You are so on the ball. I wasn't even thinking about table numbers and stuff. I don't know if I want to mess with that now to be honest. I might just get people to sit wherever. I wouldn't even know how to organize the seating.  awwwwww what to do? Maybe I can do place cards and just organize the seating that way. This way people are fighting over seats on the boat. At least then it's all laid out for them. I won't do table numbers I can just put names on cards and put them on the tables. What can I use to hold the name cards though? Something cheap and that won't take up no room cause to be honest I don't know if I have much room left.

2 weeks today and we leave (leave April 13th) and I still feel like I have so much to do. When do you fly out? @@pddcmc.

My fear for you is on the boat placards would fly away or knock over. I wasn't on a boat and the wind knocked my frames over haha. It may be easier to do a seating chart but then if you don't do table numbers they wouldn't know which was which. Hmmmm let me think about it.

I am here on google now and pinterest trying to find ideas that are simple and cheap. And of course panicking at the same time..hahaha Why do I procrastinate so much?  I know you will probably come up with something. You have all the great ideas. No pressure....lol

@kcole I have an idea for you just do tags and tie them to the forks or glass or something

 

 

You can just use ribbon or string or bakers twine... And the tag come in a bunch of Color I've seen them at Michael's... Or you can get plain white ones at staples

Do I sit family vs family? Do I sit the parents together and bridal party at their own table?

[calgarybride2015]

There you go. Perfect idea

 

Also you could tie them to your favors if you are having some on the boat.

I think if you don't want to do table numbers you might have to let people seat wherever. I was just scared of people moving placings around, etc. I find there's always the odd person out at tables, sigh. I'm kind of type A that way haha. 

 

Michael's has some already made table numbers. Also, if you have a bottle of wine in each table you could print a label and put it on each bottle, that will for sure not be knocked down. 

 

Edit: I just saw the tags idea and that's really cute and easy! 

 

I sat both families together and family friends because they're the only people around the same age and then I tried to seat people who belong to the same group of friends together or at least in adjacent tables if there were too many to fit in one table.

That's a good idea too. I am going to drop into the dollar store after work today to see if I can find anything. Then if not there I will go to Walmart. Not many choices here in Wainwright haha

@@kcole123 I've seen tags in the crafty section of the dollar store here....I would sit them according who would get along together... For me my tables will be a bit mixed up...my FI only has 4 family members going and I have 12...so I'm just going to seat them kinda by who I think everyone would enjoy sitting with... We will see how that goes.... I do suggest telling them where to sit tho because I went to a wedding in Jamaica where they didn't and 1 guy was left without a seat! .... Resorts fault... But harder for them to screw up if they have name cards/ tags they have to put down

Yeah the more I think about it, the more I should have seating arrangements for guests.

 

I am here at work now and just finished organizing the seating hahaha in two minutes. It seems to be ok and that people will be happy with where they are sitting. It's only for a meal anyway.
