First, the number of wedding tables is particular.
1. The number of wedding tables cannot have unlucky numbers.
In the traditional customs of China, 3 and 4 are not auspicious numbers, so when arranging the number of wedding tables, the numbers 13, 14, 23 and 24 should not appear.
2. The number of tables in the wedding banquet should be even.
In China, even numbers are popular, which means pairs, while yes-men mean good luck. Marriage is a festive occasion, of course, even numbers are needed! Therefore, the number of tables at the wedding banquet should be even, and each table should be arranged in even numbers such as 8, 10, 12, which is more auspicious.
3. In addition to the total number of tables, there should be a table for the wedding banquet.
Usually, the number of tables at a wedding banquet should be reserved for two more tables on the basis of the total number of guests, in case of unexpected events at the wedding.
There shouldn't be any vacancy on the table in front.
At the beginning of the wedding, the front seats must be full, and there can be no vacancies. This is because the China wedding banquet has the intention of pursuing auspiciousness and perfection, so if there is a vacancy in the front row, the wedding organizer must make timely adjustments according to the relevant situation at the scene. Generally speaking, kinder relatives and friends can sit in the front row of the wedding banquet.
Second, the matters needing attention in the seating arrangement of the wedding banquet
1, main table arrangement
The main table is the core part of the wedding banquet, so the number of main tables is also determined according to the size of the wedding.
If the wedding is small, arrange a main table and arrange the parents, elders and VIPs of the couple at the main table.
On the other hand, if the wedding is large, two main tables can be arranged to make it more grand. In this case, the two main tables will be arranged on both sides of the center of the wedding venue, making them parallel to each other, highlighting the dignity of the main tables in such a symmetrical way and giving people a sense of harmony.
2. Guest arrangement
As the host of the wedding banquet, it is necessary for the newlyweds to know every guest when setting the table. For example, their respective likes or dislikes.
For example, if you are an elderly person, try to arrange it in a quiet place, avoiding speakers or bands. If you are a quiet young person, you can arrange it next to a speaker or a band. On the contrary, if they are noisy friends, maybe their voices can be drowned out.
In short, we should arrange guests with the same interests or topics as much as possible, so that both parties can find the topic more easily and not be bored. One more thing, if there is a gap between the two sides, you must avoid it.
