Are ghost chairs practical for reception seating?
Ashley, on August 5, 2021 at 6:26 PM

I'm obsessed with the look of ghost chairs for a modern looking reception but wondering how comfortable they are. Has anybody gone to an event with ghost chairs and can weigh in?

Assigned Seating vs Reserved Seating
Madison, on August 5, 2021 at 9:07 AM

I originally said I was going to do reserved seating for the reception but now am thinking about assigned! What did you do and why did you think it worked well?

Sara, on August 3, 2021 at 8:43 AM
