How to seat your guests at your wedding reception Start Early There are couples who've been at kitchen tables the night before the wedding (or even wedding morning) just starting their seating chart. Don't let this be you—you've got more important things to think about at that point. Sure, it's fine to make lastminute changes, but try to get the chart mostly done at least a week before the day. Break It Down Create a new spreadsheet. If you haven't already, insert a column into your guest list document categorizing all the invitees by relationship: your friends, your family, your partner's friends, your partner's family, your family friends, your partner's family friends and so on. This way, you'll be able to easily sort the list and break it down into more logical table assortments. Now you'll need to separate these lists into distinct tables. Create a Paper Trail If you're more visual, draw circles (for tables) on a big sheet of paper and write names inside them (make sure you know how many people can comfortably be seated at each table). Or you could write every guest's name on a sticky note and place it accordingly.

Place Your Parents Traditionally, your parents and your partner's parents sit at the same table, along with grandparents, siblings not in the wedding party, and the officiant and their spouse if they attend the reception. But if your or your partner's parents are divorced and are uncomfortable about sitting next to each other, you might want to let each set of parents host their own table of close family and/or friends. This could mean up to four parents' tables, depending on your situation—or have the divorced parent who raised you (or your partner) and their spouse/date sit at the table with still-married parents. Remember, the parent-seating question is a flexible one. Set it up in whatever way best suits everybody. If you're unsure, don't hesitate to talk to the parents in question about it before you make your final decision. Tame Tensions There may also be situations in which certain family members just do not get along. Maybe they haven't spoken in years. Maybe the last time they saw each other at the last family wedding there was a drunken fight. Understandably, you want to keep them as far apart as possible. Think about these kinds of relationships (or lack thereof) before you even start making your chart, so you can take them into consideration in the first place and begin by seating Aunt Jane at table three and Aunt Lucy across the room at table 15. Trust us—they'll appreciate it. Provide Reunion Time All of your college or high school friends will be psyched to sit at a table together. It also gives them all an opportunity to catch up with each other, because they may not have seen each other for a while.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: When can I have my wedding rehearsal & when can I schedule it? A: Your wedding rehearsal will be booked during your final meeting 14 days prior to your wedding. We cannot guarantee that your rehearsal will be held in the same location as your ceremony nor do we guarantee that your rehearsal will be the day before your wedding. All rehearsals are to be done during regular business hours Monday – Friday 10:00am to 4:30pm. If you chose to hire a wedding coordinator they will be responsible for running your rehearsal and ceremony on the wedding day. In this case your rehearsal can take place on the back lawn anytime as long as the space is not being used for an event. You are still required to make an appointment to use the space.
