Easel seating chart help.....

We listed ours by table numbers.

We did our seating chart sort of like your first example. It was alphabetical by last name under each table. We had 84 names to assign to tables.

Table 1

Charming, Prince

DeVille, Cruella

Duck, Daffy

Mouse, Mickey

Mouse, Minnie

I personally think grouped as tables looks better, but from a logistic point of view, alphabetical works better if you have a larger wedding. I wouldn't mind grouped as tables if you didn't have a lot of tables.

I think it depends on the number of guests you have. I personally like listings by table, however if you have 150 plus guests, it might become cumbersome for everyone to look through the entire list to find their name/table

Grouping them with Table number is easier with a small group of tables. If you have a lot tables, it can be tricky.. I went to a wedding with 23 tables 10 people at each. I couldn't find my name forever. So alphabetical would be easier for a large group.

Great point Soon to be KP! We have a total of 165

We are doing table numbers since we will only have 6 table in addition to the head table.

For 165 guests, I'd list all the names alphabetically by last name and put the table number off to the right like your last example. If it was less than 100, it would probably be ok to do it by table number.

O&S - I remember you guys had like 5,368 guests right?? Lol

Alphabetical.

Side question - where did you get your easel? I need two!!

ETA - and what does it look like??

Raelyn - A friend owns a design company, he's doing it for us.

Something like this....but vertical instead

O&S - For the married couples how did you do it?? Smith Mr. & Mrs. John?

We have a few that FMIL invited but she just gave us Mr. & Mrs. John Smith - Idk the woman's first name so how would I write that on the easel?

@FMP - sorry, I meant the actual easel portion. I have been looking for two for a reasonable price that aren't ugly! haha I found one on overstock that I like and just haven't pulled the trigger since they are like $70 each.

ETA - that seating chart is super cute though!!

Raelyn - OH LOL DUH! - The actual easel was provided by our venue at no additional cost.

Try renting one....Is there any rental places in your area?? We have a few here....

I like the second option better.

Thank you ladies for your input!

I don't like it either but Its easier that way....
