High Chairs at Weddings – Who Is Responsible?

I have been to a wedding before where a guest had a little temper tantrum because a high chair was not provided for her son. She was outraged by this and caused a bit of a scene. Fortunately, a quick thinking maid-of-honour spoke to the venue manager and they were able to source one from their adjoining restaurant.

The above scenario does make you think. Whose responsibility was it to source the high chairs that may be needed for the guest’s children? Generally speaking, the correct etiquette is for wedding guests to be held responsible or their own children’s needs themselves, as this does not fall into the responsibility of the bride or groom. However, as a courtesy you could offcourse ask the venue if they have any highchairs on offer and pass this information onto your guests.

Although not necessary, if there will be many children at your wedding, you could add something on your invitation along the lines of, “Unfortunately our reception venue does not supply high chair, however you are most welcome to bring your own high chair or pram”
