Seating Chart

Hey! Just wondering has anyone DIY’d their own seating chart? Would you recommend the process or rather get it custom made?

    It's from Wishful Paperie, you can find it right here . We got all of our signage from this shop, I looked for a very long time and compared everything. I like the sleek, modern design... and the prices too lol

    This is exactly what I want to do! What is the name of the file you bought on Etsy if you don’t mind?

    I’ll be DIYing for sure! I just haven’t decided on what I wanna make exactly, I wanna be creative so I’m still brainstorming ideas, I am for it obviously lol

    More so if you enojoy being crafty, if you hate that stuff ask your venue or a friend, a client of mine offered to do it for me for the cost of supplies. Which is nice to know in case for some reason I fail I have a back-up plan to fall on. Or even just to take some of the workload off of me. But I really wanted to do most of it myself, I’m excited to do that stuff!

    No problem! If you're at a banquet hall, they have a lot of resources Smiley smile

    Our venue supplies it - it's a basic banquet hall, so they have most of the extra stuff we need. They even offered us a money box lol

    I haven't done so as yet but I plan to make an acrylic board for the seating chart for our wedding. You can buy it at home depot for a reasonable price and use chalk markers to do this. This will probably be the only DIY i will be doing. But it is more cost effective then buying one custom made. I just wonder though how much are the easels to put the board on?

    I bought a file from etsy at a very reasonable price, and I have started filling it in with the names as the RSVPs come in. We're then going to print it on a foam board, add a garland of greenery, and stand it on an easel beside the guest book table.

    Yes so overpriced! I heard an acrylic board is the most common but I’m sure a regular cardboard/ styrofoam board would work if I decorated it accordingly

    Oh that’s awesome! I will ask my venue as well. It would be tricky since I have over 200 guests but thanks for the idea

    I bought a photo frame, it looks like a window with 6 sections. I have 6 tables so I will be making my own "photos" with the table assignments.

    Our venue has some boards that we are able to use. I will most likely see if I can get it a week before the wedding and then write it out myself. Would rather not spend the money to have it custom made when its just writing out peoples names

    I haven't DIY'd one, but it looks simple enough. The ones that I see are always so overpriced!!

    What kind of board were you looking to make?
