What's the difference between an escort card, place card and seating chart?

An escort card is an object , meant to be taken by wedding guests, displaying attendee names and table assignments. A seating chart similarly disseminates table assignments, but via a stationary display for guests to look at, but not interact with. If used, place cards tell wedding guests which specific seat at their table belongs to them.

"A seating chart is a (much more beautiful) version of a mall directory that guests can reference to find out where they're sitting during the reception. They're often displayed in a central location that all guests will pass by at some point, and often categorized by table number or by guests' last names," says Ashley Lachney of Alston Mayger Events . Along the same line, Dena Cohen of The Planning Society explains that, "both seating charts and escort cards direct guests to a specific table. A seating chart lists your guests' names in alphabetical order with the table number next to the name or grouped together according to table number, for all guests to see. It can create an unexpected and fun entrance into the event space. Seating charts can be personalized , monogrammed and calligraphed on a variety of formats—acrylic boards, mirrors, wood, fabric, glass, chalkboards, specialty paper, etc. Escort cards are typically the more formal of the two seating methods at a wedding or event and can be customized to the couple's special story, theme, colors or season. Creativity and unique ideas are endless. Escort cards can be organized alphabetically on a table, arranged against a backdrop or hung from greenery, florals, twine or even a chandelier. Each escort card will have the guest's name or couple's name and table number included and will allow for guests to take the card with them and can also serve as a favor. Some escort cards can also include the guests' meal option." She goes on to note that if you want to go a step further in formality, "you can place a personalized table card (or place card) at each place setting, so your guests know exactly where they are sitting at the table."

When should you make a wedding seating chart?

While a seating chart can't be finalized until all your RSVPs are in , you should certainly begin the preliminary planning process early. Brooke Avishay of Orange Blossom Special Events advises couples to start early. "Generally, you should be able to create a rough plan for seating while you're waiting for your RSVPs to come in. Getting a head start on this will save a lot of grief as you approach the big day. If you do about 80 percent of the work while you're waiting for responses, all you'll need to do is make some small adjustments once you've received all RSVP cards ."

How do you make a seating chart for a wedding?

Thankfully, there are plenty of online wedding planning tools out there (and wedding seating chart templates) to help with the actual task of assigning seats. From AllSeated.com to WeddingWire's seating chart tool , these online resources give you the ability to look at a diagram of your reception and drag and drop to assign tables. Before even getting to that stage, it's a great idea to add notations to your RSVP spreadsheet to help categorize attendees. Whether you add a column to signal how you know a given person or color code based on whether they're family, a college friend or a work colleague, starting to group guests early on will make it easier to assign seats. Of course, if you're more of a tactile person, the paper plate method is a trusted option. Lay out a collection of paper plates on your table and use flag sticky notes to decide who sits where. To save space, you could even get your reception floor plan enlarged and printed on a poster board before using sticky notes to play around with potential table assignments.

Should a seating chart be organized alphabetically or by table?

This is a hotly debated question and even industry professionals are split as to which style of seating plan is best. Generally speaking, arranging your guest list alphabetically is the more efficient method, but for a very small guest list, couples can consider making an exception to organize by table number.

Janice Carnevale of Bellwether Events advises couples to "always always always organize a seating chart alphabetically by the last name. If it is organized by table, as I have seen in photos, it takes guests a longer time to find their name and table assignment, and staring at a poster is no way to spend a cocktail hour. Listing guests by table causes a bottleneck, and generally, it is not a pleasant guest experience." Shannon Ducker of Shannon Rose Events agrees that when it comes to large guest counts, alphabetical is the only logical organization method. "For guest counts of 100 guests or fewer, it's perfectly acceptable to organize a seating chart by table if the design lends itself better to that method. For any events larger than 100 guests, you should always organize alphabetically so that guests can find their seating assignment more easily." Ducker goes on to suggest that seating charts list parties and not individual guests as this "allows for couples and families to find their table faster since they are only having to look once for their table."

Wedding Reception Seating Chart For Country Wedding

blossombaydesign via Instagram

The first piece of advice is to create a wedding seating chart poster that’s front and center for all your guests to see. Make your table cards equally accessible. For a country-themed reception seating stick with the definitions. Rural, unfinished, and specific to the area are the calling cards of the country style.

• Burned text on raw local wood. Find a large plank of gorgeously textured wood and write out the names and assignments using a wood-burning kit.
• Stretched leather and black ink. You don’t have to skin a hide yourself, but a large unfinished pelt will seem as though it came from the farm next door. Creating a wooden frame and handwriting names and assignments are a perfect DIY wedding seating chart project.
• Even destination weddings can indulge in a country theme since it’s defined as drawing from the local heritage. A Hawaiian ceremony, for example, can feature a transparent plexiglass box (where the writing sits) filled with luminous volcanic rock. Accompany this by table charts made from stone statues of Laka – the Hawaiian goddess of love.

Next up in our series of wedding seating chart tips is to make a firm decision about the shape of your table and how many guests will be at each table.

Knowing how many people are sitting at each table really helps you plan where to seat your guests. If it’s a chic wedding theme you’re after, consider more tables and smaller groups so that conversations can be a bit more intimate.

