Wedding Reception Table Ideas

When planning your own wedding reception gathering all of your wedding reception table ideas is good. You will want to think about the size of the room or marquee, how many people can you comfortably fit into the space?

If you are having a sit down meal, think about whether you want round tables or one long banquet style table.

Round tables mean that your guests can talk to all of the table rather than just the people they are sitting next to. A 5 foot round table can fit 8 people comfortably or 10 at a push. For 10 people you will probably have to put the side plates above the place setting rather than at the side. A 6 foot round table will fit 10 people comfortably or 12 at a push.

When you have all of your wedding reception table ideas together for the layout you will want to think about what cheap wedding centerpiece designs you want. You will also need to take into account space for a buffet table and serving stations (where the waiters will work from) if you are having those for your main reception.

Don't panic if you can't fit a dance floor into the space when you have all of your tables in place. You will easily be able to move tables off the dance floor for the evening to boogie! Maybe not in your wedding dress! A good job for the ushers if you are organising the work yourselves.

A good way to assess whether your wedding reception table ideas layout will work is to do a scale drawing of the space and then insert scale cut-outs for the tables, this way you can move everything around without the manual labour. Don't forget space for chairs and to be able to move around, also take note of the fire exits.
