Why should you use numbered tables at your wedding reception?
Numbered or named tables at larger wedding receptions of 300 or more guests are absolutely necessity to prevent chaos. Set up a table at the reception’s entrance with a place card for each guest. Have them arranged alphabetically and include the table name or number.
Names or numbers for smaller receptions may not be as necessary. However, they can be a nice touch for any size wedding reception. Additionally, having a seating plan can put you more in control of how the party atmosphere will progress. Consider ages, interests and personalities when arranging seating.
