Seating Charts, Seating Boards, Seating Posters

Throughout the year, I did tons of seating charts. This year was no exception. Instead of posting each seating board individually, I thought I would do one post showing a sampling of some that I have done for various clients. Michelle's chart was modern and had the same mirrored monogram as her chart.
Most seating posters are elegant and formal with a monogram.
And other seating arrangement posters are lush in deep colors with a monogram.
Some of my favorite placecard alternative are the white printing on a black seating chart.
This chart came from a client that wanted something to coordinate with her invitations.
And other clients ask to have the menu on their seating charts as well as the bridal party.

Jennifer's Vintage Plum and Gold Wedding Reception

Fall weddings are definitely abundant here at Gourmet Invitations the last two months. It always seems like my fall weddings order so many reception items as well. Jennifer's vintage aubergine and gold wedding was no exception. I designed these square booklet invitaions with a ribbon binding.

Table numbers were designed with a monogram and were to be placed in an easel or frame.

I designed gold menus for each placesetting and the charitable donation as a favor was mentioned at the bottom of the menu.

A seating chart was designed instead of placecards in a vintage matching style with their monogram.

Ashley's Red and Black Damask Wedding Reception

Ashley's damask invitations with a rhineston broach and red box mailers were a huge hit with her guests. The reception decor items followed the same look. I designed black damask programs.

Black damask table numbers with a red backer.

Ashley wanted her signature drink sign to be a fun and honeymoon related. Since their honeymoon was a cruise in Tahiti, I named the signature drink Tahitian Paradise.

A black damask seating chart was designed instead of placecards.

Katie's Barn Wedding Reception Items

Katie's barn theme wedding had more details than most any wedding I've done. There were signs everywhere, but I unfortunately wasn't able to photograph them. Fortunately though, Kara Purtell did an amazing job capturing all of the images and you'll be seeing more of them soon. :) Big thanks too to Ana from TwoFoot Creative for pulling off a very elegant evening at Misty Farm.

I designed programs with the foldover reveal in their western font and old typewriter font.


Love the bar menu that I designed with K&D Saloon at the top.

Square table numbers that were framed in pretty silver frames.


Dinner menus with K&D Favorite Foods

Valet Tags that were hung from each guest's rear view mirror at the end of the evening.

Sign for the shuttle that took guests from the parking lot to the farm. I designed it as a stagecoach sign to take guests to the hitchin'. ;)

And a seating chart, which is perfect for an outdoor wedding - no windswept placecards!

Christine's Font Frenzy Wedding Reception Items

Christine's invitations are another of my favorites this year. I loved using so many fonts to come together to create such a unique invitation. The reception items were no exception to that.

The menus were designed in a deep purple and the layout is so fun with large carnival like headings and different fonts for each course.

Bathroom basket signage

These survey cards were place at each guests table setting and acted as a full guest book alternative.

Valet tags that were hung from each guests' rear view mirror.

Unique thin favor tags.

Thank you cards written in all different languages.

Fun circus like Welcome sign for the wedding reception.

Amy's Teacher Inspired Wedding Reception

Amy was my son's Young Fives Teacher last year at Little Turtle in Macomb County. I offered to design her seating chart for her. Both her and Dave are teachers so I suggested doing a chart board style seating chart!


Once Amy saw the design for the seating chart, she asked if I could do table numbers too. I suggested that she do letters instead of numbers for the tables and I made them look like small chalk boards.

Map style seating charts for your wedding

Last year I did a map for a seating chart. It was incredibly popular and was even featured on Brides.com. I just completed two more wedding seating charts with a map in the background.


Hadassa and her fiance are originally from the island of St. Vincent and we did a map of the island on the chart.

Then Jessica is getting married on The Chesapeake Bay and I did a map of the bay.
