Imagine being able to visualize with ease where all of your guests will be seated at your reception. Picture a celebration where your loved ones are having as much fun as you at a table where they feel connected and happy to be with the guests around them.

Many couples find organizing the seating plan to be one of the most difficult and frustrating items on their to do list. Plus, it often has to be done during the most stressful time, just weeks before the big day.

The Perfect Seating was designed with this in mind.

This beautiful and easy to use kit allows you to “map out” your wedding reception ! Your package includes everything that you need: round and rectangular tables; moveable chairs to represent each guest; a marker pen; complete instructions and tips for a successful reception.

This package is designed to make the planning process enjoyable and fun. You will have chairs to write each of your guest’s names and tables to re-create what your reception setting will look like. The chairs will adhere to the tables with Velcro material and will stay in place but can be moved as many times as you like. The chairs come in two colors so you may easily plan for both yours and your partner’s guests. Take your time arranging and re-arranging chairs and tables until you have created the perfect seating plan for the most important celebration of your life. When your plan is complete you can simply take it to your reception site to use as a set-up guide !

If you have a friend who is getting married The Perfect Seating is also a unique and much appreciated gift.

Your special someone will truly be grateful for the gift of less stress during one of their most important wedding planning tasks.
