Need inspiration.. ceremony chair name tags?

Surely you can just tie the tags to the sash? Apologies if that's not what you meant!

HI!

It might be better to just put a nicely designed postcard style piece of card on the seat of the chair? That way people have to pick it up to read it so no chance of them missing it and sitting there by mistake. (Which they may do if it;s hung on the back of the chair)

That was going to be my suggestion too. If it's on the seat of the chair they can't miss it ?

The sash is quite thick and it'll be hooded so nothing can really be hung from it.

Also, as the ceremony is outside, I really have to attach the sign to the chair somehow as it may blow off otherwise if it's a bit windy.

I meant wide, not thick. I think I might just have them on the seats and use heavy card and hope they don't fall off!

You could use something as a paper weight - maybe a single rose?! might get a but expensive though!

Or a pretty looking pebble?

Pebble would be nice! I have seen people use them as name places, so you could even write/paint their names on the pebble, so no need for card at all!

Ok the inspiration is coming now! Thanks girls!

Could you not just tell the ushers to make sure no-one sits in those chairs?

This is what I did and then the registrar messed up my carefully prepared seating plan for who would sit in the front 15 seats! (I'd worked it all out so my parents could see my face and his parents could see his etc, and so the BMs were in the right position and so on.) The registrar then went and asked our witnesses to sit next to us, and he put out extra chairs for them... when we'd planned on having them in the front row, and then that left the Best Man nowhere to sit, and I turned up and he just thought "oh I'll sit anywhere" and ended up having to take a while to come up and give us the rings at the right place!

So Niki, make sure you talk to your registrar in advance LOL!

I'm going to make signs and put them on the chair. At least I don't have to worry about anyone c*cking it up, lol

You could add a ribbon to the card & then pin them onto the sash , same principle as this:

Useful thread - we were working out our 'reserved seating' last night; 3 rows on my side and 2 rows on hers, but the added complication of people who need to come up during the ceremony and do readings etc but sitting with their partners/family.

As I know all the people that will be sitting in those seats, I'll just be at the front before the ceremony begins and prod people sitting in the wrong place, but it would be nice to have a keepsake to put on the chairs. I like the painted pebble idea, one of those coloured paint type pens should do the job nicely methinks.

One other issue I have which any advice appreciated - I have a family of 2+5 which is essentially a complete row. Should I reserve them a row, if so where (front or rear) or hope they just arrive early enough so they can all sit together?

I would reserve them a row; they are very special guests.
