A seating chart is a nice added touch for your guests to show them you care about each and everyone so much you made sure to think about where they would sit and made sure to give them a spot. Also, if you have any dietary concerns it helps to have a seating chart for your wedding planner, caterer and banquet manager.

There are pros and cons to both but I would always recommend a seating chart as it eliminates chaos and makes a guest feel thought of and special.

We have been to a few weddings without seating charts and they pretty much confirmed that we will definately have one.

At a smaller wedding we weren't really sure where to sit, because we didn't want to offend anyone who felt like they should have had a closer seat then where they ended up. People were 'saving' tables, it was silly.

At a larger wedding it was chaos. In the end social groups and family were seperated and people were sitting not even with their dates. It made for a quiet meal!

We both decided from those experiences that we would have a seating chart. We have family and friends who will be up and about as soon as the dinner is over so they are not 'legislated' to those seats for the night.

I tried telling all this to FH, but he is not letting in!!!! He is just so stuborn!

Well you could always make up a seating chart, give it to one of the bridesmaids and make sure she instructs guests to the proper table .... your FH will not even notice this being done because he will be busy greeting guests in the receiving line.

Make an executive decision ... and overrule him!!! Arranged seating is less chaotic. Like you need to worry about mr and mrs so and so being split up for dinner and then trying to get guests to change spots?? as if.... make the chart and tell FH to suck it up!

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.

Making the decision to have a child-it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.

The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom.

To understand a mother's love, bear your own children.

Mother is the name for God on the lips & in the hearts of little children.

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. 
 

  Mrs. M and loving it!!!
