Obviously I'm going to contact the venue and ask for another table to be added.
But I just realized when I was looking at our table layout that the venue is not providing enough tables for everyone and stupid me didn't even realize that would be a problem and signed a contract saying that we are renting 12 tables that seat 8. Which is 96 peoples seats when we are renting 110 chairs for the reception.
First off, where in the world are they putting those extra 14 chairs? It should be 13 or even 14 tables instead!
Second off, why didn't I notice this earlier?
My fiance has no idea why this is even a big deal and was telling me I was "freaking out" over it, when I wasn't. I just firmly was saying that not having enough chairs/tables for everyone to be able to sit down during dinner was completely not acceptable. I know some people aren't going to show up, and we'll probably have a whole extra table. But I would much rather expect everyone to come and want to sit down and have it available than just not have a table there!
He even told me that we should just take the extra chairs and put them out so people can squeeze into tables, or set some tables with 9 people at them [which I don't want to do because I don't want uneven numbers since most people will be couples]
Am I nuts for worrying about this? I feel like everyone thinks I'm over reacting by wanting there to be enough or even a little extra room for people.
I'll have to email the coordinator but i feel like a total doofus for not noticing that when she emailed the layout plan to me! I also feel dumb because it almost made me start crying when I realized that this had happened, and I just am so upset about it. I know it's not the end of the world and easily fixable, but it's stressing me out.
