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.

FAQ

Domande frequenti

Should families sit together at a wedding?

Often they do, but the best grouping depends on family relationships, the size of each group and the kind of conversation you want at each table.

Where should a kids table go?

Place it within easy sight of parents or designated adults and away from service traffic, doors and the dance floor edge.

What is the difference between a seating chart and place cards?

A seating chart tells guests which table to go to. Place cards identify an individual’s assigned seat, if you are assigning seats within each table.
