Once you begin receiving RSVPS from wedding guests you should start arranging them in possible seating groups. Decide who must be seated at the same table, as well as who cannot be seated together. To help you find the ideal seating chart for your wedding, here are some tips from iVillage Wedding Etiquette Expert, Sharon Naylor's book, Notes From the Mother of the Bride.
Getting Started
Seating kits are available through party planners or party stores. They are a huge help in arranging your tables. If you cannot find them, here is an easy way to do your seating:
Buy packages of sticky notes in the smallest size in two different colors: One for bride's guests, one for groom's guests. Use regular sheets of 8.5 x 11-inch paper. Write the last names of each guest on the appropriate color sticky note, using one for each unit (a unit being a single person or a couple). Arrange the sticky notes on the sheets of paper in numbers corresponding to your table size, i.e., eights or tens.
