If you work with Excel, it really gets easy. Ctrl-X (Cut) and Ctrl-V (Paste) make moving people around your chart particularly fast and painless. Plus, if you put all of the people on the Excel sheet when you invite them, you can easily hit Ctrl-B (Bold) or Ctrl-(One) to adjust the Font for "Strikethrough" to mark both "Yes" and "No". -

Cut out circles for tables and write out names of guests on Post-it strips (sold as 2" x 1/2" strips at places like Office Depot). Then you can play around with who sits where and arrange similar tables close to one another without pages and pages of scratch paper. You can even color code (groom's family, bride's family, parent guests, couples guests). A little OCD, but a lot of fun and a lot more helpful than my fianc and I ever expected!

It also works to seat single people with other single people. Keep in mind that weddings are one of the greatest opportunities for you to play matchmaker. Seating single groomsmen next to single bridesmaids is a great way to try to ignite a spark between two people you think would be compatible. At no other event are singles more aware of their being single and seating them at a table of eight, including two couples and a family of three, would likely make them uncomfortable.

Opt for names for your tables, rather than numbers. If you and your honey are Star Wars fans, for example, consider using ship names, and names of characters. I attended a wedding with this theme, and it's fun! An added benefit is that you have a built-in conversation starter, if you choose to seat people who may not know each other at the same table.

This is easier said than done, but remember it is your wedding. Not your mother's or your mother-in-law's. Seat people at tables where you think they will have the most fun. It is the one regret I have from my own wedding. We didn't mix tables
