Wedding Dinner Seating Plan. Avoid a Food Fight.

Situation A: Julia purposely sat me next to that geek, Barry, at her wedding. I’m soooooo sitting her next to my guy’s cousin, who’s TWICE the dweeb Barry could ever DREAM of being! How great is it that she’s single again!?!

Situation B: If Aunt Mildred and Aunt Ethel haven’t spoken in 22 years, due to a long-standing feud over whose pecan pie is better, my wedding is unlikely to be the place where these two are going to kiss and make up. More likely that an icy cloud will hang over the entire table.

Revenge and bad blood aside, seating arrangements are a tricky business. There are X number of tables, seating for Y at each table, and you have Z number of guests. And a lot of people are just not compatible with each other. You do the math.

No matter if you're using pen and pencil or software, take your time doing this. It’s important and can make or break the party -- if not for you, then for some of your guests.
