Hello Hello! I’ve been designing some really fun seating charts over the past few years and I’d love to share them with you. This is one of the best ways to show your guests about your personalities into your beautiful wedding day! Unfortunately, most weddings I do not receive images, therefore I have to design these mock-ups for you to check out! Every single one of these maps were printed on canvas with a floater frame and kept after the event for a decoration in their home after the big day! So this doubles as a decoration seating chart and home decor piece! I’ve designed a few more, check them out here.
1) Favorite Spot in the World
Do you and your spouse have a favorite spot in the world?! What better way to show your wedding guests each of your fav spots with having them actually SIT at their tables?! So fun! Each table can have a photo from you and your partner at the favorite spot and/or a postcard from the spot! So fun and great way to show your friends and family your favorite spots. Great conversation starters as well! “Have you been?!” “Yes! You?!” Insert said awesome story here…. :) Matching Table Numbers were designed below for this wedding as well!
2) Favorite Baseball Park
Have a Favorite Baseball Team? Design a seating chart all around your favorite team! On this seating chart I illustrated Fenway Park for the bride and grooms favorite team, the Red Sox! All the table images matched the seating chart on the tables, you can see a few examples of how the couple could have framed them for their tables.
3) Favorite Golf Courses
Is golf your thing? Getting married at a golf course? We live across from a golf course and while I work with my window open I can hear the crack of the ball and I absolutely love the sound and the feel of the warm air on my body. This couple wed at a golf course and are golf fanatics so we designed this for their favorite courses all over the world! So fun! Anything to incorporate your ‘loves’ into your big day!
3) Favorite Ski Hills
I have so many clients who are doing this seating chart right now! I absolutely LOVE learning about their favorite places to ski! We’ve designed this a few different ways, however this one has a lot going on and I love this one showing where all the locations are on the map. To see more of this one in different versions, click here. Check out the matching table numbers below the chart.
4) Venue Room Layout
Is your room layout a little hard to navigate?! Laying out the room on a large board is the best way to show your guests where to go once it’s time to sit down for dinner. Adding in your style of their wedding (art deco perhaps?) is the best way to do this. I love this type of seating chart version, however you need to remember to move your RSVP date on your invitations up by a couple weeks if you're wanting to do something like this. These take a bit more work than a regular seating chart. If you’re going this route, you’ll need to make sure a couple weeks is available to design this. Sometimes room layouts change last minute and since framed canvas’ take a couple weeks to print & ship we need that time before the wedding to get this done. A quicker way to print would be a poster or foam core poster.
These Crane table numbers come in packs and are a great way to match your seating chart without doing custom table numbers! They come in packs of 10 (1-10 & 11-20) and are a reasonable price! However they ONLY go to 20, so make sure you have 20 or less tables!
5) Favorite Places Seating Chart
We all have a favorite city, so show it off! You can treat this in a couple different ways. Most people put their favorite city spots as well as their ‘firsts’ on their map seating chart, however you could also use this like you use your itinerary and map and use this list (Click here) to design your locations on your seating chart maps as well!
6) National Park Seating Chart
Love the National Parks?! I LOVE these charts designed from old National Park posters. 56xyg This illustrates the couples favorite parks in the US. Then they had place cards to match that took them to their table! Check out more National Park Seating Charts here.
7) Favorite Park Places
Number 7 is near and dear to my heart. I love the colors, I love the art deco star burst and I love the venue illustration. This one also has a few of the other seating chart elements from the previous seating charts: I designed an illustration of the venue (boat house), designed a map around the piece as well as the favorite places which was the proposal spot, first kiss spot and first date spot! So many spots to share their favs on the day of their wedding!
8) Window Decal
This London Map is full of the couples favorite spots however we put it on the window of their venue!
9) Venue Illustration
I design a lot of venue illustrations and other favorite spots (museums, restaurants, hotels, etc….) I love designing these illustrations and then once it’s finished people use it for much more than just their seating charts! This particular seating chart was for The Breakers in Palm Beach. The venue is so amazing it was easy to make it the focal point of their wedding day of pieces! Click here to see this illustration and how we used it in Cross and Ethan’s big day!
10) Favorite Movie
For this seating chart we incorporated the couples favorite movie, Star Wars! We also used some of the movies quotes as well as coaster and napkins from other movies.
11) College Sports
For this seating chart we incorporated the couples favorite sporting moments.
