So I understand how to make a seating arrangement. And I understand that I need to put name cards at each seat at the appropriate tables. I understand about numbering (or whatever, some people do A-Z, some symbols) tables. All fine and dandy.
What I don't understand are what the options are for telling people what table they're at. I know escort cards come into play here, but what are the other options? The only wedding I've been to in the last 5 years definitely did not have escort cards, but I cannot remember for the life of me how we knew what table we were at. It was not in the invitation... we certainly were not verbally told...
Are there alternative options to the escort cards? Are the escort cards in addition to the name cards at each seat? I like the options I've seen where you write them on glass or vintage mirrors and people can just look without having to grab a physical piece of paper.
Also, what's the process with this? I imagine 150 people trying to look at the same space of wall all at once. That can't be what happens, can it?
