Wedding Rehearsal Make Your Own

Question: What are the proper seating arrangements for a wedding rehearsal dinner?

I would like to maybe have pictures or a very descriptive wording of who should sit where. We are going to be having between 50 and 60 guests.

Well technically you don't have to have seating arrangements for a rehearsal dinner and in fact your guest may appreciate it more if they can sit with the people whom they are comfortable with. However if you are going to do seating arrangement then the wedding party should sit together at the head table, followed by the parents/ grandparents table and then everyone else can/ should sit according to family.

You do not have seating arrangements on a RD. RD are typically small (mine was 30 people), I know RD are typically smaller than that; in any case, you can accommodate a small group and be together with no problems. I've been to RD with seating arrangements. We seating with the groom, her brother and his wife and two college friends that know my husband and were also in the WP. Parents sat elsewhere with their family members. In my own RD, I sat with people that were not going to be seated at my table during the reception, but that I wanted to spend time with before the wedding. Good luck

You can get really creative depending on theme too.... My cousin had a hollywood wedding and each table was named after a movie. All the movies had something to do with wedding.... For example her parents sat at "father of the bride " table. The tables were marked with clap boards ( the boards they use to say cut and action) and she had little emmy awards with everyones names on it for the seats.
