It sounds like that in your case, it would be best to not assign seating.
In mine, everyone expects it, and would actually be upset with me if I don't assign seating!
I would assign seating at least to the table. The last thing you (or the venue) wants is people wandering around looking for a place to sit, with people they know. Or you end up with 1 empty chair at a table but 2 people HAVE to sit together so they either keep walking around or they pull up another chair, ask for another place setting and throw everything off. It can be very confusing for guests NOT to have an assigned table and embarassing for people that dont want to walk up to a table full of people they dont know and ask if a seat is taken.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
So every wedding source tells us to assign seating, or at least assign the guests to tables to make everyone's life easy. I've never been to a wedding where the seats or tables were assigned; I've always seen the reserved tables for family, but a free for all for everyone else. My fiance doesnt think we should assign tables, and I don't think any of my guests expect it. I'm wondering if it's a regional thing, so have you or will any of you be assigning seats or tables. Will my guests be offended/thrown off if I do?
The reception isn't too formal, it's an outdoor buffet under a tent. But since the ceremony and reception are at the same place, everyone (106 people) will be entering the area at the same time. I feel like I'd be perceived as controlling if I assigned everyone to tables.The other problem is I can't get everyone to tell me whether or not they're coming, so maybe I'll just leave some empty seats in case people decide to show up.
Have you been to wedding where they assigned tables? What are other WV brides doing?
