Seating at Cocktail hour?

Is it needed? I'm a baby about wearing heels, and I always wear heels that are way too high. So I appreciate it. I'm just not sure if we need it.

Is it needed?

I'm a baby about wearing heels, and I always wear heels that are way too high. So I appreciate it. I'm just not sure if we need it. Our venue will have an hour long cocktail hour in our venue's courtyard. There is also a pond next to it that will have outdoor games available (cornhole, giant jenga, etc.) and a photobooth. We will have stationary & passed appetizers, and two bars.

If we do need it, do we need seats for every guest? Seats for half? Some standing tables and some seated tables?

Thank you!

    That's what you call freedom! What shoes are you wearing for your wedding?

    Ivory Badgley Mischka. My mom was telling me that I should think about getting the heel adjusted, but the heel is like 3.75 or 4 inches.

    We had 38 guests and I would say our cocktail hour had seating for about 12. It worked out just fine. We also had several high cocktail tables that people could lean against, set their drink/food on, which most people like.

    I'm glad that worked with seating for under half! We are inviting 220 people but expecting closer to 175. So I'm hoping we can figure out seating for 20-50, just depending on price for rentals.