Chic and stylish are a beautiful combination of trendy and trendsetting. Typically chic designs use time-tested elements with unique and creative spins, just like these table setting chart examples.

• Print your seating assignments on a sheet of metal like brushed aluminum or copper and set it on a delicate artist’s easel.
• Instead of one giant seating chart, choose an elegant frame for each table and hang them next to each other in an artistic arrangement.
• Many chic wedding themes feature generous use of lighting. Blend in your wedding seating chart decor by feature a plain, clean text backlight by LEDs.

Buy materials:

• Brushed Aluminum Sheet: China aluminum metal
• LED String Lights: Wish

Modern Wedding Seating Chart Ideas

The next step to creating successful wedding seating charts is to priorities your VIPs. You want your biggest fans as close as possible, which include both sets of parents, grandparents, and siblings. You also want your bridal party and their dates to sit nice and close too. Once you’ve coordinated their seats you can start to plan around them.

Modern wedding seating chart ideas take the ordinary and make it extraordinary. It can be something as simple as a wide board with your choice of fonts, or an everyday item artfully repurposed.

• Rent an oversized touchscreen or use a tablet that you already own. Simply have your guests type in their name which populates a screen showing an image of their table and highlights their seat. If you can spring for it, opt for facial recognition so that your guests can skip the name typing.
• For an outdoor wedding reception, set up a mock indoor space complete with an armchair, throw rug, and a bookshelf to house your seating plan.
• Use a printed map and name your tables as a state. For example, mom and dad will be assigned to the New York table while cousin Jesse and the party will be seated at the Chicago table.

Beach Wedding Seating Chart Examples

Once you have your VIPs seated, start filling the tables behind them. This is much easier if you break them into groups – distant relatives, work friends, etc.. – and ask your trusted advisors for some help. Making sure that everyone has a great seat and that each table has a good mix of old friends and new acquaintances is much easier as a group.

A beach wedding has the flexibility of being traditional, wild, and crazy, or anything in between. Whatever your choice of themes, it’s best to borrow from your surroundings.

• Stick a surfboard in the sand and write out your arrangements. It’ll be easy enough to find one that matches your color scheme.
• Adorn an arch with as many local plants and flowers as you can, and hang your table arrangements from a delicate string. This will look beautiful and natural as it flutters in the breeze.
• Write your wedding seating chart details in white on top of a slab of glass that sits on a thick wooden base. This looks natural by itself, but also allows it to blend in with natural surroundings.

Vintage Seating Chart Ideas

Once your guests have found their tables, make it easy for them to confirm their seats with easy-to-find, easy-to-read Table Cards. These can be mini versions of the larger seating charts that you have out front. Or, they can be their own design so that it fits the table better. If you’re going this route, make sure that they integrate with your overall theme.

Vintage seating charts only work if you’re planning a wedding that draws from a specific era or decade. If this is your wedding theme of choice, you can have a lot of fun with your seating chart.

• Use an old window frame
• Use an old vintage suitcase. Open it up, stand it on its side, and decorate the inside.
• Find an old piece of wood and mount vintage kitchen knobs or vintage keys to hand the seating arrangements from.

For authenticity and the best bargain, head to your local thrift or antique store.

Whimsical Wedding Seating Chart

pasion_eventos via Instagram

Now that everyone has their seat, it’s time to think about Name Tags. Some think name tags are lame – you’re excused if you fit into that group – but a lot of your guests won’t know each other, and this is a really non-abrasive way to break the ice.

If your theme and design allow for it, try to make your table cards double as name tags your guests can pin to their tops.

A whimsical wedding theme is exactly how it sounds – a plunge into the odd and unexpected. Match your wedding seating chart template to your wedding theme by creating something eccentrically amusing.

• Indoor wedding? Bring a live tree inside and dangle the seating arrangements from the branches. This will look fantastic and force your guests to interact with the decor by poking through it to find their names and places.
• Create a wall of wine by mounting wine glasses to a garden wall. The glasses can either be stuffed with paper that carries seating instructions, or the glasses can be full of your best chardonnay with a label hanging from it.
• Fill balloons with helium and let them dance in the air as seating assignments dangle from each string. Not only will this force your guests’ eyes upwards to take in the entire venue, but the splash of color also makes for excellent wedding photos.

Seating Chart For Rustic Wedding

jennyyoonyc via Instagram

When creating your wedding seating chart make sure it’s at the front end of your wedding reception timeline . The first thing your guests should be doing is finding their seats, getting settled, and then socializing. Otherwise, you’ll have friends and family wandering around for far too long which throws off your speech, dance, and other timing.

Rustic weddings are fun to plan for. Use the same aesthetics in your wedding seating chart etiquette as you do for the rest of your ceremony and reception. Favor simplicity over beauty, and be proud of nature and Southern values.

• Repurposed pallets can be stood on their end and decorated with plants. Wood and greenery go great with the rustic look.
• Hang Horseshoes with attached seating tags from some weathered nails. This can be hung from a wall, but it’s best if you erect something temporary so that you’re not damaging anything.
• Write names and seating arrangements on the Old Door that’s placed front and center of your reception area entrance. This should blend into the “old barn” feel that you’ve established.

