Honestly my friend had the frame & I found it very confusing & people were crowded around it for a while & it took some time for people to find their name b/c there was a glare on the frame. Although I thought it was really nice I prefer the placecards--easier to find your name.

You can keep the framed chart and it is a lovely keepsake. One hall that I looked at included it, plus they would have had attendants with lists to inform people of where their seats are. When I decided not to get married at the place that included it, I looked into getting it done anyway. It turned out to be quite expensive, but maybe not more than getting hand calligraphy on placecards. I LOVE the idea but I decided to have place cards in little envelopes and I think it will cost a little less.

They do make non glare glass and you can put 3 or four on a table depending on the amount of guests. Larger/legible font will help too.

Nothing beats the traditional placecards. Plus people can hold them as they look for their table. I like also the framed display of placecards with them held on with ribbon. That way it's displayed pretty but they can remove their name.
