Seating Chart - Are you listing guests alphabetically or by table?

Lynnie, on May 29, 2019 at 13:53 Posted in Wedding reception 0 19

How are you approaching your seating chart? Will you have the table assignments displayed alphabetically or by table? An alphabetical list helps your guests find themselves quickly, but it's also nice to know who you'll be sitting with!

Which style do you prefer as a guest, and what are you doing for your wedding?

    I prefer listing by Table this will allow my guests to see who they will be seating with as well in order to mentally prepare themselves Smiley xd

    We did by table. We only had 10 tables so it wasn’t so bad! I’ve only ever seen it by table, even with 250 guests!

    I would like to do mine by table, but I feel like with 175 guests it might be better to do alphabetically

    I think Alphabetically - It looks very crisp and clean!

    I am kinda doing both. It will be in order of table number but then within each table the names are listed alphabetically.

    Alphabetically. There's something just so nice and clean about it.

    We only had 3 guest tables and the head table, so we just had one card on each table with the names; one table for his moms side of the family, one table for his dads side and my family, and one table for the friends.

    Since our tables will be long/rectangular, we will list them by table/spot at the table.

    I will most likely be doing ours by table, and then alphabetically.

    We had a small wedding - only six guest tables - so it was easy to list by table number. But for a bigger wedding I think it would be much easier for guests to find their tables on an alphabetical chart.

    I was going to go with a seating chart which would be smarter, though the cards were ordered to match the design of the menu cards. I went by rows of table numbers rather than alphabetical order.

    Seating chart wise, I would go by table number or theme name.

    Alphabetically for mine - with 250 people it would be way too confusing otherwise!
