Head Table Seating Plan.

Head Table Seating Plan.
***************************

This is the formal seating for any head table at a wedding reception and can be referred to as standard protocol. Seating is viewed from sitting in an invited guests position and is as follows: The Best Man, The Father of the Groom, The Mother of the Bride, The Groom, The Bride, The Father of the Bride, The Grooms Mother and last The Maid or Matron of Honour.

Some Brides like to have their whole entourage on the Head Table and I always suggest that it is much better if tables adjacent left and right of the head table are used for this purpose, this is where Bridesmaids and Ushers may be seated. Also there should be enough room behind the head table for the bride to walk with ease, also that the catering staff can serve without hinderance.

Guest seating can be in several forms, either at round tables of eight or in spur form at 90 degrees to the head table. This of course depends on what the venue can offer.
