Table seating for main table only

Lindsay, on September 25, 2019 at 1:07 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 13
Is it weird to have a seating chart for the main table only? I want to make sure we are each sitting next to our best man/ maid of honor. The other guests will have assigned tables but not assigned seats at the table.

    Wanted to add- our wedding party and their dates will be sitting at a main table with us.

    I think this seems fine! I'll probably do it as well. The rest of the guests will have a table but not a seat because it's a buffet and a little less formal. I didn't feel the need to pick their exact seat.

    It’s not weird. A lot of people have preference for where their head table people should sit. Since everyone is getting assigned tables, just do normal escort cards for the wedding and share a seating arrangement for the bridal party with your group before hand. I wouldn’t post it anywhere at the wedding for guests, that could be confusing if they think they need to sit a specific place at their tables as well. It’s easy enough to let the party know where you want everyone.

    Seems pretty typical.

    I think that's fine! I'd just put place cards on the main table specifically then the rest do a seating chart.

    We're tossing around the idea of doing this as well. I don't think it's weird at all.

    If you don't want an official seating chart, get mugs/glasses with their names on it and have those placed where you want them to sit.

    My dilemma is that most of my wedding party is already married or in serious relationships but their other halves are not in the wedding party. I don't know if I should seat them together or not. Either way it seems weird. Help!

    Seat people with their SO. Right beside them, if a large round table, or beside or across from them if a rectangular table.

    I think it is fine, as long as you give people a table assignment
