"A Variety of Options: Benefits and Drawbacks of 'Seating Charts' including Profile Books and Spiral Seating Charts*"

What kind of "seating chart" will you choose?

Have you decided what kind of "seating chart" to use to inform your guests at the wedding? Although it is simply called a "seating chart," there are various types such as a profile book or escort card, so it can be confusing to choose one...

This time, we will introduce the pros and cons of different types of seating charts for brides-to-be. Please think about what kind of seating chart you want while looking through this ♩

Wedding seating chart ① Tri-fold seating chart, accordion seating chart

The first type we will introduce is the classic "tri-fold seating chart" and "accordion seating chart," which have been around for a long time. The good thing about the tri-fold and accordion seating charts is that they are easy to read and contain a lot of information ♩ There are various designs of seating charts sold at paper item shops, so it’s great that you can choose from a wide range of designs ◎

Many brides also opt for DIY. Special paper is sold, making it easy for beginners to craft their own ♩

A potential downside is that since it is a standard shape, it might be unsatisfactory for brides who want to create something a bit more unique and specialized...!

I want to DIY easily

I want to choose cute designs from a wide variety

Wedding seating chart ② Roll-up seating chart

Next, we introduce the "roll-up seating chart." This is a chart made by rolling up a single sheet of paper, like A4, and securing it with a ribbon or similar.

It can be DIYed with just one piece of paper, making it a recommended seating chart for brides who aren’t good with computers. Since it only uses one piece of paper, it's also suitable for brides who don't want to include too much of their information ♡

A drawback is that since it's rolled up, when guests open it, it might roll back somewhat, making it a little hard to see...!

Wedding seating chart ③ Profile book

A profile book is more than just a seating chart; it contains information such as profiles, pre-wedding photos, the food menu, and DIY items, all compiled into one book. It is packed with information, making it a great read ♡

A downside is that DIYing it can be difficult, and if you order one, the cost per book can be high...! However, it will allow guests to enjoy themselves and will become a memorable keepsake ♩

Wedding seating chart ④ Escort card

An escort card is a card that contains the guest's name and table number. Guests will take the card (place card) with their name written on it at the reception and head to their respective seats ♡

The escort card only specifies the table number, meaning guests can choose their own seats, creating a casual atmosphere reminiscent of overseas weddings ♡

A downside is that since there isn't a "seating chart," older guests may be surprised...!

Wedding seating chart ⑤ Seating chart board

A seating chart is a large board that displays the seating arrangements. Instead of handing out individual seating charts to each guest, the arrangements are written on a large sign for guests to see ◎

A downside is that you must know the location of the tables in advance, and during large weddings, it can become crowded in front of the sign, resulting in delays.
