I'm not telling people which seats to sit in only which table. However I still would like to do place cards so I'm thinking of leaving these on the tables and people can grab them and put them at their setting. The only reason for this is because there will be quite a few people sitting at tables where they won't know everyones name and I don't know about you or them but I always appreciate having someone's name written out in front of my rather then having to say "um sorry your name again was".

We did this, just had a table at the front entrance with names and stickers, and had a seating chart. Most people knew what to do

I'm doing this too. Assigned Tables, but not seats.  And I'll have all the place cards on the table as they enter the room.  They will be color coded for the entree options (or with a sticker or something).  The wait staff needs to know who is having what. 

I don't want to be responsible for giving someone the "bad seat" with their backs to us or something. so basically first come get the best seats at the table! hehe.

I'm just letting people sit wherever they want. Not even assigned tables. We are not having a sit down dinner like most people.. so I don't think its gonna be a huge deal. Fh and I are probably just a little too lazy to make a seating chart.

Instead of table numbers, we named each table after a tree (Fall theme ) and we listed every guest seated at the table on the table name picture thingy:


We also did reception programs which listed a thank you message to the guests, order of the evening, and a "Who's Who" list explaining everyone's relationship to the bride and/or groom:

I only assigned tables, not seats. We only had 8 people per table and everyone at a table knew each other, so I felt it would be way too much work to assign actual seats.
