Planning Your Reception The modern western wedding is an average of about 5 hours in duration, giving newlyweds plenty of time to mingle and exchange cheer with honoured guests, family and friends. Your wedding guests need to be given careful consideration, with regards to seating positions, table placement, and access to various amenities and formalities. Guest Table Layout There are a range of guest types at most weddings, from young children, parents and close family, old school friends, close work associates, through to elderly and disabled guests. Not only do you need to think about who will sit at each table, but also how those tables should be positioned. For example, we do not advise that you seat your elderly guests near the band or dj speakers, conversely you may want your elderly guests to have a clear audible view for your wedding speeches. Your disabled guests need to have clear access to amenities, and need to be positioned to view the key formalities such as 'the cutting of the cake ceremony' and the 'bouquet toss'. Guests with Other Guests The most common reception table configurations offer seating positions for either 6, 8 or 10 guests. You will initially want to group guests according to their genre, for example family with family, school friends with school friends and so on. However, you may find that there is an overflow of guests from one table that need to be mixed with guests from another table. This is where you need to be both considerate and diplomatic. You may decide to create a table for your younger teenage guests, or a table for children, which can be strategically placed at the rear of the other tables. Other issues such as inter-family rivalry, feuding, and issues amongst old friends will be a deciding factor in determing both guest table seating and table placement.
