For food we are having a buffet table, so its not like the waiters need to know where people are sitting to bring them the food they ordered or anything...Are there any other purposes in having a seating chart?
There will be about 60-70 guests and I would prefer to just let them sit wherever they want.

NO - they can just sit wherever they want. You might want to reserve a table or two for the bridal party & parents though

To me, place cards and seating charts are a waste of time. . . and a little insulting, to be honest.
Grown-ups should be able to handle a situation where they decide for themselves where they should and should not sit.
Assigned seating (in my experience) has usually resulted in hurt feelings and strained dinner conversations.
Of all the weddings I've been to, the receptions without seating charts had the guests having the most fun and on their best behavior.
I'm not a third grader who needs to be assigned a seat, thank you.

i'm having a seating chart for mine that's in a million.5 weeks. i became against it in the commencing up. Now i think of its a brilliant theory. i understand no longer anybody will understand one yet another and understanding my kinfolk some would be previous due. So i'm seating my kinfolk at the same time, his at the same time and acquaintances with undemanding hobbies at the same time. i think of it works suitable this way. I went to a marriage each week in the past with unfastened seating. We in easy terms knew the grooms father. So we walked around a pair of circumstances in the previous looking a table with 2 seats open and finally sat down. We knew no person and it became somewhat uncomfortable. We ended up leaving approximately 2 hours into it. So i could desire to have assigned seating if I went to a marriage

It is your wedding do it your way. My suggestion would be to put "Reserved" signs on a few of the closest tables, those would be for your parents and other close family, and everyone else can sit whereever they choose to.

No. Open seating is MUCH better. You might want to reserve tables for family, though.

We are not having assigned seating at our reception for 150 guests. We're reserving two tables for ourselves and our close family members, and everyone else can choose their own seats.
Realistically, it's a lot of work to assign seats, make place cards, and then try to keep up with who is or isn't in the right seat. Reserve a couple of tables for the wedding party and family; let all the other guests pick their own places.

Do what makes you happy.
I've never been to a wedding with a seating chart. I like to be able to sit where I want. Let your guests get their food and sit with ppl they already know!

Just let everyone know ahead of time that they can sit where they please. It's not written in stone that you have to do anything for your wedding. Its yours!

No it is your day, but it might cut back on confusion and arguments amongst your guests. Everyone will want to be seated as close to you as possible and usually that is for immediate family friends towards the back. But like everyone says, it is your day so do it how you want to.
