One of the most stressful aspects of wedding planning (the dreaded wedding etiquette) is often one of the last things you do, assigning people to tables at the reception. If you’re a guy who knows his way around a spreadsheet, this task may fall to you. So, it’s a good idea to know what the stressors are.

The first thing that you’ll want to do is talk to your parents and your bride’s parents and find out if there are any sensitivities you should know about. For example, will Great Uncle Morton be offended if he isn’t seated with your parents? Will Aunt Gertrude and Aunt Rosie start throwing plates if they sit next to each other? Keep in mind your own friends’ dramas as well. While groups of friends do not necessarily have to sit together, you should avoid leaving one friend out in the cold while everyone else is together.

Hey, I didn’t say it was going to be easy, I just said you should be prepared!
