Don’t divide your guests with the word VIP.
For me, for you, and for everyone
every guest who comes to the wedding is a VIP.
When designing a wedding, we often need to set up a head table for elders and important or well-known people, giving them special attention — usually by labeling them as VIP, which is common practice. But it’s often a serious mistake. Why?
In reality, these tools — these guest labels —
are not meant to define a guest’s status the way we usually assume,
nor are they meant to reserve tables for guests.
But at heart, they exist so we can organize guests into zones, especially in relation to the order of the ceremony, making the proceedings run smoothly. Knowing each guest’s seating position makes it much easier for the team to find them. Designing seating positions, labels, and zones is therefore important, and should be thought through carefully in line with the schedule of events that are about to happen.
It’s not meant to divide guests the way it’s commonly done. There are many cases where this tool has been used the wrong way — once the intention is set wrong from the start, the whole management process follows suit.
Labels confuse us into thinking we need to attend to this guest more than that one,
or in some cases labels are placed everywhere without the other tools that should go along with them,
leading to mistakes in how the event is run.
Because at its core, in a wedding, we must always take care of every guest equally and thoroughly. There must be enough food and seating no matter whether that person has a label or not.
Don’t let labels fool you.
The genuine warmth shared between people
between the couple and their guests,
was never found in those labels to begin with.
