How to make a wedding seating plan without stress
7 October 2026 · 5 min read
The seating plan is often the most delicate task. A few rules make it much easier.
- Start from your final RSVP list
- Group guests by circles: family, school friends, work
- Seat children near their parents
- Keep elderly guests away from the speakers

💡 Drag and drop guests onto tables online, and each guest sees their table in their invitation.
