Party Tips
Table layouts
The reception room table layout will depend upon the shape of the tables your
venue provides and how the tables are best arranged to make the room look
balanced for the number of guests to be seated. Round tables, for example, give
a much more pleasing and spacious look than two or three long tables that join
to the top table. A typical reception table layout (shown left) will have one
long top table for the bridal party and as many round tables as required for
your guests. A round top table should be avoided if possible because the view of
the bride and groom will be obscured by others on the table and several of the
bridal party will have their backs to the other guests. A small table placed to
one side of the top table is ideal for displaying the cake in its full glory!
Guest seating arrangements
Your close family and friends should be seated nearest the top table with other
relatives and friends sitting further away. If you have round tables, guests
with partners are usually seated side by side. If you choose to have long
tables, partners are usually seated opposite each other. It is customary to
alternate male and female guests. If you decide to split up couples, they should
not be too far away from each other. Children should always be seated with their
parents. You should ensure as much as possible that your guests sit with people
that are known to each other as this will make them feel more comfortable and
facilitate good conversation.
