As of 2020, the price of a wedding banquet table ranges from a few hundred yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.

Wedding banquet etiquette is complicated and particular. From seating to serving dishes, from the composition of dishes to dining etiquette, to the layout of the table, the placement of dishes, etc., there is a complete set of rules in various places.

Nowadays, most wedding banquets are held in hotels. For local marriages, most of the wedding banquets are set up in the local tent and people sit together with the villagers. When the wedding float arrives in front of the hotel, the best man should open the door for the groom first, and then the groom should open the door for the bride.

After the bride and groom arrive at the door of the banquet hall, their parents stand in a row to welcome the guests and express their gratitude for their arrival. At that time, the groom will mostly wish the guests blessings.

At the beginning of the wedding banquet, the emcee must personally arrange for someone to lead the bride's "guests" and bridesmaids to their seats to show respect. The wedding banquet seats are arranged in different places, and the specific seating methods vary from place to place.

Taking Yantai customs as an example, the bride’s guests are at the first table, and the host and guests should face the stage to facilitate viewing of the wedding ceremony. However, if the guests are from two different generations, they must be arranged separately. This is the so-called "two generations sitting at different tables".

When arranging the tables on the welcome list, it is generally called the first table of the dragon table and the phoenix table. When arranging the tables, it is best to arrange people of the same gender, age and familiarity with each other at the same table. In this way, having the same language at the banquet can enhance the atmosphere of the wedding banquet.
