Wedding reception seating

Wedding reception seating is the dinner chart — who sits with whom once speeches and plates start. Build tables, assign guests, export for the coordinator. Ceremony rows are a different page. If search results showed inspo boards, use those for signage. Use this for assignments.

Seating tools help you arrange guests — not a venue floor-plan CAD service or a wedding planner contract.

When to use — and when not to

When to use

Invites are out; you need the meal chart; family sides need visible tables without a cold war.

When not to

Ceremony pew plan → ceremony page. Still cutting the list → guest list howto.

Assumptions

Reception dining default. Head/sweetheart tables are labeled table objects.

Worked examples

Input: 120 reception guests; 12 tables of 10.

Output: filled reception chart.

Vendor meals often off-chart — confirm.

Input: college friends table + two family-heavy tables.

Output: labeled tables; politics contained.

You owe people chairs, not perfect energy.

How it works

Import or type the reception guest list.
Create dinner tables.
Assign seats; clear unassigned.
Export by-table and A–Z if the door needs it.

Common traps

Reception seating ≠ ceremony seating.
Open reception seating still needs meal counts.
Display board can be A–Z while kitchen wants by table.
Late RSVPs after print → reprint with a new date.