Get materials here:

• Wood Pallet: Businesses are constantly paying to get rid of these. Make a few calls and you can get one for free.
• Vintage Horseshoes: Etsy
• Old Door: Wayfair

Art-Deco Seating Charts

If you’re not familiar with Art-Deco, think Great Gatsby. The style that swept Western design through the ’20s and ’30s is defined by strong geometric patterns and bold, contrasting colors. Use this style for your wedding theme for unmistakable decor.

• Create a simple board, but in the characteristic Gold and Black theme with art-deco fonts to match. Or, go with a classic Art-Deco print and write on top of that.
• Create a Geometric Archway where your guests will find their seating arrangements strung from.
• Collect 6-8 frames and paint them calling-card Gold to create one giant assemblage of frames.

Supplies for your theme:

• Art Deco Printed Board: Wayfair
• Art Deco Archway: Amazon
• Painted Frames: Indigo

Eco-Friendly Wedding Seating Chart

Eco-friendly is a way of life, not just a design theme. If this sounds like you, your decor of choice will have to have a 0-waste policy and should have some connection with nature.

• Burn your guests’ names and details into the ends of Wood Logs. This looks great, easy to find, easy to read, and when you’re done you can create a lovely bonfire to sit around.
• Etched Stones make a beautiful eco-friendly wedding seating chart. It’s best if you can find large stones that are naturally polished, they’re much easier to read than small rough stones.
• Reclaimed and Reused is just as good as zero-waste sometimes, which makes an Open Ladder a perfect seating chart option. Choose a few rungs at eye level to represent a table.

The great thing about eco-friendly designs, they’re mostly free! As long as you have a saw, wood logs are mother nature’s gift. The same goes with stones, and it’s very likely you already have access to an old ladder. Put a little time and effort into these little projects and they’ll look like a million bucks.

YOUR WEDDING SEATING CHART CHALLENGES RESOLVED

How to make a wedding seating chart? Based on your RSVP list and floor plan, assign guests to tables based on family, family, friends, or other groups of guests that you want to sit together. Once you have assigned guests to tables, you can start assigning seats. Personalize Minted's wedding seating chart template to reflect yours. For further guidance, you can read Minted’s helpful guide on creating a seating chart .

How should I organize the chart for an easy read? There are 2 ways to do this:

• By Table Number: List guest names alphabetically by last name under each table assignment.
• Alphabetical by Name: List every wedding guest in alphabetically by last name. Next to each guest’s name you can list their table assignment. This is recommended if you have guests more than 80 people.

What is the size of a wedding seating chart? Minted offers two sizes of weddings eating charts: 16” x 20” and 18” x 24”. Choose based on your space and the number of guests.

Where should I display the seating chart? Consider the entry area to the dining area or the welcome table where gifts and the guestbook are located. High visibility areas are your best bet. Using an easel is a classy and simple solution. You may also consider framing it or hanging it with ribbon.

For wedding planning veterans, it is a well-known fact that organizing a wedding seating chart can be a challenge. It is typically finalized weeks leading up to the wedding as the final RSVPs come in and table assignments are shuffled around to accommodate confirmed guests. There are countless ways to create your seating arrangements, such as grouping guests that have similar friends, live in similar areas, or maintain similar ages. There is also the added pressure of how you decide who sits at table 1 and how immediate family members should be grouped.

We understand that creating your wedding table seating can be overwhelming, no matter how you decide to organize the dining arrangements at your reception. Once your game plan is finalized, Minted is here to help ensure your layout is clearly communicated in a design-forward way so every guest can find their seat with ease. With over 40 original seating chart designs to choose from, you are sure to find one that speaks to the theme of your wedding, whether it’s modern, beachy , classic, vintage , rustic , bohemian, or otherwise.

YOU HAVE OPTIONS: TWO ORGANIZATIONAL FORMATS

There are two traditional ways to alert guests of their seating arrangements. Each of Minted’s wedding seating chart poster designs can feature either organizational option. If you’re looking for the pros and cons of both, review our helpful guide to creating a seating chart .

• By Table Number: Your seating board can opt to be organized by table numbers, listing guest names alphabetically by last name under each table assignment. This allows guests to quickly see all the people sitting at each table and who may be near them.
• Alphabetical by Name: This option simply lists every wedding guest in alphabetical order. Next to each guest’s name you can list their table assignment. It is recommended that you list alphabetically by the last name.

LET’S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT MINTED’S SEATING SIGNS

In addition to style, we allow you to order as many signs as you need to accommodate your guest list size.

Complete your personalization using our online tools, allowing you to save time and money in lieu of hiring a graphic designer or calligrapher.

30 Wedding Seating Chart Ideas That Will Impress Your Guests

Replace escort cards with a seating assignment display that shows off your personality.

Emily is a former editorial assistant for MarthaStewart.com.

While escort cards suit some wedding aesthetics, a single, seamless chart can often be a better fit for your vision (or venue). If you use a single diagram, map, or list to direct guests to their tables, then custom menus or personalized favors placed at each setting can indicate specific seats (you can also allow guests to choose their own spots as they get to know their seatmates).

