In my hall they are round tables and rectangular tables. I’m going to be using the round tables for the guest but i’m not sure what should i use. I won’t be using special chairs I have chair covers in the wedding so i will be using the same chairs as the guest but i’m not sure about the table. thanks in advance.
hmmm… maybe you should try setting it up to see how it looks and then make your decision. my fiance’s brother had that same problem last year and i’m trying to remember if they eventually used the round or the rectangular table for their table. ok i went back and checked the pics. yeah they ended up using the rectangular table. it separated their table from the rest. just make sure to make it extra pretty so that everyone knows that its your table. good luck and congrats.
We have all banquet tables except for pur sweetheart table. He and I share a square tableand the rest of the bridal party have tables on either side so they can sit with their families or SO’S. All my maids are married except one and she has an SO so it seemed only fair.
Ok it depends if you are going to sit with your wedding party or not. If yes then generally a rectangular table is what people chose to use, if no than a round table or what is called a sweethearts table just for the two of you. You can have it set in the middle of the other tables (not in the middle of the dance floor) so everyone can see you since it is your day. One of my friends but their table on a platform in front of the dance floor with the guest table framing, mine was similar but with out the platform. You can decorated it differently from the other guest table so it stand out if that is your desire, but if it just you and the groom, I’m sure everyone will know it is yours. Also, regardless if you go round or rectangle if it’s just the two of you pick the size that only accommodates no more than 4 so it looks more intimate. I hope my answers helps you a little, planning a wedding is stressful and you don’t want to stress too much of a table… Good luck and enjoy
We had our tables around our dance floor. They were all round. We sat in one of the tables nearest the dance floor in the middle where everyone could see us.
We had round tables as well. My husband and I had our own sweetheart table and our wedding party and close families had tables close to ours. It was perfect. Everyone in the wedding party was able to sit with their families and we were able to sit with only each other… it was nice to have the alone time because the day had been CRAZY and we hadn’t had a moment until then to chat! Consider it… it was cool
At our reception my husband and I had three groups of rectangular tables and we used a smaller round table in the middle of them for us. We had family style seating so everyone else sat where they wanted. We also used a different colour table cloth for "our" table than the others.
At my wedding, the entire bridal party sat at one long table, with us in the center, and then three couples on one side, three on the other, and the guests were seated at round tables. Our table faced our guests.
we had round tables for the guest. Rectangular ones for the head table. It was set up exactly like we originally wanted. But there was a reason for that. we were married at the Christian camp i went to most of my life. The chapel has only stairs leading to it. My dad was in a wheel chair. so he couldn’t get into the chapel. So we did the whole thing in the dining hall. so not to have to take the extra time to change everything around. We opted to have our table at the opposite side of the room. It was in a 7 My husband me my MOH and his BM were at the head table the bridal party was at the table along the side. It actaully looked very nice. To me it was more important to have my dad give me away. then to have the head table in th perfect area. I know some might disagree. I just lost my dad. I’m glad he was here to give me away. Even if if my brother had to push him down the isle in his wheel chair.
We are sitting with our wedding party at a long rectangular table. Our child attendants will sit with their parents for the meal. We don’t have chair covers, unless the come with the package, who cares, no one will see them and no one will be talking about them. "OH my god, did you see those chair covers!" I have never heard that one.
