Seating charts

Hi everyone! I’m new to wedding wire and new to wedding planning! Our date is July 10, 2021; still pretty far out but we’ve been browsing venues just to be prepared and get our finances in order as well. One thing I noticed while browsing different venues & other wedding sites is that a seating chart seems to be a must in a wedding. Neither my FH or I have been to a formal, big wedding. Our family/friends have always done courthouse/backyard/casual weddings. So this “big wedding” stuff is very foreign to us. And if I’m being honest, I don’t like the idea of having seating charts to my own wedding. I want my guests to be comfortable and sit wherever they feel, and not have to feel like they are in school getting assigned seats. Besides, throughout the night absolutely no one will be in the same seats they were to begin with. Am I overreacting or is that just a “norm” in weddings?

I think those "cute" signs are basically saying, we are too lazy to assign tables, sit where you can find a seat. So no, you don't get to sit where you want, you sit where you find a seat. If you get separated from the rest of your party, not our problem. And if you go up to a table, and are told, sorry we are saving seats, well just too bad for you. And in all likelihood, the bride and groom are assigning seats to the first class people, the wedding party and their parents.
I rip up my check when this happens to me.