A seating chart can also add a memorable statement detail to your wedding décor. Your shared hobbies and interests—sports, sailing, and favorite cities—can all provide inspiration, and so can a color palette, mixed materials, or unique textures. See how real couples incorporated glass, copper, wood, fabric, and a variety of other elements into creative wedding seating chart ideas.

A couple who were introduced by a mutual friend beside a school water fountain included a cheeky nod to the location with a seating chart made from copper piping (prettier than any piping we've ever seen inside a wall).

Textile-Inspired Wedding Seating Chart

Small blue leather triangles, each etched with a guests' name and table number, were arranged to mimic the layout of a classic Pendleton blanket at this Nebraska wedding .

Black Wedding Seating Chart

This couple used three different tents for their cocktail hour, reception, and after-party, purposefully incorporating every color of the rainbow into the layout. A sleek black seating chart let the florals and lighting shine.

Full-Length Mirror Wedding Seating Chart

Ornate full-length mirrors surrounded by lush florals—and calligraphed with the guests' table assignments—were an opulent accent to the rustic exposed brick and gravel pathways at this venue.

Potted Plant Wedding Seating Chart

A backyard wedding may not offer space for an expansive escort card display, but a shelf of potted plants—with each pot displaying the guests assigned to a different table—looks right at home.

Glass Jug Wedding Seating Chart

Rich wood tones, seaglass-inspired jugs, bright fruit, and casual handwriting lent a vacation vibe to this beachfront wedding.

Blue Floral Wedding Seating Chart

These brides kept their seating chart simple and chic with a bold blue shade, which they repeated throughout the decor, a line-drawn floral element, and contrasting white text.

Illustrated Wedding Seating Chart

Hand-watercolored artwork by Emily Baker Studio topped seating-assignment cards with illustrations related to the wedding's venue and the groom's heritage.

Record Wedding Seating Chart

LB Events owner Hallie Slate fulfilled a bride's request for a music-inspired seating chart by using spray-painted, vintage records. The bride's sister (Kenzie of Details, Darling ) then calligraphed each with the guests' names.

Transparent Wedding Seating Chart

Martha's niece used this floating display for her wedding. The chart itself was made from Plexiglas and was held from barn rafters using barely-there fishing wire.

What is a Wedding Seating Chart?

Creating a seating chart for any kind of event (especially a wedding) makes the whole process of visualizing where guests will be positioned within a space, so much more straightforward. It allows you to take a list of names and turn it into an accurate depiction of how the room will actually look. This graphical representation is almost a must for any large-scale event, especially when organizing a something as grand, and important as a wedding.

Wedding Seating Chart Etiquette

Diplomacy is key when arranging wedding guests for a reception, or ceremony. Not all guests will know, get on with, or even like each other! Which is why it’s critical to think clearly, and carefully, about where each guest will be seated. Otherwise, you may end up with little pockets of anarchy, rather than a room full of celebrations!

Beyond dealing with any tricky relationships, it’s wise to consider family first when seating guests. For instance, yourselves, your parents and your partner’s parents should share a table at the reception, unless you opt for a sweetheart table for just the two of you.

Grandparents, siblings not in the wedding party, and the officiant and their spouse should also join the head table. That is assuming your parents aren’t divorced, which may mean you need to create another ‘head table’, which’ll allow parents to sit apart.

How to Arrange Wedding Guests

If you’re unsure of the personalities, or interests of all your guests, gather your close family together when preparing ideas for your seating layout. As they’ll be able to enlighten you on just what everyone is like. Getting a clear picture of who knows each other, and who will get along, is key to creating a harmonious reception.

A lot of your guests will not know each other well before sitting down together at the reception. This can be discouraging for some, but it often can’t be helped when arranging such a large number of people.

To help guests quickly spark up conversation with one another, consider the work, interests, and ages of loved ones when pairing people together. By thoughtfully matching guests up, you’ll quickly find that on the night they have lots in common. And that’ll hopefully avoid any awkward silences.

If you’re struggling to remember which guest should, or could go with another type of guest, consider starting a color coded system on your invite list. By having a multicolored excel template and a wedding seating chart maker such as ours, that allows you to easily incorporate colors into the template, you’ll be able to quickly match up compatible guests.

How to Organize Wedding Reception Tables

A massive benefit of using a seating scheme, is that it allows you to clearly see which type of table arrangement will work best for your reception. Rectangular and circular are the two most popular table shapes. But there are many others, such as family style, which is great for informal weddings. Or there’s the U shape design, an arrangement that lends itself to intimate celebrations.

Consider thoroughly the type of table arrangement you choose, as it will greatly affect the interactions guests can have with each other.

For instance, round tables are much-loved as they, depending on their size, allow all guests to interact with each other. Whereas rectangular tables, due to their long shape, often create two or more groups of guests. But, this shape of table is perfect if you have a large guest list, as it’ll allow you to fit numerous guests on one table, and not take up too much space within the room.

How to Organize Wedding Ceremony Seating

There are many ways you can configure your wedding ceremony seating chart , but typically the style you select will depend on how formal you want the occasion to be. And importantly, where it’ll be taking place. As some wedding ceremony venues, such as churches, will have set, structured seating in place.

