Wedding Seating Chart
The seating chart is the last, most stressful part of planning. Zovni.me pulls confirmed guests straight from your RSVP, groups families and friends, respects the pairs who shouldn't sit together, and drafts a first plan — you just fine-tune it by dragging guests between tables.
Rules for a good seating chart
Keep couples and immediate family together
Keep groups together, even if a table isn't full.
Mix, but not blindly
Every guest should know at least two other people at their table.
Seat kids near their parents
Ideally one table close to the exit and the kids' menu.
Keep older guests away from the speakers
Closer to the entrance and restrooms, farther from the band.
Flag conflicts ahead of time
Exes, feuding relatives, rival family camps — never at the same table.
Leave a 5% buffer
Someone who didn't RSVP always shows up.
Frequently asked questions
- How many guests fit at one round table?
- A 180 cm round table comfortably seats 8 to 10 people. For long tables, plan on roughly 60 cm per guest per side.
- How do I handle guests who can't sit together?
- Flag them as a conflict. Zovni.me won't let them land at the same table and suggests a swap that doesn't split up couples.
- When should I put together the seating chart?
- Once your RSVP closes, usually 2 to 3 weeks before the wedding. Until then, sketch a rough plan by guest group.
- Can I send the seating chart to my caterer?
- Yes — export a table-by-table list with headcounts and meal choices in a format your caterer can use right away.
