Place Setting for Someone not Eating

I would do the place setting just like everyone else's, no need to draw more attention to this guest.

I agree with Caytlyn. Don't draw more attention to the person and just have it set up like everyone else. Also I would let the caterer know so they can let whoever is serving that table know that she will not be eating so they don't have to ask (since you said she is not really verbal). Maybe if you have people attending the wedding who know this person, you could seat her with them so they wont even ask and know the persons condition.

Thank you all, I feel much better now. I think I was overthinking. Great advice on letting the caterer know and not drawing attention!

Will he need water or anything to drink? Or a place to set a bag or anything? I'd probably just do the place setting.

It's incredibly sweet of you to make sure his comfort comes first! I agree that having his place setting the same as everyone is the best option

Id still do the place setting but maybe include a little something extra just for him, maybe a small version of an item he loves, a special thank you card or some sort of picture, etc. Just a small trinket, show of gratitude for his attendance and a way of including something at his place setting.

Jenn - this is a great suggestion! Thanks so much for offering this advice!
