City or country, modern or vintage, acrylic displays work for many different settings and styles as well, as you’ll see in the examples below. First, let’s discuss the purpose of the wedding seat chart display and why you need one.
Why Is a Wedding Seating Chart Important?
Like any good signage, seating charts provide key information to guests—specifically where they will be sitting during the reception. But there are many ways to accomplish this. Where to start? Decide how to list the table assignments. Do you want to list your guests in alphabetical order? Do you want to list guests by table numbers? Do you want your seating chart on one board? Do you want to use multiple items to provide seating assignments? Then, you can delve into materials and colors to complement a theme. There are a lot of options to express the bride and groom’s personality.
The end goal of a great wedding seating chart display is simply to direct guests to their seats. A thoughtful, well-executed seating chart display not only does this, but does it creatively to match the wedding’s décor and overall theme. Keep reading for some stylish seating chart ideas to match a variety of themes.
16 Wedding Seating Chart Display Ideas
Clearly modern
Acrylic seating charts won’t distract from a breathtaking view at a wedding reception. For an urban rooftop with stunning views, an alphabetical guest list with table numbers laser engraved on acrylic allows guests find their seats while simultaneously taking in the view.
Modern Bohemian
Acrylic is equally at home in rustic settings. In fact, it’s transparency will highlight any backdrop its set against. For outdoor weddings, custom acrylic signs adorned with greenery and propped against a tree can guide guests to their seats at Bohemian-themed weddings. To make it more casual (or allow for last-minute changes), skip the laser engraving and use a paint pen, such as Versachalk Markers, to create you wedding seating chart display.
Mirror, mirror
A versatile display for your wedding day, mirrors used for a wedding seating display can be elegant indoors and unexpected outdoors. Our acrylic mirrors are shatter resistant, making them a smart choice for an outdoor celebration, such as this beach wedding. Smaller-sized mirrors can be placed at each table to denote table numbers.
Seating Chart Shelf
Turn any horizontal surface into a shelf display for your wedding’s seating chart. Here, a vintage buffet displays the seating chart in individual acrylic sign holders. Grouped by table, each chart is protected from the elements and encased in holders of various sizes for visual interest.
Rustic Simplicity
A straightforward list of names with their table assignments adorn this piece of wood. Perfect for a casual outdoor or barn wedding.
Bold Bohemian
Start with custom colored acrylic that matches your wedding color scheme. Print each table’s guests on an acrylic sheet and display in a visible space during cocktail hour. Here, the pink acrylic signs are suspended among macrame plant hangers.
Vintage Charm
With the help of Versachalk Markers and fine penmanship, you can DIY a vintage window pane to direct quests to their tables. Prop the panes against a wall or elevate on an easel or table so guests will be able to view at eye level.
Country Casual
Wooden crates serve as risers and shelving for this rustic wedding seat chart display. Write table numbers on growlers and clear bottles (using Versachalk Markers) and arrange in and on the crates. Then pop a few cut flowers in the vessels. Perfect for nuptials at a brewery or distillery. Cheers!
Gilded Glamour
Even if your wedding isn’t in Troy, New York, you can capture a gilded age theme for your special day with an antique, gold-framed mirror to direct guests.
Charming Chalkboards
For a more casual celebration, craft a chalkboard seating chart display. One large chalkboard can contain all seating arrangements or the information can be divided by table on smaller chalk boards.
Botanical Whimsy
To achieve a truly unique seating chart display, opt for custom shapes cut from acrylic. Here, a custom-cut, leaf-shaped acrylic lends a creative touch to a tropical or boho-chic wedding theme.
Elevated Farmhouse
Step up your farmhouse theme with a ladder display. Print your seating arrangements on cardstock and clip onto twine strung taut across the ladder. Use the horizontal surface of the steps to display florals and candles.
Glam Romance
Place mirrored pedestals at varying heights with florals for a glamorous and romantic wedding seat chart display. Personalize with laser engraved guest names in alphabetical order along with their table assignment. Clusters of candles on the floor help illuminate the display while the flower arrangements on top of the pedestals add elegance.
Sophisticated Stacks
Create a wedding seat chart display with custom printed acrylic boxes that list guests by table. The collection of numbered boxes, stacked and dusted with rose petals, lend a modern romantic aesthetic to a reception.
Storybook Romance
Here’s a novel idea: Transform bookshelves into a magical wedding seating display. Cover books in white butcher paper and write the guests’ seating assignments on the front covers. Again, our Versachalk Markers add flair when “signing” your books. Arrange the books on the shelving, and fill in with florals.
o Garden twist. A mesh metal display is a unique way to display a wedding seat chart while giving a nod to the traditional garden trellis. The gridwall makes it easy to mount seating charts as well as florals. Top the display with a custom neon light celebrating the bride and groom.
