11 Unique Table Plan Ideas for Your Big Day
Once you have your table plan set, you then need to display it to your guests, creating a theme to name your tables and then a large clear display so guests know where they are sitting.
Table Plan Ideas We Love
We have rounded up a range of ideas and images showing creative ways to display your table and seating plan.
Acrylic
Something simple and stylish, perfect for a minimal wedding. A sheet of perspex with your table plan printed on. Not an easy DIY project but there are many suppliers who are able to do and create this for you.
If you have a rustic or vintage frame you would like to use, then how about getting some perspex cut to size to fit the frame, and then writing onto this. A great way to make something unique and different.
Copper & Rose Gold
Be it a printed table plan or hanging tags a copper and rose gold stand can look different and very stylish. Depending on your color scheme it can stand out and make a great statement piece. Copper piping can be made into a stylish stand or you can use something ready made.

Ideas for materials can include printing onto materials such as linen as mentioned before, wood is another great material that is perfect for that rustic feeling. Be it your plan mounted onto some old wooden planks, table plans hanging from an old rustic step ladder which can then be decorated too.
Mirror and Frames
A vintage mirror or a selection of beautiful frames are the perfect ready made wedding table plan. A wonderful way to display your seating plan, hand written onto a beautiful vintage mirror, or a range of picture frames for each individual table positioned or hung.
You can try and buy a used old mirror, or perhaps try and hire one, you can then use a white wipeable market pen to write your table plan onto it.
Your Theme
When coming up with a theme for how to name and plan your tables you can be as creative as you want, from naming them places your have visited, your favourite drinks or foods, or perhaps your favourite hobbies or sports.
Something fun and something different:
- Using the periodic table
- Scrabble
- Lego
- Grab a drink
