How to make a wedding seating chart
Start with confirmed guests, then keep each household together unless someone has asked for a separate arrangement. Add tables with their real capacity, assign the attending people, and leave a little room for last-minute changes. The worksheet is private until you choose to export or share a reviewed plan.
1. Group households
Use the household name to spot couples, families, and guests who should arrive together.
2. Check capacity
Treat the table capacity as a real limit. The planner flags a full table before an assignment is accepted.
3. Review exceptions
Check accessibility, children, and guest requests in the event dashboard before printing the final chart.
Seating chart questions
How many people fit at a wedding table?
Use the venue's confirmed layout rather than a generic rule. Round tables often seat eight to ten, but legroom, meal service, and the table shape can reduce that number.
Should families sit together?
Usually, yes. Keeping a household together makes arrival easier and avoids splitting the people who were invited as one party. Make exceptions only when the host or guests have a clear reason.
Does this publish my guest list?
No. This public worksheet keeps names in your browser tab and does not save them to Galeira. Use the authenticated event seating workspace when you need shared editing or a guest-facing lookup.
