Seating Charts, Seating Boards, Seating PostersThroughout the year, I did tons of seating charts. This year was no exception. Instead of posting each seating board individually, I thought I would do one post showing a sampling of some that I have done for various clients. Michelle's chart was modern and had the same mirrored monogram as her chart.Most seating posters are elegant and formal with a monogram.And other seating arrangement posters are lush in deep colors with a monogram.Some of my favorite placecard alternative are the white printing on a black seating chart.This chart came from a client that wanted something to coordinate w...

On Assigning SeatsAt most wedding dinners, tables - but not seats - are assigned; escort cards will guide you to your table and you will grab any empty seat And, if you are like 98% of wedding guests, your significant other will flank you. (note: escort cards, of which you will need one for each couple, will tell you your table number, place cards will guide you to your specific seat.) I am often asked if seats should also be assigned. In many cases, and especially with smaller weddings, my answer is an enthusiastic yes. Presuming that you will not seat guests next to their significant others, here is wh...

Assigned Seats
I thought this was an interesting take on guest seating. It's geared more towards dinner parties, but a few tips could be used for seating guest's at your wedding. However, I'm not so sure I agree with everything they say here - especially the tip about splitting up couples. In fact, the whole assigned seats concept shouldn't even exist after your...say...12 years old. But that's just my opinion.What do you think?...

Seating ChartsAlthough I can't typically do extras for brides that I did not make their invitations, seating charts are usually the exception. I can *almost* always squeeze in a seating chart.

Seating simplyThe mysterious Srah of srah blah blah sent me a link some time ago to SimpleSeating. If you’re like me and the notion of writing out a seating chart makes you break out in hives, you may like it. The site lets users create seating charts online using a drag and drop application. There is no software to install and the seating chart SimpleSeating provides includes RSVP and dietary restriction info for each guest. It looks like this…except bigger: The app walkthrough on the site is not yet functional, unfortunately. So I signed up to see what it was all about. Making a seating chart for...

Seating ChartsSo I do want to have assigned seats at my wedding and I love how place card tables look before anyone takes their card. But by the end of it I think they look bare and not very pretty. So I saw this and thought about going this direction. My only concern is that if I order this to have enough time to be made and something last minute happens and I have to add or take off someones name I might be in trouble. Is anyone using this type of seating chart? I also wanted to name the tables after like bowl games and things that pertain to my FI’s football career but thought that might not look very...

Seating ConsiderationsThings to consider when making a seating chart:•Consider the type of food you are serving. For a dessert or hors d'oeuvre reception, you do not need formal seating. For buffets or plated meals, formal seating is a must. •Don't seat relatives that clash together. •Try to seat people together by age or their relationship to you. Friends together, cousins together, aunt and uncles together. This way they all have a wonderful time.•For a head table, there are so many options and often there is not a head table. You can have the traditional head table, a sweetheart table (just the two ...
