a $1 a piece. All anyone coming to our wedding cares about us having a place to park their butt. I'm sure that's the case for you too OP. Get whatever chairs you like.

I like the white ones! Those will be our ceremony chairs and they are actually pretty comfy

Guests don't care about the chair at all, but I think it's the bride that may care about the look of the chair in overall decor.

No one cares and no one notices unless they are horrifying.

I'm doing the white chairs as well.

A few things that I never remember from a wedding:

1) Centerpieces...I only know that there was something there.

2) Type of chairs...the only time I remember the bride had chosen chivari chairs was because my purse kept falling through the back of the chair where there was an opening.

3) Any special tablecloths and napkins

I don't care what it looks like as long as it's comfortable and not wobbly.

I would just sit in the chairs and go with the cheapest comfortable option. No one cares unless it's uncomfortable. At a short ceremony it won't matter much, but a long reception it'll be a huge pain for anyone sitting most of the night.
