Hi there, I’d be grateful for some views or advice on the above. We’re having light refreshments (cake reception) after the ceremony at the church for everyone who has come along, and then the ‘invited guests’ (about 150) will come to an evening reception with a buffet and band etc. The food will be served in a separate room next to the main room to keep it cooler. The room only takes 150 max, so we’ll be pretty full to capacity! And there will be a mix of round tables and rectangular ones. The plan is to serve the buffet fairly early on, then have some music, then stop for cutting the cake and some short speeches, then more music etc.
My thinking is that we don’t need a table plan, and we just let people sit where they like, and mingle/move around etc. But I wonder if there are any flaws to that idea, which I haven’t thought of? Also, I’m not sure whether it would be a good idea to set aside one table for us (or us + parents and BMs/Best man??), or whether we just sit ‘wherever’ and mingle as well.
Would be grateful for any thoughts or experiences? Thanks so much!
