Hello Ladies, Just a few notes on this! Everyone does have a personal preference of how they like to coordinate the reception dinner. You may choose to assign each guest to a specific seat or a specific table which keeps things more organized and trying to keep a good balance at each table. From experience we have found that having a master seating chart or escort cards are very helpful, you can choose to do place cards in a creative way if you wish. If you are having speeches or announcements try to place the guests giving them facing the wedding group so they will not have their back turned to anyone. Another helpful hint is to try to place pregnant, disabled, any guests with children as well as elderly guests somewhat closer to where the bathrooms and other facilities are accessible. For a thought, a really neat and personal touch is having pictures of the bride & groom at a certain age represent the table number. That way your guests can enjoy looking at pictures of the both of you at a young age as well as locate their table number! There are several themes and ideas you can do with table numbers and name cards as well it always looks nice if the colours match the decorations! I hope a few of these hints helped!
