Big Wedding Problem Solving


Planning a wedding with a huge guest list? There are special challenges to consider!

Potential problems:
  • Parking
  • Adequate number of helpers to set up/clean up/serve food
  • Receiving Line
  • Guests feeling lost in the crowd
  • Guests not being able to hear ceremony speaking
  • Amount of food at reception
  • Lots of gifts on gift tables, with the potential for theft

Possible solutions to solve these issues:

  • Carefully choose venue and take parking into consideration
  • Hire help, or have the venue staff clean up
  • Skip an official receiving line or have the receiving line pass by the 'head table'
  • Give each guest a special guest favor to show your appreciation
  • Make sure microphones & a sound system are used during the ceremony
  • Hire an experienced caterer who can accurately plan food amounts
  • Keep a trusted person stationed at the gift table at all times
