Need ideas to reserve seats for ceremony

I think that should be just fine. U don't need to put a reserved sign on each chair. That's just silly. But make sure u put them on the back of the chair so your guests will be sure to see them. Good Luck and Congrats.

What about a ribbon going across the row to block it off? If your chairs don't have arms then just move the first chair on either side forward a few inches and tie the ribbon in between the chairs so it stands up, away from the rest of the row.

One wedding I went to they put a bow on the end of the rows reserved for family and nothing on the other rows. No one but family sat in that area so I think the bow looked nice and was enough to imply that it was family seating only.

Those are all good ideas ladies, thank you! I like the ribbon idea especially because I can block off the exact number of chairs I want without having to tie a bunch of individual things on each chair.

I don't think its silly. I have a very small family and each one with have their name on their chair I have never liked empty chairs at a wedding. People never sit next to each other and there are lots of gaps in the seating at a wedding. Vow renewal 40 years! We are redoing the wedding the same way. Even my original wedding dress!
