With the wedding in 15 days and all of my RSVPs complete, it's time to get down to our seating chart. Ha, and I thought that the guest list was difficult.
In order to fit everyone into our space comfortably, we will need to fill as many tables of ten as possible. Most caterers prefer the tables of 10 but some will let you get away with tables of 8s or 9s. So as I look at my guest list and who is coming, I need to figure out how to get 145 people to fit comfortably. And I also have to make sure that they are comfortable with who they are sitting with.
Everyone has said that in the last month before the wedding, the drama happens. When you are trying to figure out who can sit with who and who won't sit with who, you are suddenly faced with a kind of seating chart puzzle....and the drama comes to the surface.
Well can Aunt Irene really sit at the same table with Uncle Jimmy who she had a fight with last week? Or can Jane and Tom sit at the table with the rest of your college buddies since they broke up a year ago?
Hence my puzzle.
So Grandma Annie doesn't want to sit close to the speakers or Cousin Vinny wants to be as close to the food line as possible. Just because I sit someone somewhere doesn't mean that my day, or even there's for that matter, is going to be ruined. In my family, you sit to eat and the rest of the time you are on that dance floor. I have a feeling that our friends will be the same way.
So equipped with a handy mock floor plan and my Post-Its with all of the names of my guests on them, I will conquer the seating chart and cross another thing off my list. I'll let you know how it goes.
