Using same chairs for ceremony/reception

Mary, on August 8, 2021 at 11:02 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 4
Hello all!

I'm having a backyard wedding (don't let anyone ever tell you they are cheaper than a venue btw 😂), and I'm using the same chairs for the reception that are being used during the ceremony. For those of you who have done this or will be doing it, who is moving the chairs for you? I've seen some people say their catering company did but my catering company isn't who I'm getting the chairs through. I will not have my guests do it. I was thinking of having the ushers but wanted to see what others did.

Thanks!!

    My guests will be doing, it saves some money. Since the ceremony will be side by side with the reception, why not, you know?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

    I am using the same chairs as well. I’m going to ask my groomsmen to help with a few close friends in the guest list who I can ask without feeling bad about it. There will be 100 chairs and I will have about 8-10 guys helping us out. We are doing first look with pictures of the bridal party before the ceremony so won’t be needing the groomsmen for pics after

    How many chairs do you have? I agree with not having your guests do it. They'll be dressed up and carrying things etc.

    I attended a wedding a few years ago where we each had to carry our chairs down a hill to the reception and it’s the primary thing that I remember from that wedding, so I agree with everyone saying not to ask guests to move them. The groomsmen seem like a good idea, but I’d be worried that they’d get all sweaty and uncomfortable. Personally, I would ask if we could hire staff of the venue to do it or just rent more chairs.
