Ok, Ladies, I am trying not to drive myself crazy with wedding planning so when there appears to be something that might not need to be planned, I think twice.Married ladies, and everyone planning, is/was a seating chart a big advantage? Is it really helpful in making the reception nice for everyone? FI and I will have a range of people, some single, some married, some older, some younger, some from college, some from work, just a mixmash. I feel like folk will naturally gravitate to the people that they know and will be happiest if I don't seat them but let them sit where they want to sit. But that's me. I'm outgoing. I've heard that some people are not comfortable not having assigned seating. I want my guests to be happy. At the same time, I do not want the time investment or expense of making out seating arrangements and escort cards, etc. if it's not really going to make anything any nicer or if the guests will be just as happy finding their own seats.What did you do? Was it alot of work to do the seating charts (if you did them) alot of expense for the cards (if you bought them). Did you let people find their own seats. Did that work out ok? Did people start pulling chairs from other tables and squeezing in at tables where there aren't any place settings (I've heard that this could happen although I would hope my guests have more class than that, but who knows).What did you do? How did it work out?
