Ceremony Seat Reserved Signs

If you are doing reserved seat signs, make them on regular size paper (8 1/2 X 11) with RESERVED FOR _________ on them and put them on the seat. If seating is outdoors, make sure the signs are either lightly taped or have a paperweight (a rock is fine) so they don't blow away. I would advise against tags, no one will see them. It needs to be obvious. We do these for high level execs at corporate events. They don't need to be fancy, just legible and obvious. Make sure there is someone who is seating the people who are in the reserved section and those people should remove the signs and dispose of them once the person is seated. Your guests shouldn't have to handle the signs.

That's a good idea, but I don't know if we will have anyone to seat the parents and grandparents (other than each other). Also, some of the reserved signs are for the flower girls to remind them where to sit after they walk down the aisle. The tags would be oversized, only tags in that they have a hole in them.

Have a groomsman or someone from the venue seat those people. Even if they are notified in advance there are reserved seats for them, they shouldn't have to go around looking for their name. Also, they shouldn't have to hold or sit on the reserved sign. If the flower girls are sitting after walking down the aisle, the people they are sitting with can guide them to their seat.

I am telling you from years of experience (I have worked in corporate event planning for 9 years) that some people will not notice a tag or anything that is not big and on the seat. It's awkward to have to ask someone to get up and move.

I made these for the parents at our wedding. I cut and wrote on them with my Cricut and then just added a very long piece of ribbon so they would hang down the chairs, we had an outdoor ceremony and they stayed on fine (though it was a mild day)

It's only a few people and they will know where they're sitting, this is more of a last minute fail-safe. The groomsmen will be in place so they will not be seating people.

@pumped up kicks, that gives me an idea--I could make vertical sashes with tulle and I think they'd work a lot better. Thank you!
