How to Create a Wedding Seating Plan
How to group guests, size the tables, and leave someone unassigned instead of splitting a party.
Updated
Start with the people who need to sit together: a family, a group of friends, or a couple and their plus-one. Give that set a group name. A plus-one takes a seat next to the guest who brought them.
Count seats, not place cards. A table of eight holds eight people, including plus-ones. If a group is larger than every table, do not invent a bigger table. Seat the people who fit and leave the rest unassigned, with a note that says so. If a group would have to be split to fill leftover seats, leave the whole group unassigned.
Round and rectangular tables both work. Name them the way the room will know them. Check the warning when a table has more people than seats. The warning does not silently move anyone.
The free list stays in the browser, and you can download it as JSON. The print pack is a one-time purchase: the chart, a card for each table, and place cards, in A4 and US Letter. After payment you can change the plan for 30 days. The order is then kept until the normal deletion date in the privacy policy.
