Reception Seating For Wedding Party Guests

We are having a rather large wedding party and will be using a head table that includes the bride, groom and the entire wedding party. One of our groomsmen is bringing his long time girlfriend. She does not know anyone at the wedding and would like to sit close to her boyfriend. We have no idea where to seat her. What do you suggest?

When the wedding party is large consider using a U-shape table with the bride and groom seated at the center of the center table followed by the attendants seated with their husbands, wives, and significant others. One would never want to have a guest feel alone or out of place. So for wedding parties that are large, use round tables positioned next to each other. The bridal couple may be seated at their own table or with the Best Man, Maid of Honor and their respective partners while the other tables will play host to the remainder of the attendants each seated with their partners.

Reception Seating For The Bride & Groom

There are options when planning out the seating arrangement for you and your groom. You may choose to have a head table consisting of the bride, groom and attendants.
This table is typically a rectangular or U-shaped table. When the wedding party is large or you prefer to have attendants spouses or a significant other sit with them you may consider using two large round tables positioned next to each other. Then, the bridal couple can be seated at their own table or with the Best Man, Maid of Honor and their respective partners. Children or siblings of the couple may also sit with them.
