I'm fast discovering that seating plans are hard. We decided to have allocated seats so people don't have that awkward oh god where do I sit canteen moment, and to try and encourage people who haven't met before to mix a bit more, but I'm finding it a bit of a struggle. I thought we had a pretty good first draft down, but suffice to say that it wasn't acceptable to all involved. Now I'm in the process of reshuffling everything and it all looks a mess again. Ho hum. Arthur and I are trying to do this together, and with help, but I guess you can't please everyone... On the one hand I don't want to micro-manage people, but on the other hand I want the plan to enhance people's fun not detract from it, which means thinking pretty hard about what will and wont work.
We're ten days away now, and my impatience is getting a bit out of hand I think. I've just had enough of planning, I really have. I'll be so glad not to have to look at another wedding related list or spreadsheet again. Am I being incredibly ungrateful? Probably, but I just want to be married now. I'm kind of over the wedding, hopefully my enthusiasm will be rekindled when I can put the lists down and start baking and whatnot. Maybe I should just get on with the lists so I can put them down earlier? I think I need to stop thinking everything wedding related is supposed to be fun, seating plans just aren't (hats off to you of you disagree!).
