What is a wedding seating plan on a mirror?

Short answer

A wedding seating plan on a mirror is a display where guest names are written or stuck onto a large mirror surface. It creates a striking reflection effect while showing where each person should sit.

This style uses a full-length or large wall mirror as the base for your seating plan. You write the table names and guest names directly on the glass with a whiteboard marker, or you stick removable labels or decals onto the surface. The mirror reflects the room and the guests, which makes the display look larger and more dramatic.

You can rent a large mirror from a hire company, or borrow one from a friend or family member. Some venues have mirrors already in the room that you can use. If you write on the mirror with a marker, make sure you use a product that wipes off easily so the glass is left clean. Removable labels are a good alternative if you are worried about marks.

Place the mirror where guests can see it clearly when they arrive, but not in a spot where it might get knocked or where it reflects a busy doorway. Check that the mirror is stable and will not fall. If you are unsure about how to attach anything to the glass safely, ask the venue or a professional for advice. This option works well for evening receptions when the lighting can highlight the reflection.
