If you are planning your wedding, congratulations. Although it can be extremely stressful trying to plan a wedding, on the day of your wedding you will love the results of all your effort. Wedding planning can be even more stressful if you are on a budget. You will need to do a lot of the wedding set-up work yourself. Here are some tips to help make setting up the banquet tables at your wedding a little easier.
Think About The Basics
First, make a list of all the tables you will need. Make a rough estimate of how many attendees your wedding will have. Ask the venue or the rental company how many people can sit at each table. In addition to tables for your guests, you will also need a table for gifts, and a table for the cake. Some bridal couples like to have a separate kids’ table with coloring books. You will also need a long banquet table for the bridal party.
Make A Seating Chart
Once you get all your RSVPs back, you can get a definite count of the number of guests attending. Then, you can get started on your seating chart. When you make your seating chart, make a sketch of the layout of the tables. This will help you with the set-up later. Once you make your seating chart, you can see if you have enough tables. If you are renting tables and many of your guests cannot attend your wedding, see if the rental company will allow you to downsize your order. Do not get too stressed while you are making the seating chart. After dinner, guests will mingle as they like.
Decide About Place Settings And Tablecloths
If you want china and tablecloths, rent an appropriate amount from a party rental store. You can also decide if you want silverware at this time. Tablecloths can make your event seem much more formal even if you are on a small budget.
Set-Up And Centerpieces
Arrange the banquet tables how you want them. Make sure that there is enough room to walk between the tables. Finally, place your centerpieces in the middle of the table. Your set-up is complete.

One idea is just to keep your decorations basic. Maybe decorations around where you are going to be exchanging vows as well as few decorations around your seating area. The wedding and reception can be in the same area and you can have a few tables set up with minimal decorations set up behind the seats for the wedding or even have people sitting at tables already for the ceremony if you are trying to conserve space.

Using a Seating Chart to Fill Banquet Tables?
When you’re planning a wedding, banquet, or other large event, the usage of table space is always a big issue. If people are seated too close together or tables are too close, it’s almost guaranteed that the night will have a number of spills, falls, and other accidents. On the other hand, if there are too few people at a table or tables are too spread out, it’s hard for guests to mingle. Preparing a good seating chart ahead of time is the best way to use banquet tables efficiently. As you begin to plan your seating chart, start with an RSVP list. People aren’t always the best about RSVPing on time or at all, so you may need to make some calls to find out if last-minute stragglers will or will not be attending your event. Once you’ve done that, you can make a list. Including guests who may or may not attend, you can narrow your RSVP list down to a range. Use the high and low numbers of this range to create your seating chart. With the banquet tables you’re using, figure out how many each table can comfortably seat. Using that number, determine how many banquet tables you’ll need to seat all of your guests. Compare the number of banquet tables you’ll need to the space you’ll be filling—it’s quite possible that the number of banquet tables you believe you need will not fit well into the space. If that’s the case, you may need to increase the amount of people at each table. In this case, be sure that people are still comfortable—you don’t want to cramp your guests. Continue with these calculations until you have a good compromise between amount of people per table and amount of tables in the banquet space. You can now create your seating chart—place people with family and try to mix them up a bit for the best mingling opportunities. By using a seating chart, you will fill up the space as you need it to be filled and you will prevent people from squeezing in at full tables and leaving other tables empty. It’s the best way of ensuring your banquet space is used well!
