If the bride and groom want a more intimate wedding head table, they can be seated at a small round table together and their wedding party can sit at another assigned wedding table or they can be integrated into the guest table seating plans. If you choose an intimate wedding reception head table seating plan, remember to have it centrally located and to sit facing as many guests as possible, the day is for you and you are the focal point of the wedding.

Try to create an arrangement that makes everyone feel comfortable and honors special guests when you are arranging table seating for your guests. It is proper etiquette to designate tables for the bride and groom’s parents and grandparents. Be sure that all of the parents’ tables are equivalent in size and importance.
