MARRIAGE: HOW TO ORGANIZE THE TABLES OF THE GUESTS

If for your wedding you have opted for the lunch or the supper sat, it would be better that you are you to fix the places to the tables, to avoid that the guests goes wandering about looking for a nice or less unpleasant face of the others. To make the correct combinings is not a cinch, because it will need to consider the friendships or the enmities of his/her/their relatives among them. In every case, we will try to facilitate you the assignment, with small suggestions. You first of all try to know exactly the number of the guests. This will also serve you to give the confirmation to the refreshing one of the precise number of the covered ones.

Usually the restaurants prefiscono to prepare the room for the marriage with round tables from six or from eight places, where the guests will sit him in base to the disposition that you will give him for you. The basic rule to prepare the tables for the reception is that of “to separate” the guests of the family of his/her/their bride from those of the family of the bridegroom. This could serve to avoid the embarrassing silences created by those people that sit to the same table not knowing himself/herself/itself. After this first division, you can proceed to a further division, systematizing, for instance, in a same table, his/her brothers or the sisters of dad, with the respective families and, equally, in another table, his/her brothers and the sisters of mother, with the families to the succession. Obviously you will have to keep in mind the general number of the components of every family.
For a more consistent setup you will have to also consider the personal situations that only the bridegrooms and his/her own parents know well; for this motive it will be the case to make together the assignment of the places, also looking out upon more possible solutions, for then to reflect and to choose that more suitable.

As it regards the friends, you/they should not be us particular problems, enough not to separate the couples of fiancés. If then you want to do a favor to a friend and to a friend single, you can make to happen them to the same table…… he can never know. In last, the parents of the bridegrooms will sit in a table apart, even everything whole, while the bridegrooms can sit alone, if their table is round, or together with the witnesses, if the table is greater and rectangular.
The scheme that you could adopt for putting the tables in the room foresees after all the table of the bridegrooms to the room, in the center, so that is perfectly seen as soon as he enters from the door, while all the other tables must be set along the side walls of the room so that not to stop the view of the table of the bridegrooms. The order of preference wants next to the table of the bridegrooms the table of the most narrow relatives and then as all the others. Besides, the bridegrooms can sit alone in the table or together with the respective parents, or together with the witnesses, alternating a man and a woman. His/her bride goes to the left of the bridegroom.

To show your dispositions to the guests, can use a notice-board for the places, to put before the entrance of the room. On this notice-board you will reproduce the scheme of the present tables in the place of the reception, inserting to every table the name of the guest. To facilitate the things, can give an appellative to every table, for instance using names of flowers of constellations or of precious stones. The select appellative will come, then brought on a nameplate positioned on the same table,; every guest won't have to do anything else other than to remember himself/herself/themselves the name of the table to which is sat, being free to choose the really place. In alternative, you can use some segnapostos with the name of the guest.
If the structure that you have chosen for the marriage is found in a particular tourist area as the coastal amalfitana or the coast ligure, an idea could be that to retrieve, even in internet, images of the various places and instead of attributing only the name of a place to every table, you can directly reproduce the photographic image and to position her/it on the table.
