Head Table
The focus of the reception room is traditionally the head table. Here are some head table tips!

1. Keep centerpieces low.
2. Make sure the table is placed where the DJ can see you.
3. Head table seating is traditionally as shown below:



Something Different:
Rather than having the traditional head table, sit at a large round with your bridal party and their spouses (or dates). If you have a large bridal party, this may require more than one table, but allowing your bridal party to sit with their dates will make the night enjoyable for them, as well!

Uncle Bob wants to be the DJ at our reception.
It's FREE!
Should we let him?


Ummm ... think twice!
