OK BRIDES - Here is one of the questions we get asked about a lot in meetings and I thought I would share our view or expertise on the subject !
Should we do assign seating ? There are many different views on the subject but from a vendor view we would say YES !
Imagine you are have just planned the most important day of your life and you want it to be perfect and go off with no problems ! You have invited 200 of your closest family and friends to a place they have never been to and a wedding where they do not know everyone !
Imgaine the ballroom is set with all the perfect linen and decor and it opens and there is no assigned seating - Well first of all family members end up not getting a good view of the couple or prime seats with open seating ! Then you say well I will do reserve seating for a few tables - Great but here is the next problem - Your parents and his parents get their tables but what about all those relatives that say we are family why are we sitting way in the back - This happens over and over and they are upset and want the planner or the dj or photographer to start asking people to move around so they can be closer - 
Especially at a Latin or a ethnic wedding we highly suggest that assign seating is done only the fact is that people do get upset and want to be close to the newlyweds for thier big day ! Make sure and also give a seating list to your coordinator or your dj so when your guest can not find their seats we will have a list to help them find it !
This assign seating does not have to be a difficult thing to do - You get can pick up place cards at Target or at a local paper store in your area ! There are several websites you can go to that has ideas for this ! Even ask your venue sales lady what they have seen that works !
