Jeannette, on June 13, 2021 at 12:38 PM

What is everyone doing for a formal exit or just leaving their wedding in general? Also, how soon before the end of the party do you plan to leave your guests?

Seating chart poster or escort cards
Richaelyn, on June 5, 2021 at 11:26 AM

Which one do y’all think would be easier for guests but still budget friendly for the couple? A seating chart poster or escort cards? I’m doing only assigned table seating.

Farmhouse tables pushed together or separated?
Kari, on June 10, 2021 at 10:57 AM

We had another couple drop out so are down to 47 guests, BUT the plus side is we can now use six 8-foot (8 person) farm tables with only one "gap seat" so that works out better for our table setup!...
