When you are preparing your wedding on your own; in this case DIY, no matter where your venue is - table arrangements always get to you. Admit it. Be it at home or a hall or even at a hotel, there will always be someone being a nuisance i.e. not wanting to sit too at the back, want to sit way WAYYYY in front, don't like this that person at the table and the list just goes on and on. Some even displayed their "affections" by not showing up and does not have the courtesy of saying,
"Oh hi! I have an emergency, my dog got hit by a lorry and died. I am mourning therefore I don't think I would be able to make to your wedding dinner party."
Is that so hard to ask?! Well past is past. We managed to arrange and our guests were SUPER nice. They re-seated themselves at any table that have lesser people. At least you don't have sore eyes looking at baldy spots in the middle of the hall.
I did my table arrangement a week before the wedding. Trust me it was a major headache. I had to compile several lists from mommy, daddy, granmamas and Mr.S. Try squeezing all these people (some I barely know) to your plan. Of course I did not expect perfect attendance but hey! at least make an effort to inform. Anyways, while I was trying SO HARD not to transform to a bridezilla I found a solution to my mess.
MARTHA STEWART.
From day one when I was doing all the preparations and lists for the wedding I have used Martha's planner but did not realise that she has this great apps that I believed would solve any bride's nightmares!

Tell me you are not going bananas right now?
What did I tell you? Everything is there. Feel free to explore. Don't be afraid if you make mistakes - you can always go back and edit it. Here is the result of my table arrangements for the night (after successfully obtained the layout for the night from the hotel management - Of course!)
Easy peasy! Cheerios darlings!
