Wedding Escort Cards Sometimes in the midst of all the planning for their big day, couples may forget the very obvious simple task of planning exactly the logistics of how to actually seat all their guests in the reception area and they ask, can’t we just have an open seating plan? We always smile and remind them on average it takes about 15 minutes to seat 100 people if you have planned seating and since you don’t want to waste one minute of your fabulous party time with people milling around confused, let’s go ahead and have a good plan in place, this usually convinces them!
