    ladies i want advice
    im having a hot buffet for my reception for my day guest, my reception is at asocial club as we couldnt afford a hotal or anything, im decorating the room and dressing the chairs and tables like any other venue,
    but i was playing around trying to make a table plan for my day guests after speaking to my mom she said not to bother with a formal table plan just to have a table for the bridal party and dress the other tables and let everyone sit where they want
    what do people think about this would this be ok or should i do a table plan i dont mind doing one just wondered what would be best

    i would say the table plan only because i know what my friends/family are like and it would have been a nightmare without one no matter what the venue xx

    thats what i was thinking but my mom recons people would rather sit where they wanted but i thought if i just group them in families and then come the evening when the evening guests get there they can move if they want it would only be for food and the speaches

    I was in a similar situation to you, had my reception in a village hall, but dressed it properly with chair covers and stuff, and I had a bbq, not a formal 3 course meal. However I did do a table plan as I didnt want to fuss of people wondering where so sit, and taking ages trying to decide where to sit. It worked very well with the table plan and I was glad I did it.I think it just helps things be more organised and less stressful x

    It depends on your theme hun? I just used numbers to name my tables as me and the husband couldnt agree. What is your theme?

    lol, well if there is something you really like then you could name the tables after them, like if you love films, you could name them after your fave films, or if your sports fans, you could name them after famous sports people. We just had numbers though but there are lots of things you could do with table names. My best friend got engaged in vegas and was going back there for her honeymoon, so named their tables after famous hotels in vegas.
