As the Royal wedding is only a few days away, I am dedicating the blog this week to things to think about in the week and weeks running up to to your wedding day. I guess Kate and William have been super busy, but unlike the rest of us they will have had plenty of advice on hand from their royal team of event organisers. I don’t have those to offer you but I can give you my pearls of wisdom and those of my wedding planning colleagues. One thing that is always top of everyone’s list, Royal or not, is where shall we sit everyone? The dreaded table plan! This blog is all about how to do it and what to use. I also have some fabulous tips for you so read on.
My suggestion is to do this task together with your fiance, perhaps spend an evening sorting it out over a glass of wine. There are a couple of practical ways you can do the table plan. Instead of trying to write it all out and then rubbing out names everywhere you can use some fabulous software from The Top Table Planner.
Last year I blogged on table plans which gave my advice for seating your guests and top tips which I thought would be useful once again. Adam, from Top Table Planner writes a great blog and this week he wrote this blog all about the Royal wedding and their table plan. Now that table plan is mind blowing to put together. It is a great read and really interesting.
Alternatively if you don’t want to use software, take a large piece of paper, wallpaper is good and then draw the tables using a saucer for instance and write the numbers on the tables. Get a block of sticky notes and write everyones name on them. You can then stick them on the numbered tables and move them around as much as you like. It is easy to visualise and saves all the scrubbing out if you try with a pen and paper.
I thought it would be a great idea to share with you some of the top tips I found from the Top Table Planner website. After all they are experts so I bow to their expertise. Check out.

I hope you find this useful and good luck with your table plan. Over the next couple of days I will be running blogs on how to stay calm on the morning of your wedding.
Until next time, happy planning.