If this is the case, then all you need to worry about is seating guests appropriately within the space. With VIP’s such as parents, grandparents, close family and the wedding party all sitting in the first and second rows. Typically, each family sits on either the left or the right-hand side of the marrying couple.

In the rows after immediate family and the wedding party, sits the rest of the guests, in order of importance or closeness to the couple. With this in mind, it’s good to use a wedding seating chart when planning your ceremony, as it helps to alleviate any confusion your guests may feel when they arrive. Unsure of exactly where, and which side they should be sitting on.

By having a clearly laid out seat map, you’ll also be able to evenly distribute your loved ones. Something couples often regret not doing when they look back at their pictures, and see big gaps of guests, or uneven spaces.

Organize people ahead of time using a wedding seating chart app or tool, and you’ll find the whole ceremony experience is a lot smoother.

How to Use a Wedding Seating Chart for your Reception

Starting any kind of project with a blank page is typically pretty daunting. Which is why we created our wedding seating chart template. A useful starting off point that shows straight away the types of elements usually included in a wedding reception, and a suggestion as to where guests could be placed. From there you’re free to customize as you wish.

The best place to start when assembling your wedding reception seating chart , is with the layout of your tables and chairs. As the style you choose will determine what else can be placed within the space, while also dictating the guest experience.

When deciding between table shapes, it’s important to reach out to your wedding venue, and request the full layout specifications of the reception space. That way you’ll know how much room you have, not just for tables, but also the dance floor, stage, decor elements etc.

When you’re ready to place guests at their tables, you’ll quickly realize how powerful a wedding seating chart tool can be. A huge advantage of our seating chart maker, in particular, is that it allows you to simply import your guest list spreadsheet from Excel, and then instantly place invitees at their appropriate tables.

Before, or after guests are positioned on the floor plan, you can personalize their avatars to better represent each guests’ individuality. For example, you can highlight the age group each guest is in, such as adult, teen, or infant. Following that, you can signify skin color, gender, and which side of the couple invited them — this final selection automatically gives avatars a signifying color.

Once guests are seated around the tables, and you’re happy with the arrangement, it’s time to place the rest of your decor! With our online wedding seating chart tool, you can drop and drag all the major focal points and elements you’d expect to find at a wedding reception right onto your chart!

To get you started, our template features items most couples would consider standard, such as a dance floor, stage, and restrooms. So all you have to think about is adding the fun stuff! Like smoke machines, DJ booths and your cake table!

Why a Wedding Seating Chart is Such a Useful Tool

Every guest is different, and when planning a wedding with lots of loved ones, that can lead to confusion. Food choices and intolerances are the perfect example, as each of your guests will likely need to choose their main course and could potentially be allergic to something on the menu. This information is vital for those in your catering team, and should be presented in a style that can be understood quickly by them.

By having a clear seating scheme for your reception, with all the important information about each guest clearly visible, the organization of your wedding will run a lot smoother than without.

Moreover, by utilizing the seating chart, it becomes effortless to create table seating cards for each layout's table. Afterward, you can produce an attractive grid of cards and display them on the wall, aiding guests in finding their designated places with ease.

This is an example of how the final result will look.

Table numbers will be automatically generated based on the table layout, and of course you can customize design.

Name cards are also automatically generated based on the seating layout.

With our free wedding seating chart template, you can quickly and easily download your finished board using whichever details you need it to feature. Meaning, individual seating charts can be created for each of your respective vendors. Eliminating any confusion between them.

The Benefits of an Online Wedding Seating Chart Maker

When planning a wedding, at the very least, there will be two people organizing things (hopefully!). But typically, a wedding is not simply planned by the marrying couple. Mom, Dad, best friends, brothers, and sisters are all usually drafted onto the big day team to help in some way.

What’s great about using an online wedding seating chart, such as ours, is that everyone can share their input in real-time.

Wedding Planning Assistant is an online, cloud-based tool that helps couples plan every aspect of their celebration, not just their seating arrangement. From creating a free wedding website, to organizing a checklist and preparing place cards – you can do it all on our site, for free!

Each member of your wedding team, including planners and vendors, can be provided access to your online project. Anyone can get involved, whenever and wherever works best for them. Helping you to throw the best wedding ever!

When it comes to the seating chart for your wedding, being online, with all the information synchronized in real-time, is a game changer. For instance, whenever there’s an update to your guest list, anyone on your team will instantly be able to see it.

Maybe Mom has finally got an RSVP from your cousin in London, and has now found out she’s gone vegan. Mom can easily update that guests’ RSVP status, adding in her dietary requirements and potentially the meal choice too.

Having a wedding seating chart that’s online and instantly updatable by your whole team, stops anything being forgotten, and helps everyone stay on the same page, at all times. Key when trying to organize such a large group of people, each with needs and desires.

Ensure that Everything Fits in the Room Without Estimating

Experimenting with a seating chart, placing guests around tables and dropping elements of decor is fun. But without real-world measurements, there’s no way of knowing if your table design will actually fit within the space. Which would be a disaster!

