Table #'s?

So how did you ladies get your table #'s? I'm not sure of I should have assigned seating or not. Pros cons? Tips please! Thanks :)

Re: Table #'s?

  • I'm not exactly sure how the tables are being set up at our venue. So I have cards with names and each is seat in a a group by table #1. My friend is setting them up for me and will just arrange each set at the tables. Tables 1 and 2 are nearest to the sweet heart tables. And then ill have a note saying tables 5-6 need to be next to each other but not near table 1. Very simple.
  • I asked the hotel to send me their floor plan.  Then I modified it to have enough tables, and make sure that the locations match up with who we want closer/further from our table.
  • We did table names-- venue had a layout so we matched there numbers to our table names.  We are doing escort cards, so they will pick what seat they want at the table they are assigned to.  The escort card will say there table name and the venue will have a list prepared showing a layout of the tables so people will know exactly where to go.

  • Assigned seating keeps people from feeling like kids in a middle school cafeteria. It sounds really nice to be like, "We're all friends here!" But it's not really practical. Imagine that you're some of the last to sit down and there aren't enough seats for your party together? Or that you're a young couple and you have to sit at a table with a bunch of older folks...

    I'd go with assigned.

    Our venue has a layout for us. The table numbers are my old road racing numbers from marathons.

  • i agree with assigned table numbers, id hate to be dining with a group of people i never met & I am a very friendly person!  save that mingling for after the meal.

  • I am not doing them were having a smaller wedding and people just complain anyway, so were just letting them sit where ever.. I hope this works cause so far cant please anyone lol
  • Thanks ladies. I was thinking assigned I feel like I'm cutting some parties in half though. I guess I can sit them close to the tables. There wouldn't be enough either way I guess. I'll get with the moms and see who they want at theirs and where they think the crazies should go lol.

  • We had my husbands sister paint out table #'s 1-9 then each family or person was just assigned a table. I had all families sit with one another and friends and close relatives with each other so they would have someone to chit chat with.
