Where do women put their purses???

I think this will be like any other dinner/dance event. You leave your purse with a friend, take it with you on the floor, or drop it off at a table within eyesight. I have never let a table assignment prevent me from keeping up with my belongings.

I agree that I don't think it's that big of a deal. Though you are kind for thinking about it! Most women change into smaller purses for weddings. So it's not weird to carry it. But this is also family, so they wouldn't hesitate in leaving their belongings at an unassigned table. I imagine there will be tables of some sort.

I agree with OKD, table assignment or not I'd keep track of my stuff. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

PS- I'm in Philly too!

Many women bring a clutch or wristlet to a wedding so its not in the way. Same as a bar!

I always bring a clutch to weddings/parties and keep it with me the whole night.

Are there not enough seats for everyone?

I always just bring a purse small enough to dance while wearing or let it go and hope no one will steal at a friends wedding.

Also, I live in the midwest and I hardly ever see weddings with no seating chart. I would highly advise people to have one assuming they are having a sit down meal. Definitely not a midwest thing to not have a seating chart. Perhaps there are certain specific places within the midwest that skip them but as a whole I would say they are very prevalent.

This is legit the LAST thing you need to be worried about. Ladies will figure out their purse situation on their own.

Are you getting married at the reading terminal market? If so, awesome!

@onawho that was my first thought too! Or DiBruno Brothers

Wow I'm also commenting to ask if you're getting married at the Reading market. That's SO cool.

I think I would be more stressed about not having an assigned seat than my purse (which would be a small clutch). I'm from the north (Chicagoland) and assigned seats are the norm here. But I agree most women will have something small or leave it with a friend.

A seat for every person is recommended. Grown women should be responsible for their own belongings.

My license and cc go in FH's pocket avoiding the need for a purse...

I always leave my purse/clutch on my chair or under the table. The tablecloth is usually long enough to hide it.
