Seating Chart- Where to Get?

Andrea, on July 29, 2019 at 2:10 PM Posted in Planning 1 24

Hi everyone!

Where did you all get your seating charts from? Did they come with frames or did you have to purchase those separately, or did you do the mirror or blackboard variations? How far in advance did you get them, especially considering if you're waiting for final numbers and headcounts of guests? Would love to know for when it's my turn. Thanks everyoneSmiley heart

    Many people buy from Etsy. We'll be DIYing ours. We'll probably work on the seating arrangements as RSVPs come in, but won't do the actual seating chart until 1-2 weeks before the wedding.

    Thank you Caytlyn! Yeah 1-2 weeks before the wedding sounds like a good idea. How are you DIYing yours? What sort of materials, if you don't mind me asking?

    I’m ordering ours from Etsy, our wedding is August 17, and I’m finalizing the chart by tomorrow.
    We are using a mirror, so we just need one large vinyl piece.

    I'll cut vinyl with my Cricut and put it all on large pieces of acrylic. All of our signage will be acrylic.

    My friend just bought a mirror and taped printed pages on it. I printed mine out a few days before

    Can people please send pictures of their finished seating charts? I didn’t know this was so involved! I was just going to draw the tables on paper and stickers but this sounds more official. And I’m down for that!

    I bought someone else's board on FB market place then printed my own pages for the chart. Saved a bundle and it was practically done bedore I started. Lettering and all paiting was already done thanks to the former owner.

    We are using antique windows for ours and having our guests names written in script on the glass. Similar to this photo. We will have the guests names written on the window about 1 week before the wedding.

    Hey Meghan, aww wow, I love that idea! SO rustic and pretty, yet simplistic. Are you have your guest names professionally written on it, or are you going to do it yourself?

    Yes, we are having a outdoor, rustic type wedding on a vineyard. So it fits well with our wedding style. My friend does calligraphy and script writing. So she will be doing it for us.

    I purchased a template from Etsy for the card. Our welcome sign is blank on the other side, so I'm going to double purpose that. All the venue staff has to do is turn it around.
