I'd love to have a more interesting way of displaying where everyone sits than just printing out a list and pinning it up. I've seen some people have names printed on ornate mirrors but the quote I've had was $550 for that.

Does anyone know of any cheaper way/place to get that done (in sydney)...or have a good suggestions for how I can make the seating list look good?

thanks!

I like the idea of the mirror but that's pretty expensive!

We had our wedding in Surfers by the pool so this is what we did.

Cost about $5! Everyone loved it!

You could make your own mirror seating chart using water slide decal paper. It's easy to use, you just print on it using your home printer and apply. I've done it on a candle but apparently it's just as easy with glass.

Do you have a theme for your wedding? Knowing that might help give you some more ideas smile.gif

My only suggestion is however you do it to do it by name not by table. Nothing worse than crowding around (especially at a big wedding) and reading table one - no not us, table two, no not us, table three, no not us.... table 22? YEAH! THERE we are... (all the while being jostled by 100 other people doing the same thing...).

At least most people know their own name tongue.gif so if it is alphabetical then it's pretty easy to immediately identify your name and where you are.

We listed ours by name at the top, and then underneath by table. That way people could suss out who else they were sitting with smile.gif

I don't have any exciting ideas - but just want to agree with Amy re listing it by name alphabetically - we did this and was 100 times better than listing by table number (and ours was only a smallish wedding - 70 guests).

Fi-fi - your umbrellas were so cute - as is your puppy dog in your signature.
