When you are choosing wedding reception floor plans and are deciding where to seat your guest there are a few things to consider.
- If you are having children at your reception you may want to place them all at the same table if they are old enough to sit alone. This way if you have a separate menu for the kids, the servers know exactly which table to serve the kids menu.
- If you have guests that have come alone then you may want to seat them with at least one other single guest so that he or she isn't the only loner at a table full of couples.
- It's really great to try to get your guests to meet new people. If this what you desire then you should group your guests by similar interests or age so that a couple in their twenties isn't stuck at a table full of retirees.
When deciding on wedding reception floor plans make sure that your guests aren't far away from all of the action. They should at least be close to the head table, dance floor, or entertainment. Place the cake table close to the bridal party so that it isn't stuck in some obscure corner. Do not put the cake table directly in front of the bridal party so that it doesn't block the view of the guests to the bride and groom. Make sure that the DJ, band or other entertainment is somewhere near the dance floor.
