Seating Card Line-Up
I just love sharing things with you…thought i would post all the time but life gets in the way sooooo here are some things i was thinking about this weekend at a wedding I coordinated in Brentwood, California. I was placing the seating cards on the table and was wondering how would everyone know the easiest way to put the cards out without running out of room on the table, or having to re-do the rows 10 times so they end up even and in nice straight rows. Why such a big deal you ask? Well when i started in the business sometimes i would be standing at the seating card table putting the cards out and then re-doing them for an hour… So here are my tips for setting up your seating card table…
1.first count how many cards you have
2.figure out how many rows will fit on the table. You do this by placing a single row of your seating cards going across the length of your table. Take that number (for instance 15 went across the table) and divide the number of seating cards by 15 and then you will know how many cards go in each row.
3. Make sure you put the practice cards back in you pile alphabetical. Oh did I mention they must be alphabetical by last name?
4. Start with your first row and match all following rows to that first row. That way it will look all straight and even.
5. Most importantly YOU should not be doing this job! Assign someone very responsible to this task because YOU will be getting all beautiful for your hubby to be.
