What it does. Paste your guest list, say how many tables you have and how many seats each table holds. The tool seats everyone and gives you a chart you can print.
How to use Seating Chart Maker
- Paste the guest names, one per line.
- Enter the number of tables and the seats per table.
- Choose to shuffle the guests or keep your order.
- Press Make seating chart. Press Shuffle again for a new arrangement.
- Print the chart or copy it as text.
Tips for better results
- Guests are spread evenly, so no table is left almost empty.
- Use Keep my order if you have already grouped families or friends together in the list.
- Add an event name to put it on the printed chart.
Limits to know about
- The tool does not know who should sit apart or together. Check the result and change the list if needed.
- The tool will not fit more guests than there are seats. It tells you how many seats are missing.
- The chart is a list per table, not a drawing of the room.
