Ideas for Seating Chart, Assigned Seating

LaLa, on July 9, 2019 at 7:43 PM Posted in Planning 0 5

We decided to assign seating during the reception because we're doing plated dinners, we have multiple meal choices, so it will just be easier to do it that way.

I've recently ordered menu's to go at each place setting. I feel like I have spent a million dollars already on useless paper lol. Any idea of a creative affordable way to do a Seating Chart that has everyone's name & table they are at? Then on top of that I'll need place cards or something to indicate where each guest is sitting at the table. Then I also need to indicate which meal the guest chose. It needs to be somewhat simple and easy to understand for the lady to set up everything prior lol.

Can I put the meal choice sticker on each menu? Or does it need to be on the name card? I'm struggling with this one lol.

    We did escort cards that indicated their table number and had a sticker that corresponded to their meal choice.

    That's a good idea, I don't know why I didn't think about that lol. If I put the table # and meal choice on the escort stickers then I don't have to assign seating. Hmmmm

    Yep! That’s why we’re doing it that way. Assigning tables is bad enough. I can’t imagine doing seats. Escort cards with names, meal choice icon or sticker and table number. Done!

    Not sure what your caterer would think, but I went to a friend's wedding where the name cards were all wedding colors, but the color corresponded to the meal choice. It was more discrete than actually listing the meal, and as long as the servers can keep it straight, is probably also easier than trying to read the cards. Just an idea!

    That's a great idea! Then I won't have to spend extra $$ for the stickers.
