The wedding that Mr Corn and I attended in Seattle last weekend was on the larger side of medium...I believe there were around 180 people in attendance. This was the first wedding I have ever attended where there were no assigned seats or tables.
When planning for our wedding, Mr Corn often mentioned that he just didn't understand why we needed to spend so much time on certain things. One of those 'things' were the escort cards and place cards.
Last weekend, as we milled around with a bazillion other people in a surreal game of musical chairs trying to scope out two seats together that weren't saved by chairs with coats hanging over them or balanced on tables, I turned to Mr Corn, smiled, and said, 'this is why we spent so much time on escort cards and place cards'.
In all seriousness, there were some pretty tense moments as the immediate families of the bride and groom tried to find places to sit until they were eventually directed to a few tables up front that said 'reserved' on them.
With so many options out there for seating arrangements, running the gamut from ornate seating charts to creative favors/escort cards to a pack of pre-cut cardstock from Staples, it really doesn't make any sense to leave it out of your wedding, regardless of your budget or style. In then end, it will definitely make your wedding a much less stressful event for your guests.
