Reception floorplan

Was your dance floor directly in front of your head table? Im trying to figure out the best layout to fit all of our tables.


How did you figure out your floorplan?

    Mine was in front of the head table. The primary concern is for walking paths. You want people to be able to move through the space and you need about 36" between people sitting in chairs for people to walk between tables. But, the layout will all be about walking paths. For example, do you want everyone walking past food to get to bathrooms - probably not. Do you want photos of speeches and the head table to have to be timed by people walking by - probably not. The same goes for anywhere there might be a line of people. Your venue should be able to help - unless you are having it at a house.

    Yes definitely agree. Some of it will be eyeballing once we physically set up. I will make sure to add pathways in between the tables. But i just wanted a rough idea of how we would set up. Everything is diy. The venue doesn’t help. But I did try to ask where the dancefloor usually goes but I didn’t like her response lol. But actually I think I figured while I was talking out loud. Im a little ocd and need to at least have an idea of what I want. Reception floorplan 1

    Have you considered moving you cake against the wall near your sweetheart table, instead of it’s current position? Seems like a better location and it will allow the 6 tables on that side to be better arranged.

    Its a super rough sketch because I dont even have all the tables I need on there lol. But if need be then yes I would definitely consider moving the cake table. I actually thought about putting tables along the wall next to us. My mom will be taking care of my baby & she asked that I put her table along the wall & kind of away from others. So I will probably do the same on the opposite side so it looks even.

    This is similar to my layout as I am also having a reception under a tent.
