Seating chart - alpha order?

Hello - when I saw this discussion, I thought to myself, what do I regularly see and the first thing that popped into my head was alphabetical by last name.

However, I attended one wedding that organized each table by couple/single person and I thought that was kind of cute as well. I don't think there is a right or wrong way .. which ever you prefer will work great!

I will say I wish I did a seating chart over escort cards by tables row.

You can go which ever way you feel is suitable to you both. Alphabetical or just by names of couples/individuals. There isn't a wrong way to decide.

End of the day, your guests will be seated until the dinner or speeches are done and move around after for dancing or talking to others.

If you want to display the list by table I would sort them alphabetically within that list, usually by last name. People are so accustomed to where their name falls on an alphabetical list that they will check that spot without even realizing (for example as an H I'm almost always dead center, but my fiance who is a W is always at the bottom so he reads names from bottom to top)

View quoted message I considered this, however we have such a small guest count it doesn’t make sense for us. It’s only 6 tables!

We are doing escort cards in alphabetical order

You typically section it out by alphabet (could be first or last name) and then write the table number next to their name. It's easier to find your seat that way. If you sort and separate it by table number, some guests would have to read the full chart just to find their name at the last table.

You don’t need to organize it in alphabetical order. I organized our’s in alphabetical order by last name
