Wedding Wednesday: Seat Your Guests

 

Besides the champagne, cake, and the couple, seating your guests is one of the most important reception details. It's the only way to avoid chaos. You can do this with escort cards that feature names and table numbers, and place cards that are placed at each place setting. Having both is lovely, but not totally necessary. Here's inspiration.

Acrylic Drink Stirrers
Love this idea, and have actually have seen it used at a wedding. Greet your guests with a glass of bubbly that will also direct them to their table and seat. Or have the glass of champagne waiting at their seat at their assigned table. It is a great way to start the reception with a toast!

Tassel Place Cards
Tassels always add a touch of sophisticated fun.
