Best way to display seating chart

Alphabetical order! SOOOO much easier for people to read.

I made 2 signs one for downstairs near bar 1 and upstairs where the seating is

I don't remember how many people the room was set up for but when I visited my venue there was a wedding that night. They had an easel with a sign with all the names and table number listed but it was so small and hard to read. I want to do cards on a table in alphabetical order for people to pick up rather than crowding around a sign. The room had to be set up for at least over 100 people though.

Yes, alphabetical is much easier for guests.

We're having a seating mirror displayed right when guests get off the elevator outside of the reception space. It will be in alphabetical order. The calligrapher doing our mirror said it's typically easier than listing by table.

From a person who places the seating cards out......make sure they are in alphabetical order. First name and last. I have seen them on a mirror, old window frame......

By tables is easiest for you, by last name is easiest for your guests. Ours will be on a mirror

Alphabetical order- otherwise guests take a long time as they search for their name. The guests at the last table have to read the whole chart, blocking others.

Or, you could do escort cards instead.

Those look nice I think that's what I will do. Now another question, maybe I should add this to my original post... What is a good website to use to custom design one? I used shutterfly for my invites and honestly hated it. I was thinking I could get a design all put together and then print it on a canvas?

Etsy has some really pretty ones that are well priced.

The only place I've seen them so far is Etsy. I wish some of the invitation companies would make them, so I could carry the look into the day itself.

Get a template on Etsy, they're cheap. Alphabetical is easier for people to find their names and will reduce a line forming around it. We used the template, printed it huge and put it in a spray painted frame.

I just saw that Zazzle has them too.

Hello,

I have 120 people coming to the wedding. Some of my guest have groups of 4 how would i write that out in the Alphabetical order without confusing my guest with the numbers of people & table numbers?
