Seating Plan in Wedding Ceremonies

The wedding positions have been filled.  The father-of-the-bride has prepared his wedding speeches.  The children are being attended by their parents to fulfill their roles as ring bearers and flower girls.  The best man knows it’s coming and is just waiting for a signal to start.

The union of the two souls, indeed, needs a structure to execute a ceremony that is worth remembering.  The designation of wedding roles makes sure that the wedding outline is supported.  To further provide organization, planning a seating arrangement will ensure that the ceremony is kept running without any unexpected interruptions.

Differences and Disputes

Family differences are often brought up during the meeting of the two camps.  It is in a gentleman’s creed to place her bride’s well-being first, but the groom’s family often trims it to conditions that are humane.  Disaster is just waiting to happen in such scenarios.  Perhaps a divorced couple is invited bringing with them their new partners.  In such cases, it is highly advisable to separate their seating as far as possible to deter any flare-up which could ruin the formal celebration.  Make sure that their seating slots are placed at equal distance from the front to avoid the notion that your party is taking sides.

Children Assignments

A wedding is never complete without children.  Even with a formal celebration, informalities in the form of children loitering around are still welcome; but only up to a certain degree.  Children are best seated on weddings at separate tables restricted only for them.  Offering some items to play with such as coloring books keeps conversations with parents and children and discourage them from creating any ceremony distractions.  Parents’ cooperation is especially needed to accomplish this task.

Group Issues


People attend weddings in groups.  If you’re hesitating in piecing them out, don’t.  There’s a lot of time left to socialize and mingle in later parts of the wedding.  Later, people can tread the dance floor and interact without restraint.
