Wedding Forum - Reception setting...

Hi Everyone,

I am having a hot buffet to save money for my reception. I don't know if to still plan the setting and place people on tables or just let them sit any where and just have the main table for me and the groom excetra>

What is everyone else doing?

I should also add, I went to 1 thta didn't have a seating plan, and it was a bit mad! Whole thing just seemed unorganised!

I am most likely having a buffet instead of set menu for breakfast and I will defo have a seating plan.

Yeah thats what I think too. But just wondered what everyone else thought! XXX

we are having an evening buffet, for 150 people, but we are having 80 people come to the ceremony, as we are having speeches etc between the ceremony and the buffet, we are have seating for 100 people, so will seat the 80 people attending the ceremony, and setting out a table plan, the others than come in the evening can sit at the available spaces, or in the bar area, lounge area or garden area of just stand and mingle. people will probably move from table to table, but the spaces will still be there if they want to return to them later on :) x

i would have a seating plan. will be easier for the guests rather than trying to find somewhere to sit

we're just having a bbq for our reception....but are still going to have a seating plan and then a few spare tables incase people want to mix it up a bit ha.....we've just got a big bit of slate and will be using chalk to write our seating plan onto it...cheap, cheerful but looks amaaaazing!xx

My friend also had a seating plan and it means that everyone sits together with the people they know etc. There would be nothing worse if couples had to be split up etc because of the way everyone had sat down and left the spare seats.
