1. Who Gets Invited: The Evolving Rules
Traditionally, the rehearsal dinner guest list includes immediate family and the wedding party. But times have changed, and so have the rules. Nowadays, it’s not uncommon to see extended family and close friends joining the pre-wedding festivities.
2. Is a Seating Chart Necessary?
Whether you need a seating chart depends on the formality of your event. For a laid-back dinner, feel free to let guests choose their seats. But for more formal affairs, assigning tables (if not specific seats) can help avoid any awkward moments or chaos.
3. The Ideal Seats for the Nearly-Weds
The almost-newlyweds should have the best seats in the house. Ideally, you’ll want a spot that offers a good view of the entire room, allowing you to see and interact with all your guests.
4. Why Chair Choice Matters
When it comes to seating, don’t overlook the importance of the chairs themselves. Chiavari chairs are a popular choice for their elegance and durability. And if you’re looking for something that goes beyond the usual, our Chiavari chairs offer unparalleled durability, supporting over 2000 lbs, and come with a 7-year warranty. Plus, they’re eco-friendly and available in a variety of colors to match your theme.
Your rehearsal dinner is more than just a meal; it’s the opening act to your wedding. A well-thought-out seating chart, complemented by the right chairs, can set the tone for a memorable celebration.
