Any thoughts on seating assignments for e-party? It's definintly more work for mw but I've been told it makes some people more comfortable.
The man where I'm having my e-party said bride/groom usually sit at their own table. Normal or wierd?
Thanks!

Re: e-party seating
We did seating b/c we wanted people to be able to sit with their friends/family and not be broken up. It was more work, but worth it for us. We had about 62 people. We sat at a table with our parents and siblings and put grandmothers at tables with the extended family and BP w/ friends and younger cousins. (our age). We didnt have an option of siting at our own table though and our room was wierd with al different size tables so it was really hard to do tables. It worked out well in the end though.

Re: e-party seating
We are doing our e-party (this sunday!!) very causal...no seating arrangements...everyone can just sit where they want...I think it will be ok if you decide not to do seating charts.

We didn't have placecards at our e-party, and regret the decision. Its the only thing we would have done differently about that day!

Re: e-party seating
we didnt have placecards, it was more of an open house feel, everybody could walk around and sit where they wanted to, it worked out great

Re: e-party seating
we did seating - we didnt wante veryone just ramdomly sitting places and people getting stuck sitting with people they didnt know - it worked out fine!! - we went to an eparty without assigned seating and it was horrible. people were bringing seats over to tables where people they wanted to sit with were sitting 9but wasnt enough room) other tables had 5 people at them instead of full - i just didnt like it
as far as where you should sit - we didnt do a separate table for us. We tried to keep our eparty more like a party and not the wedding. We sat with my siblings and some cousins - but we hardly sat. my parents and their siblings sat at 1 table and FHs parents and their siblings sat at another table.

Re: e-party seating
I would say that it depends on how formal you want your party to be. For ours, we chose not to have assigned seating because we wanted a more relaxed atmosphere. We figured that would be best since we were just having a buffet dinner and pretty much the only time people would be sitting would be when they brought their plates back to the table... the rest of the time people were up dancing and mingling. There were no toasts/speeches/etc that people would have to be seated for. Most of the party worked out the way we figured it would anyway- family tables, work tables, etc. A bunch of our friends met for the 1st time at the party and were great company for each other at their tables, introducing themselves making a group for a table all on their own.I had maybe 1 or 2 tables of people who chose to add more chairs to their tables than we had set up the tables for, which we didnt care that they did, but then it left some tables with less chairs so those tables werent totally filled up, but there was nothing we could do about that. Everyone at the larger tables wouldnt have been able to sit together, had we done assigned seating. So while my tables didnt wind up looking the way I had set them up with enough favors for the original number of seats, etc, it all worked out. Had I had a more formal affair with plated entrees, I would have gone with assigned seating.
