I am hosting my sister's wedding at my home and we have concerns about seating. Is it okay to have the tables set up already or should we have the chairs lined in rows and then changed out after the ceremony. I'm afraid that this will waste too much time for setup of the tables plus I've never seen this done before. Is this tacky? any suggestions ?
The tables already set up would be ok.. But if your sister is more traditional I'd say take the time setup the tables after the ceremony!
I love outdoor weddings and I've seen it done both ways. I've never felt out of place and i don't think there are any "Rules" stating one way or another! Good luck!
I agree with LT, we are having my goddaughters wedding next weekend in our back yard. I had some of your same questions to her, how she wanted to do it. we decided since we have a large yard and garden, that we will set up everything before, and have two groups of chairs. Good Luck
There really are no rules!
I would say it is fine to set up the tables and such, but if you have the room to have chairs set up in rows for a more traditional feel for her ceremony do that too.
You'll have enough help from people looking to kill time in between the ceremony and the food to help you and people won't mind. the love you or they wouldn't be coming!
I'd say as long as there is still a wedding isle for the bride to walk up then this seating should be fine, I know you are hosting it but maybe ask your sisters opinion too. I am sure she will be fine with it though. Good luck with the wedding.
I think it would look lovely to just have you tables set up so you dont have to worry about running to get them ready in a dress after the ceremony. You can do a cool layout with a runner down the middle. I would look lovely.
You could do a layout like this:
Assuming you have 10 tables and a runner down the middle which you may purchase one at oriental trading.com very cheap:

The lines are there LOL so it would space HEEHEE!!!
You can do both really. have all the tables set up already with no chairs under them. then when the ceremony is over just have some male family members put them all under the tables while you are taking pictures etc. it shouldnt take that long just to drag some chairs over if the tables are already all set up and decorated. if each person can grab 2 chairs a a time and you have about 5 helping that should only take like 10 mintues or less, depending on how large a group you have.
