Get Expert AdviceNo Wedding Party Table at Reception
I am looking at venues for our reception and along with that table set ups. We prefer long tables. I have always loved the idea of not having a wedding party table and sitting amongst our guests. At this stage we are not having a formal wedding party just my nieces and nephews as flower girls and ring bearers. Does anyone have any examples of how couples have done this? Or advice for and against doing this?
National Museum Of Australia
Such a beautiful idea. We've had couples do this, they simply placed themselves in the middle rows of their long tables so they were amongst their guests. It worked really well, the couple were very happy on the day.
