Creating a wedding seating chart can sometimes be one of the most tricky parts of wedding planning. You’ve finally narrowed down your guest list, collected RSVPs, and now you must dictate who will sit where. There are many things that you may have to consider here:
- Layout of the venue
- Number of seats per table
- Total number of guests
- Parties / Households (who needs to sit together)
- Dynamics of the attendees
- Will you have a ‘kids table’?
