Reception Style :: Making a Seating Chart

Creating a seating chart listing is a tough task that many couples dread.

Never fear, I’ll help you figure an easy way to create your seating chart. Start with a blank piece of paper for each table you have at your wedding. Then, put each guest’s name onto a sticky note. Start placing the sticky notes on each page, and move around as necessary (make sure you know if you need 8 or 10 seats at each table).

Once you have your seating figured out, add the table numbers to a Word or Excel spreadsheet.

Tiffanie and Daniel’s seating chart from their May wedding was created using a DIY seating chart template from DIY Party Designs – the colors of their names and wedding date was altered to suit their color scheme. The chart was printed on poster paper and placed in a black IKEA frame.

 

The guest names and table number were simply copied and pasted onto the already existing columns. Make a couple of amendments (add photos, change font choice, change font colors) and you are ready to send it to print. If you don’t know a poster printer, then simply send your finished seating chart to Staples online for printing.
