Chic and Trendy: A Collection of Welcoming 'Seating Charts' Gaining Popularity

Gradually Gaining Popularity ♡ Have You Heard of Seating Boards?

An item that is gradually becoming popular as a decorative piece in the reception or welcome space for weddings and after-parties is...

This "Seating Board" ♡

A "Seating Board" is a welcome item that consolidates the details of the seating chart (guest names and their corresponding table numbers) into one large board.*

In overseas contexts, it is also referred to as a "Seating Chart" ♩

So, by checking this "Seating Board" at the reception, guests can easily identify who is sitting at the same table by looking at their table number ♩

It’s large, which makes it great for DIY and decoration, and its presence is outstanding, much like a welcome board!

This seating board is often prepared for small weddings or after-parties.*

Here are six designs of actual handmade seating boards by brides that I found on Instagram ♩

Seating Board Design ①＊*

The first design I'm introducing features cards for each table with the guest names printed, all attached to a corkboard ♡

This is actually a very budget-friendly DIY project!＊ The corkboard is from Daiso, the antique pins are from Seria, and I just used a photo taken during a trip as the background, adding the alphabet and names!

It’s so simple and affordable to DIY like this that many of you might want to give it a try＊

Seating Board Design ②＊*

An elegant design with antique-style framed cards displayed on a tall corkboard is also very stylish ♡

The flowers at the top of the board and the softly hanging tulle are incredibly cute and glamorous!＊

The cards only printed with first names like Tsubasa and Mizuho feels very international!

Seating Board Design ③＊*

There’s an amazing DIY idea that repurposes bed slats into a seating board!

The slats have slightly different colored photo frames attached to them, dividing the guest tables ♩

The board titled "Find Your Name," made from five stacked plywood boards, is very high quality!

Seating Board Design ④＊*

I discovered a long horizontal seating board designed like a blackboard! The white frame and lettering stand out beautifully against the black board ♡

If you look closely, you'll see it has 22 tables!

For larger weddings, it might be a good idea to prepare a long large seating board along with the seating chart ♩

Seating Board Design ⑤＊*

Here’s a seating board from a couple who shares a passion for table tennis ♡

Each table features silhouettes of table tennis players in different poses, which looks cool!＊

Male guests have their names written in blue text, while female guests have theirs in orange, making it easy to distinguish between them◎

Seating Board Design ⑥＊*

The last design features a seating board with a wooden frame attached to a single glass panel, creating the illusion of having brought a window right in! ♡

Don’t you think it looks very chic and international?

The large letters for the table numbers are also a nice touch for the guests◎
