Wedding Seating Chart with Family Tables
Family-based table names can make a wedding seating chart easier to understand before individual guests are assigned. This garden-tent layout places the couple’s table at the front, keeps the dance floor in the middle and gives family, friends and children distinct tables around it. A named-table approach works especially well for a small reception where groups already know one another. Start by putting the closest family groups near the couple, then reserve supervised seating for children and leave a simple route from the entrance to the dining area. Keep gifts and drinks out of that route. Confirm the tent dimensions, furniture footprints and required paths with the venue before using the chart on the day.
