Ok, I'm having a seating dilemma! I am getting married on the beach and will have chairs set up. However, my mom and I are not 100% in agreement about how they should be arranged. I have two parts to this question:
1. Is it better to have longer rows or more rows? For example, I am considering having 6 rows of 20 (10 on each side of the aisle) seats. She's worried that's going to be too many seats across... but I'm worried that no one will want to sit in the back where they can't hear anything we're saying.
2. Our guest list as it stands now (just a few RSVPs outstanding and we THINK we know what they'll be) is 92 adults and 10 kids. Do you think 120 seats will be enough? I know people tend to leave empties sometimes, but this is mostly at movie theaters, I feel like... not at weddings? Or in a pew obviously.
P.S. As an FYI to lurkers... I'm having a DW where the closest guests are 100+ miles away, most are 600-800 miles away and some live literally across the country and we are at approx 70% "yes" RSVPs. WAAAY more than we anticipated, but obviously not more than we're willing to host... don't think that people wont travel to your wedding!
