Putting together a seating chart for your wedding day can be a little tricky. It feels a little like completing a complex puzzle. I have composed a few ideas over the years to make the process as easy as possible for you. There are two ways I recommend planning out your seating chart. 1.) Old school pencil and paper, which is actually, poster board and sticky notes 2.) Online digital I love modern technology, but this is an area where I prefer the old school method. We will discuss both though. For the old school method, I recommend grabbing a poster board and some sticky notes. Make the poster board reflect your floor plan with the exact number of tables and chairs. Make sure you know the max amount of people you can place at each table. Most Texas venues have 60" round tables. It's best to put 8 people at each table, but you could have as many as 10 (without chargers). Double check you know exactly how large the tables are though and how many people could fit. Then, write down the names of each guest. Double check this at least 2 times to ensure you haven't forgotten anyone. The reason I love using the sticky notes is because they are so easy to move around. This isn't a quick process, so it will take time shuffling people around until you get the perfect formula. Some people, like to even color coordinate them into groups, but I don't think it's necessary. For the digital versions, you should be able to find an online template for you to create the seating chart. You can type in the names at each table until you have a place for each guest. Here are a few of my favorite tips to remember when making your seating chart.
1.) Group your guests into categories to indicate their relationship to you so it's easier to lump them together.
3.) Keep both sets of your parents close to the sweetheart/head table or dance floor 4.) Mix up singles and married people at each table to keep things from getting awkward 5.) Consider the location of the band or DJ, so you can make sure whoever is closest won't be negatively effected by the noice levels. 6.) Think about if you want a kids table or to sit kids with their parents. I hope this helps you when organizing and preparing to create your seating chart. Please comment if you have any questions.
