Okay so the problem is.....
We are having a marquee....sit down is for 130/140 people.
Evening guests will probably be around an extra 100 people so taking the total upto appx 240.
Everyone during the day will have a seat obviously, which they'll more than likely stay at for the duration of evening.
The issue is what do we do about seats and tables for evening guests?
There will probably will be enough space for about another 3 round tables (seats 8/10) at one end of the marquee so that would add 24 ish chairs.
The thing I'm concerned about is....are these tables going to look weird set up with no one sitting on them for the whole day?
If we were to take this route of adding 3 more tables surely we would need them set up before hand and not rely on others to set them up once the speeches had finished and before evening guests arrive?
I'm really confused about what to do!
We have also got 6 poseur tables (tall bar tables) with 3 bar stools round each in the bar marquee which will give us 18 seats but i don't feel that's enough?
I know that we don't need to provide seating for all the evening guests as not everyone sits at exactly the same time but they at least need somewhere to put their drink and we have plates for the evening buffet (pig roast) plus salads etc so we can't expect people to stand holding plates surely????
Honestly, any suggestions are welcome as me and OH have gone over this so much and are a bit baffled!
Would be good to get an outsiders view on it ?
