Well in typical Dis fashion, I'm wondering if it is a regional thing? I have never been to a reception, buffet, family style or plated meal without enough seats for all the guests. Frankly, I would find it pretty rude to invite people to a meal & not have a place for them to sit.
I also haven't been to a reception in years without assigned seating. And I would rather know I have a designated place than wander around trying to find an open seat. There is always plenty of time to move around and socialize after the meal. The thought of trying to find seats for my husband & myself would be stressful to me.
I have helped plan weddings for my DD & DS. They both made sure the venue & guest list numbers matched up. I really just can't imagine expecting our guests to stand & eat while I sit.
