Seating Charts for 300+

I have a post in Do It Yourself with a picture of my seating chart... Honestly you will need to wait til your RSVPs come back and look into doing in that last month after your final count is in. I have changed mine 4 times now and I'm six days away and still changing...lol

Still working on making my fonts bigger

You will probably need more than one with 300 people. This is a chart for 144

You'll want more than one, unless you're planning to use escort cards, in which case you don't need the displayed charts at all.

If I had that many guests I would just go for escort cards. It seems way easier, and might be cheaper than building a few charts to display.

We used picture frames on an old fence. But this is for about 140 guests.

I would go with escort cards in alphabetical order. It's going to be way easier on your guests.

@ Courtney- omg that's so cute! Love it

For 200 people, we did a poster board of table assignments. I would think you may need 2 boards because I don't think most etsy sellers can make a board for that many people.

I've got 300+ and I'm doing escort "cards" (not actually cards but putting their name and table names on their favor box- saves money and time). However, since we're not having number on the tables, rather names of famous couples, we're making a diagram/map of the reception hall showing where the tables are. Of course if you are doing numbers then you wouldn't have to do this.

A priceless suggestion for sure, make a chart on alphabetical order instead of table order and yes have more than one chart.

Someone posted on here that they did a seating chart with every invited guests names, assuming 100% would attend. Then as they got their rsvps in, they removed and adjusted people. This might save you some time! I do think escort cards would help in this situation too.

I'm still undecided if I'm just doing escort cards or doing a seating chart with place cards at the table (I have to talk to our coordinator because we have to have cards displayed with meal choice), but I made a custom size poster on powerpoint and plan to have it printed at FedEx office a few days before the wedding. I obviously don't have table assignments yet, but I just added everyone (~240) for my template and will adjust accordingly after RSVPs.

I would recommend not doing one of the examples posted above (they both look like they're listed according to table) and doing it alphabetically to make it easier for people to find their name especially for 300 people. I also plan on printing two of the same posters if we go that route and having one displayed in the cocktail hour room and another displayed around the entrance to the dinner room to make it easier for everyone.

ETA: ha I see other people posted the same advice while I was typing out my novel
