Edible seating charts are a new trend in the wedding world that is gaining popularity. Though they are not as creative as string art ones, carved wood ones and others, they have a whole ton of advantages that you may like.
What Are Edible Seating Chart Advantages?
Edible seating charts feature food or drinks and cards, and that means you can offer them as favors, too, reducing the fuss and saving some money. The second point is that if you are afraid your guests will get hungry while the reception starts, such cards with food are perfect. Third, if the weather is hot, servign cards with refreshing drinks is essential. Fourth, serving alcohol can raise the spirits a little bit, and isn’t that what we want for the big day? Fifth, an edible seating chart is easy to make yourself, and that means saving money again.
Foodie Seating Charts
What food to serve? Consider the season first: in the summer these might be seasonal fruit and berries, in the fall these might be apple pies, for example. Choose something crowd-pleasing, for example, sweets that are loved by most people: chocolate, cupcakes, pies, candies. How to style the food you are serving? If these are small berries, fruit or candies, you will need boxes or containers, where you can attach the cards. If it’s an outdoor wedding on a warm day, you should consider the bugs and cover the fodo somehow, for example, place glazed donuts in clear boxes or cover the stand with clear glass. If you have a wall, decorate it with flowers and greenery and add elegant letters.

I’d offer to consider the season or location to choose the drinks accordingly, for example, tequila shots for a Mexican wedding or fresh lemonade for a summer one.
