Reserved Seats

Kevin, on May 7, 2021 at 8:42 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 7
I couldn’t decide to do little chair tags or just a general reserved row sign for the ceremony, but my mom brought up that’s it’s general knowledge that the front two rows are for parents and grandparents and not to waste the money or efforts on signs at all. Do you think it’s self explained not to sit in the front row and that it’s for parents or should we do some kind of either general row signage or direct chair signage. Thanks!!

    Depends on if you are having ushers or not. If you have ushers then they can let people who accidently sit in the wrong spot that they need to move.

    Yes, as a general rule, it is self-explanatory that the front row at a wedding is reserved; however, if it's in your budget to have, and you like the aesthetic of having, little signs or tags, then go for it!

    Most people are aware the front rows are for your parents/grandparents/siblings.

    I would say signage is not necessary as it's well known that row is reserved. If anyone happens to sit there maybe have a family member your trust to kindly ask guests who sit in those seats to move as they are "reserved"

    I would put something there just to make it look nice. I actually went to a wedding with my FH and he was immediate family and guests sat in those rows so we had to sit way back.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: put the sign! We didn’t bother. It WAS common knowledge to avoid the front ...and our guests overachieved. They left the front THREE rows completely empty....some guests even stood to avoid that third row Smiley sad . To make it worse, we really only actually needed the front ONE row. I have some pics that look like no one was there hah. So I like the idea of a sign less to tell people where not to sit but to tell people where too sit! Don’t be like me Smiley winking . THAT said, I’ve been to weddings were someone in charge scooted people up— one wedding the coordinator moved people to fill in rows, one where the photographer did it to make sure people actually sat in the aisle seats. So it doesn’t have to be signage, but some sort of seating direction is key!
