Who makes the rules for seating charts and why do they have to be sooooo complicated. I figured that I would conquer something that should be simple and not very time consuming. It is proving to be more difficult than I thought. Part of me says that you are all adults and can seat yourselves, the other part of says I don't want chaos so I should just tell people where to sit. While looking at the seating chart it seems like there is no way to not upset someone. Either all the tables will be filled up with family or families will be split. I have this vision in my mind of how I want the tables to be setup and that doesn't seem like a possibility with the seating and who will want to sit with whom. I can't fit everyone that I need to at the same table and if I put some of them at the other table they will be offended. Why does everyone have to have such a big family? I love both of the seating arrangements pictured below but I don't have nearly that much space. Along with the task of seating I am working on decor for the reception. I can't have candles everywhere because we can't have open flames, I can't afford to have flowers everywhere so really what can I use? Balloons? tissue paper flowers? I can't hang things on the walls (which also limits what I can do). I'm really stuck at this point and have no clue where to begin. Now I understand why people hire wedding planners.
I'm writing this blog to keep track of my wedding thoughts as well as the planning. I'm not the best at writing or explaining myself at times but I figured this would be a great idea. I'm a bride who is trying to plan a wedding on a tight budget and still get what she wants. My goal is to plan a wedding that is fun and stress free. I'm not gonna sweat the little details just plan the big ones.
