A place for everyone

There are a lot of questions that arise around the location of guests at the table. For the important thing is not for everyone to have a place, but to have the right place. The way you put the bride and groom at the tables is important if you want your friends and family to know each other and if you want a happy, homogeneous party.

Otherwise, isolated churches may form and the general atmosphere may not heat up as it should. Here are some tips to help you: Take a pencil and a piece of paper and make a sketch of the room you want, on which to draw the shape of the tables (round, square, long, etc.) and the number of chairs from each. The sketch will help you better visualize who, where and with whom. Once you have decided on a specific room, talk to its manager about the way you want the tables, chairs, people to be placed. For this you should already know approximately how many people you will have at the wedding, even if their number is not nailed yet. The mass of the bride and groom must be somewhere in the center of attention, so that they can be easily seen from any direction, because it is reserved for places of honor. Usually, next to the groom (the bride to the groom's right) are the parents of the two, the bride's parents next to the groom and vice versa. Other relatives - brothers or grandparents - as well as godparents can also sit at this table. If the bride's or the groom's parents are divorced, the situation is more delicate. It is possible that one of them will come with the current partner and then you will not want to have discussions. If you are not sure how to divide them, so that no one feels wronged, place the families at the tables in the vicinity of the bride and groom's table, leaving very close friends, godparents, etc. at the table of honor. It would be best to shuffle the guests so that each gentleman has a lady by his side. Of course, when it comes to couples, things are simple. But surely many unaccompanied guests will come and then your flair for people intervenes. Because you will have to think about who matches who, which of them would get along well, would have something to discuss at the table. After all, the movie cliché in which idylls are linked at weddings is not completely disconnected from reality. Avoid the little churches! Mix friends and relatives in such a way that a happy and cheerful mix comes out. Of course, you will not go so far as to separate very good couples or friends. But a wedding is a joyous event, where guests can meet many people from the wider circle of bride and groom, and this is only for their own good.
