Seating guide
How to plan wedding seating
A seating plan comes together faster when you do it in the right order. Here is the short version.
Start with your own table
Decide first whether you sit at a long head table with the wedding party or at a sweetheart table for two. Its size and place in the room shape everything else, so it goes on the plan before anyone else.
Seat family next, close to you
Parents and grandparents usually sit nearest the couple. Give each side of the family its own table or two, and keep older guests away from the speakers and close to the exit.
Divorced or separated parents
Give each parent their own table with their own people, at the same distance from yours. Nobody gets the better spot, and nobody spends the evening making small talk they didn't choose.
Kids
Older children are happiest at a kids' table their parents can see from their seats. Babies and toddlers stay with their parents, so count a high chair as a seat.
Friends and everyone else
Group friends by how they know you: school, work, the team. Then mix a little. A couple who only knows the two of you will have a better night at a table of friendly people than alone at the edge of the room.
Plus-ones and late replies go last
Plus-ones, late RSVPs and guests who fit anywhere fill the empty seats at the end. Keep adjusting until a week before the wedding, then send the venue the final version.
FAQ
Seating chart questions
Is the seating chart maker free?
Yes. You can import your whole guest list, seat up to 50 guests and print the seating plan of your venue for free. Bigger weddings need a paid plan, which you pay for once, with no subscription.
Can I import my guest list from Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. Upload an .xlsx file (in Google Sheets: File → Download → Microsoft Excel), match the columns to first name, last name and dietary needs, and every guest is ready to seat. There is no limit on how many guests you import.
What happens if I have more than 50 guests?
Keep seating. Guests past the 50th still land at their tables, but their names stay hidden until you unlock the plan. Classic seats up to 160 guests and Complete has no limit.
Can I print the seating plan for the venue?
Yes. The seating plan of your venue prints on every plan, including the free one. Paid plans add lists for the venue staff: guests by table and guests A to Z.
Can I see dietary needs on the plan?
Yes. If your spreadsheet has a dietary column, import it with your guests. Turn on dietary labels and each guest's needs show at their seat, so counting meals per table is easy.
Does it work on a phone?
Seating is easiest on a laptop or desktop, where you can see the whole room at once and drag guests between tables.
