With all of the inspiration we get from Pinterest, it can be incredibly overwhelming. The wedding seating chart sets the tone for the vibe of the wedding and can be used as a beautiful decor piece. Think about it... everyone looks at the seating chart. But one of the biggest question I get from brides when they commission me to do their seating chart is, "What should we put as the header?" This isn't a detail that should be skipped! Below are some examples aside from the typical Find Your Seat.

If you're tired of seeing the same, repetitive wedding seating chart headers, keep reading!


Where you're meant to be

This heading gives off the feeling that the stars are aligned for you to be joining loved ones on the most important night of someone's life. In a way, it feels romantic and certainly not one I've seen used a ton at weddings.

First we dine, then we dance

For the couples that plan to spend the night on the dance floor! If you know you're going to have guests who like to party, this could be the seating chart header for you! It's playful and kicks off the night with letting your guests know they're in for a fun time!

You're here and we're so grateful you are

Two words: Noah Kahan. This header is so underrated and frankly, I haven't seen it at a wedding yet. It's genuine, to the point, and will make your guests feel special!


sit. stay.

This is one for the dog parents! Imagine a dog- inspired seating chart with fun illustrations or paintings of your fur babies! And no hate to cats or other animals, but the "sit, stay" header doesn't really work for them. The perfect way to include your fur babies in your special day!


Stay awhile

For the Type B couple, this header tells your guests that you're super chill and low key!


You're at the fun table

This header sets the night off on the right foot- you're ready to have fun and want your guests to feel the same way!


And if you still can't decide on a seating chart header, opt to not include one! It isn't the end of the world and honestly, some seating charts speak for themselves.
