Although the seating arrangement of the wedding is not the most important issue in the wedding preparation, if it is not properly arranged, it is easy for the wedding that should win applause to have the opposite effect: the wedding atmosphere is embarrassing, the guests do not enjoy themselves enough, and even bring unnecessary misunderstandings and contradictions. Therefore, when preparing for the wedding, we must carefully determine the number of guests, study the types of guests and arrange seats for each guest, so as to ensure the smooth progress of our wedding. The first step is to estimate the number of guests. The initial number of guests is usually determined when booking the venue. Newcomers generally have to consider two factors: one is their ideal wedding atmosphere, and the other is the size of the venue. According to the former, plan whether the guests you invite are mainly relatives or classmates and colleagues of the same age, and according to the latter, finalize the number of people you need to invite. When determining the number of people to be invited at the beginning, it is best to reserve 10% space in case the guests can't come. Step two, make a list and send an invitation letter. According to the initial number of guests determined in the first step, the relatives, friends, classmates and colleagues of both men and women who need to be invited are listed in detail by category, and invitations are sent out 1~2 months before the wedding reception. Although the network communication is very developed now, it is more polite and sincere to use written invitations. Mind you, don't forget to remind the guests to reply to your time in a gentle tone in the wedding invitation. The popular "blessing card" reply method is very good. The third step is to determine the approximate number of people. After issuing the invitation card 1~2 weeks, you can start to confirm the number of people. Distinguish guests according to three types: exclude those who can't come for some reason, put a tick before determining the names to attend, put a question mark before some ambiguous names, and indicate the deadline that the other party may determine next to them. Then count the number of guests by category, and take the number of people who can definitely attend the wedding as the base, with an extra 10% to prepare for the specific arrangement. The fourth step is to arrange the seating table. In the first seating arrangement, those guests who are sure to attend and those who may attend should be considered. The general arrangement rule is to arrange the relatives and friends of both men and women in the left and right directions of the wedding venue, with the red carpet for newcomers to enter as the boundary. Relatives and elders at home are arranged in the inner circle near the main table according to custom. Classmates and friends of the same age as the couple are usually very noisy, but they are arranged in the far outer circle. This can not only show respect for the elders, but also easily create a lively wedding. The fifth step is to confirm the number of people about 2 weeks before marriage, and the couple should launch a final offensive against all invited guests. Please call again to confirm whether you are a guest who promised to attend before or a friend who needs to be considered. Although this is troublesome, it is a key link in whether the seating arrangement is perfect. On the one hand, it is out of courtesy, on the other hand, it is also to prevent temporary changes. Make a list of final confirmation, and then reserve a table or so as a temporary shift for the day. Step six, finalize the table number and location. According to the final guest list, fine-tune the table arranged in the fourth step. When arranging the seat number, consider some numerical taboos, such as 4, 13, which are unlucky in the eyes of many elders and had better be removed. The number of men and women should be balanced. 2 ~ 9 is the man's table number. 10 ~ 15 is the woman's table number, which will cause her some unhappiness. It is best to arrange the seat number of each guest, which is not only a respect for the guests, but also can prevent the embarrassment that the guests can't find a seat on that day. Tips for seating arrangement: 1. Lawn wedding: If you choose outdoor wedding, especially garden and lawn wedding, you should know in advance which guests are seriously allergic to pollen, and be careful not to arrange these guests around the garden. In addition, don't arrange seats with children near lakes, depressions, highways, slopes and other places with potential safety hazards. 2. Hotel Wedding: The seats at the wedding banquet are related to the traditional customs of China people, so we can't be careless. If the arrangement is the most reasonable, we can discuss it with both parents in advance. It is best to have a seat label on the dining table so that guests can find their seats accurately. 3. Special restaurant: arrange single men and women to sit at the same table and arrange some team competitions to help them become friends and make good friends the protagonists of the next wedding. "Takeaway" for the wedding banquet: It is suggested to adopt a free vertical dining table in addition to the main table, which is convenient for guests to freely combine and make more friends.
