Take a Look at Tips for Choosing a Veil for Your Wedding Day

While most guests will be out on the dance floor during your wedding reception, they will also spend a great deal of time at their seats. Therefore, you will want to ensure that they are pleased with where they are placed.

With a properly planned seating chart, your wedding reception is sure to be a success! That’s why, here at Mountain House on Sunday River, we have gathered some tips to assist you with planning yours. If you are all set to take in some great advice, be sure to continue reading:

  • The Newlyweds. It is your big day! Therefore, you should certainly stand out within your wedding reception. By sitting at your own sweetheart table, you will be highlighted, and guests will also be able to locate you with ease. However, if you would rather sit with others, it would be best to sit with your bridal party.
  • The Children. If children will be attending your wedding, you can give their parents a break by placing them at their own table. Present coloring books and crayons, activity books, and even glowsticks, as a wonderful way to keep them entertained.
  • The Singles. Your wedding day will have an array of guests. So, you will most likely have some single attendees. If so, avoid placing them all at one table, as that could have them feeling incredibly awkward. Instead, place a couple single guests at each table, and know that you can even play match-maker if you have the opportunity to do so.

Planning your wedding seating chart doesn’t have to be a daunting task! In fact, if you utilize these tips, you can create yours with ease.
