Say What?
I'm down to the last details of my wedding planning, and I'm stumped on the seating assignments / arrangements. I'm having a beach themed wedding and I purchased mini picture frames that will serve as seating assignment and favors. http://www.theweddingoutlet.com/Wedding-Themes/Beach-Wedding/Shell-Placecard-Holder
I was going to purchase paper table number sets and arrange seating by table number. However, my fiance wants to incorporate hockey into the theme because he plays ice hockey and is a die hard fan. He wants to use players names for the tables instead of numbers. How would I do this? Do they have web sites where you can have them print whatever you want instead of just pre-printed numbers?
Also, how do you let everyone know what table number they are assigned to? I was thinking of having a chart on the same table as the guest book with each person's name alphabetized and table number. Is that tacky, or should I assign someone to guide the guests to their seats? How did you handle your seating arrangements / assignments if you had or are having any?
Also, we are having a beach ceremony and there is limited seating. I want to assign seats to family, children and the elderly. It will likely be somewhat windy. How should I assign seating? I need something that will not blow away and will not ruin the chairs. Any ideas?
Answer
You can create a table seating chart with some hockey sticks on the corners or something to add to the theme. Or find little hockey puck name card holders.
The easiest way is to print namecards with the table number ON them. Dont go to to much expense.
You set the name cards up on a table in the entry of the room so people can see where they are sitting, then on the tabel you put table numbers, see if you can find online hocket stick table number holders. Or you can buy a bunch of pucks and put table numbers on them or something

What to do for table numbers?
Naughty
Does the venue usually provide table numbers, or do I have to make them myself? Am I supposed to come up with some sort of holders for them, or buy picture frames to put them in? Any ideas?
Thank you!
Answer
Call your venue and ask the events/wedding coordinator.
Our venue provided table number holders, but I made our own table numbers using a Brides kit that matched our invitations and name cards.
You could use picture frames, picture holders (the wire type stands), or google your wedding's theme (if you have one) and see if you can find something to match. IE, our theme was beach and I found starfish and beach chairs....but ultimately decided on just the simple ones to save money.
I definitely recommend trying to find them on eBay over buying them in the store! Good luck!!
