Seating for rectangular tables

FH and I are looking into having one long rectangular table for our DW reception on the beach. I was wondering about the seating chart though. We will sit somewhere in the middle of course but who sits directly across from us, next to us, etc. Parents? Wedding party? Or personal preference?

Has anyone had one long table for their wedding reception? What did you do? Or what would you do?

The picture below is what we're envisioning.

It will be a small group but not everyone knows everyone. Let me know. Thanks!

It's up to your personal preference! We sat with our immediate families, but it also worked out that we all fit perfectly at one table.

I'd play around with the seating chart to see a few different scenarios of what you could do!

H and I had our MOH and BM next to us, and the parents all sat together opposite us. I would start with something like that and then fill in the outer seats from there.

We had a couple once with the same question. They ended up sitting at the end of the table (used a wider table that allowed for seating for two) and they loved the idea of being able to see (out) all their guest dining as opposed to being in the middle and having guest to your left and right and further out (depending on the length of your table).
