Wedding Table Plans - Are You Ready To Learn The Awful Truth?

Creating wedding table plans can be a deceptively stressful experience. During the early, halcyon days of planning a wedding you can be quite blasé about the whole idea of creating a wedding table plan. It's just something that happens, or which you'll be able to sketch out whilst you're having your hair done on the morning of the day itself.

As the days and weeks roll by you might start to look more closely at the blossoming list of guests, and further down the line you may start to visualise clashes and issues regarding where you place people.

You realise with horror what could happen if you seat Uncle Tim and his partner, Uncle Peter, on the same wife as Uncle Tim's ex-wife and her partner. Never mind, you think, how hard can it be scribbling out a few notes for wedding table plans?

As the big day dawns you begin to make real progress, until you realise the awful truth – that creating a wedding table plan is a bit like playing half a dozen games of chess at the same time, with the added bonus that if you lose any of them your wedding day is at risk of resembling one of the more dramatic scenes from a soap opera that's desperate for a ratings boost.

Perhaps you then decide that the easiest thing to do is to forget the tables for a moment and concentrate on just the top table. So you place the Bride and Groom in the middle, then the Best Man, the Ushers, the Maid of Honour and the Bridesmaids. Then you add the Bride's parents, but realise that you have a problem – do you add the Groom's mother and stepfather, or his real father, who's there too? Then you realise that his real father will be coming with his new wife, so you feel you have to add both of them.

Eventually you realise that your top table will be about 800 yards long, and the only people sitting in the main area of the room on one rather solitary looking table is your Great Aunt Gladys and Great Uncle George.

So you tear your wedding table plan up and start again, perhaps with the idea of abandoning a top table entirely and instead having the Bride and Groom on a romantic table for two, with all of your various family combinations divided up in appropriate groups on tables around you.

At last it's all looking as though it could actually work. Until Cousin Violet rings to cancel. She's very sorry but she's just been offered an interview for a job in Australia. So you look at your wedding table plan and realise that Cousin Violet was essential in helping to balance out one of the tables, so you scratch that plan out and start hurling people about with great abandon.

Essentially wedding table plans can easily become one of the most stressful and time-consuming elements of a wedding, yet why doesn't anyone tell you this beforehand?

The simplest solution is to use a computer based wedding table plan designer which does most of the hard work for you, and can allow for last minute changes without causing a riot. Wedding table plans really shouldn't be causing you more stress than the wedding itself!
