placecards

Is it ok if we dont have place cards, were going to have assigned seating for the parents & grandparents and then one for well , were getting married privately, so theres no wedding party but the other assigned table will be for us and 6 of our closest friends. Then I thought everyone else could just sit where they want ?

That is fine. Just make sure you mark the tables "reserved".

That's exactly what I'm doing with my seating - I'm not doing reserved seating except for the parents & grandparents, brothers and sisters and then the families of the bridal party.

Not having assigned seating (except for your close family) means less stress since you won't have to worry about making a seating plan and worrying about who knows/doesn't know each other and who you can/can't seat together. I think that sounds like a great idea! The less thought I have to put into things, the better! ;) LOL!

I have been to a couple of weddings like this, and they are fun, because it does put an informal spin on things!

The only problem is....sometimes guests do wander around looking for a place to sit AND sometimes people who don't really know too many people are kind of out of place.

I agree - that can happen - and I have a few people that will be coming to my wedding that won't know a whole lot of people - so I'm going to point them out to my hostess and have her introduce them to and kinda direct them to sit with people that I know they'll hit it off with :)

Perfect solution, reecey!

This is perfectly fine! Just make sure that there is some sort of direction for guests to follow - that way, they're not completely lost as to wear to sit for at the reception.

And for grandparents, parents, etc...just make sure to reserve those tables specifically for them. You may want to mark them somehow.

I hope this helps! Good luck

exactly - we're putting "RESERVED" signs on the tables with the names of those sitting at that table on the sign. I did this for my sister's wedding and it worked out perfectly :)
