Episode #54 – Tips on How to Plan Seating Charts

Seating charts are a pain unless you thrive on organizing. Most people have difficulty planning them out. Today we have some tips to help you get through this task with ease.

*Wedding Wire has a great seating chart software program and there are many others*

Three options

• Open Seating - Buffets
• Assigned tables place cards on tables – sit down dinner
• Assigned seats and tables – sit down dinner with all plates set beforehand and/or multi-course

How to plan:

• Group guests
• Family
• Friends
• Try to mix tables with people that know each other and people who don't
• Kid's table
• Try not to seat people with (bad) histories at the same table
• Don't over think it – it's really only for the dinner part and then your guest dance the night away
• 8 is the ideal number at each 60″ table no less than 6 but absolutely no more than 10
• Ask your parents for guidance as they may know something you don't.

Seating chart ideas:

• Window
• Chalkboards
• Corks
• Picture frames
• Tons more on Pinterest

If placing your guest in specific places is just too much, consider the assigned table option. It may just save you a headache.
