While there’s no rule that says couples must assign seating at their weddings, most do opt to making seating charts because they just make the whole affair easier. When you assign seating, you ensure that every table will be filled, prevent your guests from wandering around looking for open seats and help waitstaff. Follow these tips to make a seating plan for your table rentals in Maui.
Choose Table Shapes
In general, the shape and size of your rental tables will determine how many guests may be seated around each one. Round tables are traditional and give more leg room, but rectangular tables tend to fit more people and make it easier for your guests to converse.
Start with Your VIPs
Head tables are popular for couples that want to highlight their wedding party and keep friends close, but sweetheart tables create a more intimate setting for you and your new spouse. If you opt for a sweetheart taste, seat your wedding party and their guests at a nearby table. Also consider keeping your parents and other VIPs nearby.
Organize by Groups
Divide your guest list into groups, like college friends, co-workers, family members and more. Keep groups together as much as possible and make your guests comfortable by seating them with people they either know or with whom they share common interests.
