General wedding discussion!: can u have a seating plan if your having a buffet

1 to 21 of 21

- CommentAuthorlittlemisssunshine
i am just wondering if its still ok to have a table plan for guests even if your only having a buffet as the food? as me and my partner have thought about doing this instead of a wedding breakfast as we are wanting a afternoon wedding and also to keep the costs down lol
- CommentAuthorXLittleMissMe!X
Yes you can. It helps as sometimes people can take up seats and then when a larger family group want to sit together they can't. It doesn't matter that its a buffet as they can go and get their food and then go and sit down again.
- CommentAuthorlittlemisssunshine
thats great im so glad u can do that i didnt want people to think i was stupid when they walk in the room lol
- CommentAuthorChrissy~MrsFaulds2b
Yes, i've been to lots of weddings that have had a buffet style wedding breakfast and they have all had seating plans. What usually happens is they have you go to the buffet table by table so theres no large queues forming and as Jo said you have family etc sitting together then :)
- CommentAuthorlittlemisssunshine
ooo that sounds good does the bride and groom go up first with the top table? also is it ok if the buffet is in the same room the party part will be in ? sorry im pickin your brains so much i have only been t one wedding and i am very new to all of this i didnt expect there to be so many things that needed doing lol looking through pics that people have got on here they have service of order things ect lol i didnt no about them its just so mind boggleing lol but i am very grateful for all the help i am been given

- CommentAuthorChrissy~MrsFaulds2b
The bride and groom usually have theirs brought to them but it's up to you and yes the top table will go first. As for having the buffet in the same room, yes of course you can. It's your day and you can decide how you want rooms etc to be laid out. The orders of service are optional really, you don't have to send them out so don't stress too much. I know what you mean with having so much to think about. I think my head is fit to burst any day now lol xx
- CommentAuthorlittlemisssunshine
lol thanks for that ill have to think about who could serve us lol or shall we go up instead why cant weddins be straight forward lol thanks again x x
- CommentAuthorXLittleMissMe!X
Yep like Chrissy said that bride and groom go first ( I would get my own rather than someone else putting their fingers all over it and giving me something I don't want) then the top table. Every one else descends afterwards. Most people form an orderly queue so its not like you will have a stampeed on your hands. The weddings I have been to have had the top table at the back of the top table and to the side so you can put it where ever is the most practical for the room.

yeah i dont think i would like dirty fingers over my food lol yeah we have got to go and look at the first venue we have thought about but we are not allowed to start the after the wedding thing till 7 is that 2 late after a afternoon wedding to have buffet and party? we only are looking there because its more practical for the h2b family to get to as there coming down from leeds lol and that venue is next to the reg office :? obs we dont want them to have to travel even more so really we are stuck lol
- CommentAuthorNuttytart
You can have what you want. This is at least organised so everyone has a seat and theres no chaos.
- CommentAuthorlittlemisssunshine
thanks lol i dont want any choas on the day lol
- CommentAuthorrainykins
I went to a wedding over the weekend and the couple done a buffet with a seating plan, it worked really well, as everyone knew where they were sitting it made life a little less chaotic xx
- CommentAuthorlittlemisssunshine
yeah i think i will have to do that as i want a nice peaceful day and the after eating and the disco /party they can move around and mingle lol
- CommentAuthorJane

- CommentAuthorHalloween_Bride
we are having the buffet in a separate part of where we are all seated but will still be accesable (sp) just saves room on having to move tables around etc

- CommentAuthorlittlemisssunshine
one place we night consider has a conservatory where we can put the buffet food but it was where my nans wake was so we are un sure if we are goin to book it but its really cheap x
- CommentAuthorMaggielou
We're having a table plan-but not officially structured seats. We're laying the table as u would 4 a sit down then guests can carry their plate up. Know that seems a bit silly but the tables will look much nicer on arrival we think?