Thankfully, our wedding seating chart tool allows you to easily, and accurately construct a scaled down version of your reception room. While also giving you the ability to precisely measure just how far each element (table, stage, large piece of decor) actually is from one another.

Then, once you’ve mapped out exactly where everything should be, there’s no need to worry about scaling your wedding table seating chart to fit on a poster board. Because our tool will automatically scale your plan to fit on either a portrait or landscape A1 page. The perfect size for your caterers, planners, venue or yourselves to print it out on .

All the key information will be visible, and you’ll get a clear feel for how the space will actually look.

Export Your Wedding Seating Chart Template to Excel

To serve your wedding guests successfully, your vendors will need as much information as possible, and have it displayed in a format that works for them. Usually, a wedding seating chart will work perfectly for them, as it’ll allow them to explore the room and get a fantastic overview of your guests.

But occasionally, it’s more useful for vendors to scan through a list of your guests, and filter out the information they require. And that’s precisely what our wedding seating chart template can do, with its export to Excel function via your guest list! This straightforward to use tool allows you to download your full list of guests, with all the information clearly laid out in pre-formatted columns.

Your caterer will love how easy it is to access the information they need about each of your guests, and it’ll (almost) eliminate any possibility of mistakes in service. But it’s not only your caterer who will benefit greatly from having your wedding seating chart template exported to Excel . Your planner, coordinator, and your wedding stationers will all do better at their jobs with this function.

Create Your Wedding Seating Chart Poster in No Time

Couples typically find piecing together their guest list and the seating assignment the most time-consuming, and arduous tasks during wedding planning. And we understand why! It’s hard to pick and choose who, and who not to invite to your wedding. But this painful task has to be done. And while we can’t make the job emotionally easier to deal with, we can make its operation, and subsequent application onto the seating chart, seamless.

From the moment you receive your first RSVP, to exporting the finished floor plan, you’ll wonder how else you could’ve got the job done. Couples often start their reception, and potentially wedding ceremony seating chart roughly 3 weeks before the big day. Once all the RSVP’s have been received.

By hand, pen on paper, this task can take days. And involve countless do-overs, scribbling out and frustrated nights. But when putting together a wedding seating chart using an online tool, you remove all of that stress.

Suddenly, late RSVPs can be easily dropped and dragged into position. Table configurations can be altered at the click of a button, and you’ll instantly get a full picture of how your reception, or ceremony will look as soon as your guest list is uploaded.

Every guests’ icon can be quickly customized to represent their gender, race, or age bracket. While color coding is also available, allowing you to easily mark people according to their jobs, interests, or personality type. A huge advantage when attempting to pair up single guests, or create a harmonious table.

The entire process of using our wedding seating chart maker has been designed to be accessible. Easy for all to use. Meaning, no matter your experience level with online tools, you’ll be able to create a professional wedding seating chart board in much less time than it would to piece it together on paper, DIY style. And when planning a wedding, if any task can be made easier or quicker, that’s a massive plus!

Professional Seating Chart App Designed for Couples & Vendors

All the tools available on Wedding Planning Assistant have been designed thoughtfully, with both engaged couples, and professional vendors in mind.

Created to be useful to those busy planning their big day, in need of templates to help them work out their budget, or somewhere simple to build a wedding website.

While also being invaluable to wedding professionals who require a space to create a seat map, find other vendors and share their work with clients.

Sharing is a key part of why couples love creating not just their wedding seating chart with us, but many of the other vital parts involved in planning a big day. Because our platform has been designed to be collaborative. A place to build something together, with family, friends, but also wedding professionals.

If you’re at the very beginning stages of wedding planning, and you’ve recently hired a planner, or coordinator to help you put things together. You’ll understand how vital communication is when trying to keep things on schedule. Without regular check-in’s and confirmations, things can get forgotten, and a once well-planned timeline can begin to slide.

Avoid over-running your schedule, and always be up-to-date with what your planner is doing, by creating a project together on Wedding Planning Assistant. And our wedding seating chart app offers the perfect example for why you should.

This task in particular is typically completed within the final stages of wedding planning, and the process usually goes through many iterations before it’s ready. These last couple of weeks are frequently a stressful time for couples, with guests often sending RSVPs back at different times, dropping out last minute, or suddenly requesting special requirements. It’s a lot to deal with and can be hard to keep track, especially when you have a planner or coordinator who also needs updating.

Our advice is to start, and concentrate on functionality. First and foremost, your wedding seating chart is there to direct guests to their place. It needs to be clear, obvious and enable loved ones to find their name and corresponding table in seconds. If not, you may end up with a lot of confused guests and a bit of a bottleneck, as people desperately try to find their name on the board .

Typically, the best way to avoid having lost guests is to simply list out your tables in numerical order, with the names of each guest under their corresponding table number. Whether you’ve got three tables or twenty tables, this system works. As does listing guests alphabetically, alongside their table number.

As long as the sign is big enough, and the font is clear. An A1 size board is typically a good size, but it will depend on your space and the number of tables/guests.

Once you’ve formatted the reception plan, found a font that works and maybe added a background or floral element. It’s time to find a pretty frame, an easel, and set it up somewhere guests will spot it easily.

