I'm having my wedding reception catered, and I'm not real big on pre determined seats. Do you have to have a assigned seats, I'm pretty sure I've been to weddings where it was open seating, but many of those where just fellowship hall receptions. I figured people could sit with who they wanted and have 2 tables reserved for the bridal party and their families. Do you HAVE to fool with escort cards and place cards and such? What exactly is the purpose of place settings?
Thanks for any advice.
