tell me what you think of this idea for a shower

Ok i am helping my mom plan my shower , my friend did my invitrations and she asked if i wanted place cards done too. Now i NEVER thought to have assigned seating at a shower BUT now that i think about it, especailly in my wacky family, this one doenst like this one and so on. So in reality having setaing charts would a great idea. i also have groups of friends that although they tolerate each other dont particularly care for one another. Do you think it comes across as controlling or is it a good idea? I am torn.

part of me thinks its a bit much but then part of me agrees with my friend who suggetsed it, you go to a showre and you end up sitting with god knows who and trying to save seats for someone is hard and looks tacky so this would avoid all that and people woudl still have teh option to move around its not like i am gluing them to teh seats LOL.

I would do it - especially after seeing what happened at my shower. Exactly what you said---people tried saving seats and others got annoyed at them. My best friend wound up at a table with not one person she knew. I say go for it - I wouldnt think of it as controlling if I were attending. good luck!

I just went to a shower yesterday and barely knew anyone there. I wish there had been assigned seating b/c then I wouldn't have had to walk around and be told that seats were taken.

i think it makes it a lot more comfortable for people who don't know anyone to have assigned seats.

Another vote for a great idea

Re: tell me what you think of this idea for a shower

I am ALL for assigned seating at these kinds of parties, otherwise I feel that it kind of makes the guests feel uncomfortable. JMO.

Re: tell me what you think of this idea for a shower

I think that's a great idea !!

Re: tell me what you think of this idea for a shower

Every shower I've been to had assigned seating. I don't think it's weird at all.

We always have seating arrangements for showers. We have a very large family, so there is always over 100 guests attending our showers and it makes it so much easier. No one has to worry about where they are sitting or not enough room for one person etc...

Re: tell me what you think of this idea for a shower

I like the idea of planned seating.. that way of you have a few people who are not familiar with everyone else you can put them with people you'd know they would be ok with..

My shower had assigned seats and it was just easier that way.