Recent post, jeff kear · owner, planning pod, how to select the best event seating chart software for you.

A critical and often underrated component of event planning and management that can have a huge effect on audience engagement is event design and, if you have an event that involves reserved seating, event table layouts and/or seating charts. And although you can sketch out your design ideas on a sheet of paper, to have a truly representational, to-scale rendering of your event layout and seating capacity for distributing to clients, staff, participants, volunteers and vendors, a digital seating chart planner gives you the tools you need to build professional designs that impress and leave no room for error.

With that said, when you are creating event table layouts and seating charts, there are four primary criteria that you should look for when starting to evaluate online seating chart generators.

• Accuracy - You want your seating charts and floor plans to represent what you will get in real-life so that you aren’t cramming too much equipment, tables or chairs into the allotted space. In addition, you want a tool that lets you include as many event details as possible regarding layout elements like different table shapes or architectural characteristics of your room or space, whether you are hosting your event in a banquet hall or concert hall.
• Aesthetics - Because we are usually showing seating chart arrangements and event designs to our team, peers and clients, we want to make a big impression and don’t want them to look slapdash. A full-featured event seating plan software platform lets you precisely and colorfully render everything from detailed wedding seating charts with guest table assignments to galas or corporate events that have designated seating for general admission and VIP audience members.
• Time - We are all pressed for time, and although we want our event seating charts to look professionally designed and be accurate, they shouldn’t take hours to build. The best seating chart makers give you the tools to create highly accurate and aesthetically pleasing designs in a short span of time (usually less than an hour).
• Ease-of-Use - Most popular event floor plan tools offer drag-and-drop functionality so you can simply place elements on the layout or drop attendees onto selected seats (or drag them off seats to remove them). But the best event seating chart software platforms contain features like auto-format for building table layout grids instantly, reusable seating plan templates, libraries of favorite elements and other features that simplify building seating charts. In addition, some table plan software apps are also mobile-friendly and can be used on both computers and mobile devices.

So what should you look for when evaluating such a tool for building the perfect seating plan? Consider these seven attributes.

1. Guest List Management

What comes before adding guests to seats in a layout? Managing contact information for those guests in an organized fashion so your seating plans are detail-rich with items like names, RSVP status and meal choices. Guest list managers can also come with features like at-the-door check-in apps and Excel file downloads. And for wedding planners, there are also handy features like table number labeling for easily identifying at what table each guest is seated; downloadable place cards and escort cards; and separate lists for rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and wedding reception.

2. Registrations and RSVPs

And what comes before a guest list full of rich information? Collecting that information via customizable event websites equipped with event registration / ticketing and RSVP forms that electronically feed that data into your guest list. An added bonus is the ability to collect registration payments and detailed responses to custom questions; the ability to set up multiple ticket types; and even allowing registrants to select their preferred seat.

3. Flexibility of Event Type

Top event seating planner tools allow you to build layouts for any type of event, including wedding seating charts, banquet table setups and seating plans for dinners, banquet style galas, parties, conferences, concerts, classrooms and corporate meetings and events.

4. Adaptable to Any Venue and Space

Do your event spaces typically have unique contours and dimensions? Solid event seating plan software will allow you to easily replicate those dimensions so you can build restaurant seating charts for patrons as well as seating plans for hotel meeting rooms and ballrooms, reception halls, conference centers, wineries and even arena-like layouts for concert halls and theaters.

5. Large Library of Elements

Any seating chart maker worth its weight should offer a variety of table and chair element options (including options for round tables, half-tables and head tables), but the more advanced ones will also offer architectural elements like walls, floors and doors; staging elements like podiums and lighting; A/V elements like amplification systems; and exposition elements like trade show booths and aisles.

6. Virtual Collaboration

This is where Web-based event seating planner apps excel because they have the flexibility to allow others to access to seating charts via the Internet to provide feedback and even create and edit shared designs. This allows an entire team of planners and vendors (like caterers and rental crews) to see designs ahead of time. An added bonus are features that offer 3D walkthroughs to enable users to fully visualize the setup from one or more focal points as well as other integrated event software tools for collaboratively managing budgets, timelines, etc.

7. Customization

If you are seeking to make an impression on vendors or internal / external clients, customizations will help you sell through your ideas. Such features can include customizable colors and fonts as well as background uploads. A timesaving feature to look out for is the ability to create seating chart templates for designs or setups you use repeatedly.

As you can see, the best event seating chart software programs offer a wide variety of features to simplify the process of building seating plans while providing maximum flexibility so you can add many details and integrate with other event management tools that you may need.

Pros and Cons of Assigned Seating at Your Wedding Reception

Are you considering assigned seating at your wedding reception—not just assigning guests a table, but also an exact seat? Here are the pros and cons of this strategy.

Willow Jaymes Events

Curating the perfect guest experience is a top priority for many modern couples, and that includes deciding whether or not to include assigned seating at your wedding reception. As the name suggests, assigned seating involves selecting where each of your guests will sit at a particular table, and there can be many benefits to this approach. For starters, couples can ensure their guests are sat next to people they’ll really enjoy, but this seating arrangement doesn’t come without its own set of challenges.

