5 Unique and Fun Seating Charts: Thinking Outside the Table
Seating charts are an easy way to incorporate the wedding design and reflect the two of you as a couple. You will see weddings that still rather have a board of names and you will see others that are more creative. Whether you go the traditional route or with something unique, seating charts hold one purpose; to tell guests where they are sitting. Check out these 5 unique seating charts that we’ve seen at our weddings or seating charts that we’re dying for one of our couples to do!
Edible/Drinkable Seating Charts
Everyone loves something to snack on or sip on! This is a great way to showcase your favors so they aren’t missed at the end of the night when guests are leaving. You could also set up a champagne wall or table that invites guests into the reception area for dinner. That will get the flow moving faster since guests can grab a drink and sit down. Majority of the time there will be a welcome or thank you toast by a family member or the couple. Guests will already have a drink in there hand to cheers with!

Seating Charts That Reflect You Two
Sit down and think about what you and your significant other love, what you like doing, and what makes your relationship your relationship. Do you love to travel or go to concerts? Do you both have a love for horses? You want your guests to take one look and think, “wow, this is totally them”.
Make it Personal
Let’s get personal! These can options will take some time, but your guests will love the creativity and personalization.
Guests will look for their name and expect their table number to be on the card inside the envelope, but nope! You’re going to surprise them and write a little note for them to make them smile as they find their seats for dinner. You can write a favorite memory or an inside joke. The note doesn’t need to be long, just a little something for your guests. Reach out to Cloud 9 Weddings & Papers to re-create this seating chart!
Find photos of you and your guests and turn those into the seating chart. They can be recent photos or even older photos from when you and your significant other were younger. Your guests will get a kicker out of seeing those old photos and it will bring back memories. You won’t be the only one happy crying at the wedding!
