If you’ll be serving a formal, seated meal at your wedding, you probably want to take the extra step of making seating assignments for everyone. Why? Because if you don’t, you’re likely to get questions from guests. Seating assignments will help avoid confusion and backed-up lines while people are deciding where to sit. Besides that, pre-planned seating will help the waitstaff serve with accuracy, because they’ll know in advance how many chicken, beef, or vegetarian entrees are going to each table. Here are some tips to help you plan seating that works.
1. Don’t Procrastinate
Seating may seem like a detail you can plan out last-minute, but the earlier you begin, the better. Try to have your seating chart finished at least a week before your wedding day. Your caterer may even need it earlier than that. If you need to make last-minute changes, those will be easier to do if you have a set plan.
