We’ve been on an “elements of the reception” advice recently, and we’re loving it! This week, we want to give you some seating chart inspiration that is as unique and fun as you! Seating charts are a great way to help take the “where do I sit?” anxiety away for guests and make sure you have your VIPs where you want them! It’s something that can be super easy to make super cute!

Y’all, these!!! These boards are so trendy right now and we love them! For our DIY kings and queens who like painting and maybe have a Cricut, this seating chart is a great idea! You can thrift a divider or build your own, too. Decorate and accessorize in a way that goes well with the aesthetic of the day, and you’re all set!

Are you and your soon-to-be spouse music junkies?! Why not incorporate that in your seating chart?! Purchasing records at a thrift store is so cost effective and a simple DIY. Putting small touches of your interests in the wedding is so special!

Using mirrors for seating charts- we know it, we love it! Get a friend with awesome calligraphy skills to do this for you and take one less task off your plate. Plus, you can reuse the mirror as decor in your home after the big day! It’ll have sentimental value and purpose.

Spring or summer bride? Use this inspiration photo not only as a seating chart, but favors, too! (It’ll save some money!) Buying bouquets from the grocery store or a local farm and cutting the flowers up like seen above is a great way to get pops of color at the reception and can double as table decor for when guests pick their flower up!

This is another spin on writing on mirrors! You can buy stands like this and can be used as decor in the future, too. Accessorizing with florals is a great way to make a seating chart stand out so no one is searching for where it is!

Love photos?! Go digging through your guests Facebook and Instagram accounts and print out Polaroid look-alike photos to add a super personal touch for guests. Plus, it’s an adorable way to keep record of who attended your wedding for the scrapbook!
We hope this got some ideas spinning if you were a little stuck on what to do for seating charts. Remember, seating charts really help friends and family know what to do and where to go, and it takes pressure off of them to have the awkward, “can I sit here?” conversation!
