The groom at the wedding banquet is on the left. The method of determining the seating position of the male and female parties at a wedding banquet should be based on their position facing the stage. According to the ancient Chinese custom of "male left, female right", when facing the stage, the male party's seat is on the left side and the female party's seat is on the right side.
How to arrange wedding banquet seats
1. Main table
Generally speaking, newlyweds, parents, and close relatives will sit at the main table near the center of the banquet hall, and then arrange for their relatives and friends to be seated according to the custom of "male left, female right". If both parties have a large number of family members, one table can be set up on each side of the main table, or they can be arranged in the first row near the main table.
(1) Traditional Wedding
① Nowadays, most weddings have T-shaped stages, and the main table should be placed close to both the stage and the aisle.
②
If there is no aisle on the stage, place the main table in the center.
(2) Western style wedding
Some Western style wedding banquet tables are long tables, which can be arranged according to the closeness of the relationship between the guests and the newlyweds.
2. Prioritize the arrangement of distinguished guests
When arranging seats, it is important to place distinguished guests such as elders, leaders, and guests in the front position. On the one hand, this is to show respect to them, and on the other hand, when toasting, priority can be given to completing their table toasting. This way, elders and leaders will not wait too long, and if they need to leave early, it is also more convenient.
3. Arrange other seats based on guest relationships
Arrangements can be made based on the intimacy between guests and the number of visitors. Concentrate relatives in one area, friends, colleagues, and classmates in one area, avoid arranging people with poor relationships at one table, and try to ensure that each table has 10 people and there are no empty seats.
4. Pre customized seating plan
After determining the number of guests, customize the seating plan in advance, which not only facilitates overall planning and arrangement, but also allows guests to find their seats as soon as possible on the wedding day.
