As you might remember, when we first got engaged, Russ bought me this awesome wedding book. It's turned out to be quite helpful on a number of occasions. Thank goodness that I had time to read the book twice b/c I will consult it when I'm not sure what I should do. Kelley always answers all of my questions, but sometimes I feel a bit retarded asking. ;)
Anyway, in the book, it recommended a few ways to do the seating chart...through an Excel spreadsheet, through a Word document, or using this paper plate system. Paper plate system??? What is that!?!?!?! At first, I thought it was a bit odd, esp b/c I had no concept of what in the world Mindy Weiss was talking about, but as I thought about it more, it made perfect sense!
So, basically, the paper plates represent the tables you'll have. Post-Its will be used for the guests + their entree selection. You get as many round, square, rectangle or whatever shaped paper plates you need. And as your RSVPs start rolling in, you use the Post-Its to write down your guests name + their entree selection and start sticking it onto the paper plate. That way, if you move one person from one table, you're simply removing/replacing the Post-It, instead of trying to remember if that person was properly added/deleted from the list in Word of Excel! =)
Totally awesome! And now that we've received about 20+ RSVPs, I've started to do it! Russ probably thinks it's just some random paper plates that need to be recycled, but they're not! ;) Hopefully this method works!! Otherwise, I'm going back to my original gut reaction on how to do a seating chart...Excel! =)
