I love seating charts at weddings. They are more fun and interactive than escort cards. Maybe it is because I just don’t like the look of the escort cards, but that’s not my point.
A local bride contracted Laura Hooper to have her create a seating chart for her rehearsal dinner. However, she did it as a surprise to her soon-to-be-husband by making it a St. Louis Cardinal-themed seating chart. Now, I love the Cardinals (a ton) and am not a huge fan of putting sports into a wedding, but I love that they used this for their rehearsal dinner. He loved it and the guests loved it, too. Couldn’t get any better than that!

As much as I love a cute escort card table, I also love the idea of a seating chart for your wedding guests, like this one featured recently on 100 Layer Cake.

There have been a lot of creative ideas featured recently on a lot of wedding blogs out there, with different variations. This particular one would probably work best with a smaller guest list, so not everyone was crowding around it. BUT, I guess at that point it doesn’t matter, seeing as you would have guests crowding around a table to find their name on a card.
Anyhoo, I think this is a fun and alternative way to show your guests where they will be seated, and this way you don’t have to print out a ton of little table-tended cards!
How will you be seating your guests? Or can your guests choose their table?
