5. The Seating Chart
Wedding parties are not all about eating and drinking. What people do at all sorts of parties is they communicate. It’s important to seat people the right way so that they could feel comfortable next to their neighbors. You can mix or match your family members – close people most often find common topics they can discuss. It’s not though wise to seat your cousin who is, let’s say, a young single college student next to a mature married couple. Before seating people consider their marital status, age, occupations, and interests.

6. The Venue
It’s nice to find yourself in a stylish place with ultra modern furniture and accessories. But do not forget that fashion keeps changing. Just think how your pictures (and you in them) taken in that ultra contemporary place will look like in 10 or 20 years. Give preference to classical solutions. They have been tested by many and so far they have proved to be the best. They are elegant, always comfortable and, which is not less important, they will never go out of fashion.

7. The Bar
What your guests will get to drink is not less important than any other of the 6 aspects mentioned above. Quality of the booze matters, of course. Another thing that matters is whether your guests will have to pay for it. A cash bar is not an option. Most guests would find it even offensive. In order not to hurt anyone’s feelings, think of other possibilities. Talk to your vendor and you might find a way out. It’s not a big deal if you cannot afford a full open bar. Let the list include fewer drinks, such as wine, soda, and a couple of cocktails but make them free!
