Wedding Talk: Seating Guests

how-to-seat-wedding-guests-dream-design-weddings
Dream Design Weddings offers advice on how to seat your guests
So, you’ve chosen the venue, finalized your floorplan, and received all of your RSVPs. There's only one major to-do for you: decide how you're going to seat everyone. 

The seating plan is the last major hurdle in the wedding planning process, and don’t let it get you down! You’ve survived the majority of your wedding planning and this is the last to-do before you say "I do."

You may think you don't need a seating plan but you definitely do.

Yes, it can get tricky, but a seating plan allows guests to easily navigate their way to tables. You don't need to assign specific seats just allocate tables. Don't be afraid to mix it up a little with your seating plan and don’t worry about your guests being surprised! Simply group family and friends and then split a table--the easiest way to tackle a seating plan. 

The biggest piece of advice we can give is give yourself time to do it. Traditionally, RSVPs can be mailed in two weeks prior to the wedding, however, we tell our brides to have a cut-off at one month prior. It gives you a week to call any stragglers and then allows you to get to work on your seating plan. 
At the end of the day, your wedding guests will be delighted to be part of your wedding, so if they’re not sitting next to their BFFs or stuck with Uncle Doug, they’ll just make the most of the occasion because after all it's your big day and they're there to celebrate.
Seating your guests doesn’t seem quite so daunting now-or at least we hope not!

Wedding Expert: Johnnie Nussbaum at Identity Promotions


Monogrammed gifts and favors for your wedding. Personalized by Identity Promotions.

Identity Promotions is full service promotional products and specialty company. Perfect for all your custom wedding day needs! From welcome totes to goodie bags event to custom water bottles, we offer it all!

Identity Promotions' number one focus is client satisfaction. They understand how important it is to actively listen to their clients so that they have a complete understanding of how to meet client's needs.   A client once asked what our motto was and why it was important. I said, our motto is a simple one, it’s based upon our belief that we want to treat our clients in the same manner that we would want to be treated if we were the clients. So, our motto, “Our products are what we offer, our clients are who we serve, our reputation is what we sell,” aren’t just words on a paper, they are the way in which we approach every project we work on. 

Personalized wedding gifts by Identity Promotions
What is your specialty?  We offer a wide arrange of items, but in the wedding arena, we limit that to customized gift bags, guest giveaways, and bridal shower and bachelor party items.  The great thing about customized items is that you get to pick and choose what you want. For example, for a Las Vegas wedding, we did custom imprinted gift bags that included, a “hangover survival” kit, chocolate poker chips, Chex Mix, candy mints and an assortment of mini top shelf liquors. For a beach wedding we prepared custom imprinted beach bags, with monogramed labeled water bottles, sunscreen, lip balm and hand sanitizers.  We’ve done wine glasses, napkins, picnic baskets, personalized candies and towels, sparkly bridal shower shirts, and prankster bachelor party shirts. That’s the beauty of custom products, they’re not stock sayings or pick and choose logos, but are designed to make it all about you and your guest.


What sets you apart from others? We follow our motto to the letter.  Also, because we are a family owned business we are personally involved with every aspect of the process. As such, we develop personal relationships with our clients.  As a vendor, or second party provider, we understand that our job is to make the process easier and to fulfill our commitments so that our clients can fulfill theirs, thus ensuring that everyone has a terrific experience. 


What are you noticing a lot of brides doing? Becoming more daring in their themes, colors, locations and overall wedding day experiences.  It’s more about owning the day, not so much about following tradition.

I'm obsessed with: Besides my dogs, I’m obsessed with sites like Pinterest and the Internet to find interesting and exciting things for both personal and business use.  During one of my Pinterest fun days I found these quaint decorated Mason jars. One of my friend’s daughter is getting married in June and the reception will be held on the family’s farm, I thought, 'wow, these would be a perfect guest gift.'  She loved the idea!
