Seating Chart or Name cards?

I prefer escort cards because I think they are easier for guests and it’s a lot easier if you need to make a last minute change. I dislike everyone huddling around a poster board trying to find their name. It’s easier to grab a piece of paper that’s been laid out on a table in alphabetical order.

I think seating chart for table assignments is way easier actually. The only reason I'd have name cards is if it's a part of the party favor.

We used name cards, bought them from Michaels, $5 for 50 cards and I just wrote them myself.

I decided to do escort cards I felt like it is more work but I feel like it will be much easier for the guests.

We are doing a seating chart & place cards on specific seats since we are assigning seats. If you are only assigning tables, escort cards are great too!

I’m using place cards & only assigning tables not seats. However, this is a requirement of the venue (we need place cards w/ individual names & their entree choice is indicated on the back). I got cute little stamps for the entree. Apparently the venue servers instruct the guests on how to put the place card on the table in front of them & the stamp indication is how the servers know who ordered what.

I like escort cards better. I feel like cards go a lot smoother and faster because they just pick up the card and go instead of everyone gathering and pushing around one board.

We're doing a seating chart due to expense and space. Our venue simply doesn't have the room for an additional table for escort cards and one chart is much more manageable than 100+ escort cards.

We're not doing any of that. It's a pretty casual wedding, the only assigned table is our sweetheart table. Most of our friends and family know one another so I want them to sit with who they want to. I always hated going to weddings and being stuck at tables with strangers and trying to force small talk. That's me though, some people love that

We plan on doing a seat chart, the cards seem like more of a hassle to find where a chart is just on a board so I think it’s easier you find names.

Escort cards! I bought them dirt cheap at michaels crafts.

We are doing both! A sign with the names under the table numbers and then placecards at each seat (which is also a favor)

As I guest I 100% prefer individual guest cards, which is what I plan on doing for my own wedding too. (Also if you’re doing a plated meal most caterers require it).
