How Does a Bride and Groom Figure Out Wedding Seating Arrangements?
Figure Out Who’s Coming Before you start planning out your seating arrangement for the wedding, you’ll need to have as accurate a guest list as possible. For this reason, don’t try to plan seating until well after your RSVP deadline; if the attendance status of some guests is still questionable, call them up and explain that you’ll need to know whether or not they’ll be there so that you can start making final wedding plans. However, don’t leave the seating chart until the last minute— you won’t want to be wrestling with it the night before the wedding. Aim to start planning out seating at least a week in advance of the big day. Once you’ve got a pretty accurate guest list, think hard about whether or not you’ll even need to have arranged seating.
