Seat the single guys at one table, or mix them up with couples?

Question

I'm working on assigned seating. We have about 6 or so guys attending alone ages late 30s to early 50s--either single or married but their wives couldn't come. There are a few women attending alone, but they're mostly older relatives sitting with their immediate families. Regarding these guys: is it best to put them at the same table, or scatter them among the couples?

Answer 1

so either way it sounds like they r gonna b with a bunch of ppl they don't know. i have never been to a wedding where there was a seating chart. sum ppl, like ur guys, may ignore that aspect. good luck and congrats!!

Answer 2

put them with people they might know, and if you think they don't know anyone, mix them around with the single gals, such as cousins or co-workers.  

Answer 3

I grouped people not by status but by who they knew. It sucks to share a table with strangers.  

Answer 4

I would say maybe put them with themselves OR put them with other people. Say you can seat 8 people at a table, well seat 7 people and then 1 of those guys. So on and so forth.

Or you could not do arranged seating at all.

Congrats and good luck!

Answer 5

Either let them seat themselves or mix it up. Don't "single them out" just because they're, well, single. It's not fair to put the evil spotlight on them because they don't have a significant other. Besides, it will be more comforting to sit with people they know rather than other guys who are in the same predicament.

Answer 6

Scatter them in with the couples according to interests (if you know them) It is always a blast to talk to new people at weddings.

have fun!

Answer 7

Yes, I would definitely put them on the same table. They may be uncomfortable sitting with couples when they don't have one of their own.  

Answer 8

Mix single male and female guests, if possible. If there are no single women then sure, seat the male singles with couples. But, I wouldn't seat all of the men at one table.

The ages and real marital status doesn't matter - you're not matchmaking. :)

Answer 9

put them with people they know - not a bunch of strangers just b/c they are single.  

Answer 10

Mix them in with everyone else.  You don't want a table of lonely single guys just sitting there. Mix 2 of them with each table of couples.
