Seating charts are not only a practical way to tell guests where to sit but also a chance to tie in your Bar or Bat Mitzvah theme. Unlike individual escort card or place cards, a seating chart requires minimal setup—typically just an easel or a freestanding display. When designing your seating chart, you can choose to list table assignments alphabetically by guest’s last name or by table. Listing alphabetically makes it easier for guests to quickly find their names, preventing long lines in front of the chart. However, listing by table can create a more cohesive and visually pleasing design, especially for themed events.
Check out some of our favorite seating charts from past events:
Ollie’s Breakfast-themed Bar Mitzvah seating chart incorporated his custom logo seamlessly. Oversized letters used to alphabetize guest names mimicked the “O” in his logo, adding a personal and creative touch.
Jake’s hockey-themed Bar Mitzvah took a unique approach by combining a seating chart with an interactive escort card display. Guests located their names on the chart and removed miniature jerseys with their table assignments—perfect for hockey fans!
