A wedding is a celebration of love and commitment between two people. An event that brings two families together. Sometimes this is lovely, but other families, well they can have issues and dislike one another, making creating a seating plan. So, how can you create a seating plan that works for everyone?

Well, we say to think about you and only you. Think about what works best for you and not anybody else. Whoever you want closest to you, put them there, whether they like each other or not. On a day that is happy for you, everyone should feel happy regardless of where they are sitting.

You can also think about separating the families. Keep the groom’s family on one side of the room and the bride on the other. Friends from both sides can mingle together in the middle. This can create the most ideal seating plan for those families that may have unresolved issues.
