Seating chart question

Everyone should be in alphabetical order. Married or not, same sex or not.

Like Caytlyn said, if you’re going alphabetically, do everyone alphabetically, regardless of relationship.

No one will be offended. You’re overthinking it

If they have a different last name from their date or SO, they will look first under their own name, alphabetically. So do a card for every person, not one card for a couple or group . This is also easier by far for last minute cancellations, to rearrange the seating chart by pulling cards of those not attending, and rearranging the cards left if you have enough to change some tables. Often 1 or 2 people in a party do not come, and 1 or 2 do come. Since you usually code your at-table placecards with the meal, or special diets, to assist the waitstaff in fast service, you will not want any " ghosts" of people not present, written on the same card as someone who is there. So since you are filling out a card per person, might as well be in their own name. I still have the name I was born with, as I never changed it. Personally, I like NOT being listed under my husband's name, which I have never used. We are not the B****** family. We are the B****** and N***** family. I don't like being filed under him, so to speak. His name does not represent US. So I would always look under my name.

I wondered the same thing. But I am placing everyone in alphabetical order wethere they gave the same past name or not.

I went to a wedding where the seating chart was alphabetical by last name and it worked really well! It’ll be much easier. We will likely do that too but by first name so everyone will be scrambled eggs lol!

Whats this alphabetical seating chart for?? Like how is it used during the wedding?

I've been to several alphabetical and they were awesome! As long as you seat them by their date/plus one! it was so easy to find our name and our seat!

Just their last name.
DJ Tanner should be under T
and Steve Hale should be under HIt doesn't matter that they are a couple, and we know DJ better. We invited them both and they should be listed individually.
