So I’m getting married at a lovely 50 acre location we are renting out for a weekend. Our reception will be on the deck overlooking the “lake” (really a large and pretty pond). The venue has these tables on the deck that I was planning to move and use others because they I ly seat 4 people, 5 if they’really really friendly.
Well it iurns out I’m not allowed to move the tables because they have glass tops. So now I have to figure out how to make 4 person tables not weird. Any advise?
Additionally we still need more tables than what is on the deck would it be weird to have two 8 person tables for our party/ grandparents and parents? I just don’t really know what to do with these little tables.

Are you allowed to push the tables together to make a rectangular table?

thepersephone: unfortunately the tables are round so that is not really an option.

julies1949: I don’t have any pictures of the tables because I wasn’t planning on using them but the deck in this picture is where the reception will be.
The tables were basically round glass yard furniture type tables around 41″ across.
It’s a really laid back wedding but these tables just seem really weird in general for a wedding.

shelbydinosaurgirl: I think some people might love a 4 person table. It will make conversation much easier.
On their website they also show picnic tables. Will you also be using those or are they on a different deck?

julies1949: they’re on a different deck, my aunt rents wedding furniture so we can get other tables from her if we want or rent additional tables from the venue.

How many four person table are there? Could you use any of them for decor? Beverage stations? etc?
We had some high tops put out for people who wanted to move down to the dance floor during cocktail hour or after dinner. We put some decor items on those, along with votives and apotecary jars with treats in them.
Otherwise, I don’t think it is problematic to have two different sized tables.

shelbydinosaurgirl: So you’re not stuck with ONLY those tables. I am sure you can come up with a seating plan that uses the 4 person tables mixed with other larger tables. Remember you can also use one for the cake table, guestbook etc.
