seating chart nightmare!

Tell them to make their table fun. Put people where you need to. They only have to sit through dinner.

I'm completely skipping seating charts but mine is going to be extremely laid back anyway. Good luck!

Yeah, for the most part mine was easy, but the last couple of tables are hard...I'm not stressing because I really don't know 100% who is all coming (only have 70% of my RSVPs back.) Your wedding is quite a ways away - I wouldn't stress about the seating chart yet.

Edit: oops - I was looking at Mrs.C's wedding date. Is yours August 31 2013? - your WW date says 2012.

I made mine. It wasnt so hard. I started by putting the more difficult people at tables and then working from there. It worked out well except for one of my friends I sat by one of his friends( they knew eachother ) but the girl snubbed my friend so she decided to talk to my neighbors at the table lol. I invited her to sit by us at the head table (as did my husband) but she insisted she liked my neighbors and didnt feel out of place at all so it all worked out

I had a really frustrating time, My parents are not together, and while they can be civil, I didn't want to put them close together, plus there were some friends and family that I wanted to keep away from my DHs bosses table... just don't worry about people so much, do the best you can. You won't be able to please everyone

I had several "fun" tables :-) What makes it fun, your younger friends? Honestly if they are that fun they will be up dancing the majority of the night, so I don't think it's a big deal..it'd be pretty rude if they got pissed.

I am so torn on this subject. I was not going to have assigned seating but then I had great idea for table number décor. My adult daughter is saying no don't do assigned seating but what if everyone clusters together and not want to be as social? I am from out of state with a few friends and family attending but he has a large family from here.

I'm dreading this part. We have a few family members who refuse to talk to each other and would probably walk out if they were seated anywhere remotely close to each other. And there's a few that I want to make sure are NOT seated near tables with children since they can be very inappropriate. And I don't want to accidentally put a single by themselves around people they don't know. Just hang in there! You might not be able to get it perfect but I think once people get there they'll have fun regardless of where they sit

As a guest I would rather have assigned seating (as long as the bride/groom are mindful of seating people where there is a good match of people.) It's fine if you are part of a close knot group of friends, or immediate family, because it is pretty obvious where you should sit, but when i'm an "odd one out" it is much less hassle to just be told where to sit.

Thanks for that input Michelle!
