Searching for an alphabetical seating chart list

[Jake N Niki]

I have been searching for basically 2 full days for an alphabetical seating chart list template similar to this one:

 

http://www.etsy.com/listing/108037595/petals-wedding-seating-chart-digital

 

This is for our Jack and Jill bridal shower which will have about 150 guests in total. I can't see paying $50 for a template. I'm not very good with photoshop, powerpoint, publisher, etc. By not very good, I actually mean terrible/no clue...lol. 

 

I'm about ready to shell out the $50 even though I think it's ridiculous, but figured I would check on here first. I would prefer a vertical over horizontal (like the one in the link) but I'll take what I can get. Beggers can't be choosers.

 

If anyone has a template, or knows how I can go about this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much!

You can easily do this yourself in any document...even Word.

Type in all the guests and put them at a table. Do something easy like Word Art for the letters. Then you can just select all and put it into columns so that it fits one page.

Add a page border and voila!

Take it to Kinkos and have it printed in the size you need to fit the frame.

I could probably handle that, but the fonts in Word just look a little generic for my liking. I guess I'm too picky.

Go online and download new fonts for free.

OR...just create a logo for yourself that you can use on everything to brand your event. Use your names, initials or whatever. Save it as a jpeg and use on everything.

I did one on a free website. I'll look for it and let you know. I actually created the invite on the site but then just did one with only our names and it works great on everything!

This is the link I used. If you just play around with it

IE; just put in your names or just enter the date etc you have a lot of options and can make a nice header for your seating chart. The site has alot of free templates too. Makes our lives MUCH easier.

Hope it helps!

Failed miserably...lol. I did successfully create a logo, but if I print it in a larger size it distorts. The format doesn't look great in Word either. It's not Word it's me. I'm just no good at this stuff.

LOL!! What does it look like? Maybe I can help. Can you post so I can see what you started with?

I actually didn't save it because it just wasn't working. My heading was so big that I never would've fit the rest of it on 1 page. I ended up finding one on zazzle that was about $18 that I can just input my info into. Seems worth it in my situation...lol. Thanks for offering your help though. I appreciate it.
