Your dream wedding seating chart can quickly become a nightmare. From last minute RSVPs to making sure each table is filled with people that’ll enjoy one another’s company, you can quickly start overanalyzing and stressing out on a simple seating chart. Never fear, mastering the seating chart can be done if you follow some guidelines.
Don’t Start Too Early
Don’t start the seating chart until you have back all of the RSVPs. Of course, you’re going to get some in last minute which might throw things off a bit. Random people you never thought would come will RSVP “yes,” and people you thought would for sure be in presence for one of the biggest days of your life might not be able to come.
You can easily group all of your guests onto a spreadsheet or scratch sheet of paper. Sort them according to their relationship to you to make it easier to know where to begin. Making the Seating Chart
Choose if you’d like to create a seating chart online or scribble it out on a piece of paper. Remember, you may make many edits so choose which way is easiest for you. Many people choose to create a chart online because you can easily move people around with the click of a mouse. Some like to see the entire outline on paper and erase/pencil-in people as they go. Some brides even color code their seating chart with Post-it notes, creating a key for friends, family members, co-workers, and other groups.