Think assigned seating at the wedding reception might be a good fit for your event? Read on for our pros and cons to help weigh the options and make the smartest choice for you.

Pro: streamlined organization of wedding day.

Unless you have a very easygoing set of guests, open seating plans have the potential to be a tad bit chaotic. This can be true even when guests are assigned to a particular table.

As guests make their way to the respective tables, it can be awkward to juggle exactly who is sitting where especially if not everyone at the table knows each other.  Assigned seating takes out all of the guesswork for your loved ones and adds a much-needed layer of organization to a large-scale event.

Con: Increased seating chart stress

While assigned seating may make things easier on your guests, it can certainly make things much harder on you. Not only will you need to assign guests to a particular table, but you’ll need to carefully think through each and every spot on the seating chart . If you’re hosting a large wedding, you may find yourself ready to pull your hair out as those last-minute RSVPs come in, forcing you to re-organize all over again. Skipping the seat assignments might completely save your sanity , especially as it gets closer to crunch time.

Pro: Heightened formality and smoother logistics

Assigned seating at the reception is traditionally used for more formal events and can add a layer of elegance to any wedding. Place cards give you a chance to personalize each place setting and results in a really polished look to your table design.

It can also be helpful logistically if you’re planning a plated dinner where your guests’ entree selections need to be noted for the servers . Be sure to discuss the best options with your venue and catering team for smooth sailing on the day-of.

Con: No arrangements for unannounced guests

Whether it’s someone who’s neglected to RSVP or an uninvited plus one, nearly every wedding will have at least one unexpected guest crash their festivities .  Unless you’ve hired a rockstar wedding planner who’s prepared for any situation, it can be challenging to navigate this situation with assigned seating arrangements. Make sure to expect the unexpected and be prepared to discreetly sneak in extra place settings if need be.

Pro: Manage your guests' experience

Perhaps the most significant benefit of assigned seating comes down to complete control of deciding who will sit where. Most families have at least one set of “those relatives” who can’t stand each other , and assigned seating eliminates potential snafus altogether. Even if unfriendly relatives need to be sat at the same table you can carefully ensure their seats don’t end up side-by-side.

On the flipside, assigned seating also allows you to introduce guests who you think might really hit it off. Maybe it’s a coworker without a plus one, or a childhood friend who you’ve always thought would get along with your cousin. You’ll have the ability to play matchmaker and who knows… maybe your wedding will be the spark for a new love all its own .

How to Create a Rehearsal Dinner Seating Chart

See if a seating chart is right for your event.

Are you planning your wedding rehearsal dinner and wondering if you need to prepare a traditional guest seating chart? The short answer is: It's entirely up to you! For both rehearsal dinners and wedding receptions, having an official seating chart or personalized table settings is completely optional, although both certainly have benefits.

Read on to determine if a seating chart is right for your rehearsal dinner, and get tips on where to seat your guests if you assign seats.

Should I Assign Seats at My Rehearsal Dinner?

For a dinner with a larger group in a more formal setting—say, a restaurant's private dining room or a space you've bought out completely— table assignments , if not seating assignments, will ensure every guest has a place to sit. Plus, it will make it easier to share meal selections with your venue if you requested those from guests in advance.

If you're tight on space, you'll also want table assignments. Without them, guests will spread out on their own, and typically, they won't fill up every table to capacity, meaning you'll need to provide more tables. If you're tight on space, assign tables.

If you're having a smaller group that's all seated at one large table, place cards can be a really nice touch—it shows you put in the thought of giving each guest a designated seat.

If you're having a more casual rehearsal dinner (think a backyard picnic or self-serve buffet), seating assignments don't really make sense. It will be impossible to assign people to a table, especially if there are more guests than seats. In this case, you may want to reserve a table for older guests or those who won't be comfortable on their feet for the entire evening. Beyond that, your guests can grab a seat when and where they see fit.

Who Should Sit Where?

You'll definitely want to pick the two best seats in the house for the couple getting married. Your rehearsal dinner seating plan should place their parents near them (unless there are complicated family dynamics) as well as the host of the rehearsal dinner, if that is someone other than a parent. Group bridesmaids and their dates together as well as the groomsmen and their dates together. The ring bearer and flower girl should be seated with their parents.

Typically, rehearsal dinners are far more intimate than a wedding reception, so there's a good chance the guests already know each other. If you have a large number of guests, however, who aren't acquainted, consider who has common interests and is likely to get along well together. You also might try to have one lively conversationalist at every table so there's never a dull moment.

Rehearsal Dinner Seating Chart Ideas

As far as how to actually present your seating chart, if you choose to have one, there are so many great options. You can craft one by hand, order a custom seating chart on Etsy , print one at your local print shop, or get really creative and even draw out the seating chart with chalk paint on a mirror or pane of window glass. The sky's the limit.

Table Settings for Rehearsal Dinner

Regardless of whether you choose to use a seating chart for your rehearsal dinner, you can definitely get creative with the table settings , which are also a good way to indicate who is sitting where. Feel free to keep things simple with floral centerpieces or taper candles , or you could even leave small favors as place settings for your dinner guests. If you want to ensure everyone has an assigned place to sit, consider leaving name cards at each place setting.
