Seating charts for my wedding will be easy! It's a small group, almost everyone knows each other, this will be a snap! (two hours later) Fuck me, this is so fucking hard?!
if having something fun relating to them helps: at my wedding, we asked friends to draw us fanart of our favorite fictional couples, and used framed prints of them as centerpieces for the tables instead of numbers. Then we also put smaller versions on all the place cards. (family and family friends got Normal ships, our friends got the Gay Shit)
