Table Seating

One of the hardest things a couple has to do is decide who sits with whom at the reception. This can be a daunting task, and sometimes irreconcilable. Last night's wedding included 300 guests and the bride and groom seemed to succeed spectacularly at the table arrrangements. The only way I know is that my table had a grand time. My husband and I knew no one but the others at our table all worked together and they enjoyed each other (even though they worked together) and we enjoyed them (even though we knew no one).

That said, I know couples who have open seating. Believe it or not, this is not so risky. People who know each other will find each other and strangers are still strangers and have to fend for themselves. There is that added benefit of putting a few strangers together that you think might get along, but that's like fixing people up. It's hard to find a match that's more than superficial.

So if you're perplexed about seating, consider the second option. It's all a roll of the dice, anyway.
