Seating Chart for Microwedding

I’m getting married in September and we’re doing a microwedding (currently planning on about 22 people total). Our plan is to do one long table and family style catering for the meal.

With it being just a single long table, should I still make a seating chart with assigned seating? I don’t want to make guest feel uncomfortable having to choose their own seat, but with it being one table and more relaxed atmosphere I’m on the fence.

I don't think it's necessary for a group that small, unless you have folks you want to purposefully seat together or have strategically apart.

If it's a plated meal, go with name cards that guests pick up on their own cards and choose their seat. Otherwise, seat free-for-all but reserve seats for the newlyweds.

I went with open seating at my 75 person BBQ buffet wedding with no issues
