Free printable wedding seating chart template
Prefer to plan your seating with pieces you can move around? Print these tables, cut them out, write a guest on each slip, and lay your wedding out by hand. Free, no sign-up. Just know the paper version has to live somewhere for months, and you reshuffle it every time an RSVP changes. When that gets old, The Table Plan does all of this on screen - and updates itself when your guest list does.
Print the pages
Print the kit below on plain A4 or letter paper. Card stock holds up better if you have it, but paper is fine.
Cut out the pieces
Snip along the dashed lines to free the tables, the top table, the dance floor, and a sheet of guest name slips.
Arrange by hand
Lay the tables on a big sheet of paper, write a guest on each slip, and shuffle everyone around until it feels right.
How many tables will you need?
Work this out before you print, so you know how many copies of the kit to run off. One print gives you six round tables and one long table.
| Guests | Round tables of 10 | Round tables of 8 | Prints of this kit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 5 | 7 | 2 |
| 80 | 8 | 10 | 2 |
| 100 | 10 | 13 | 3 |
| 120 | 12 | 15 | 3 |
| 150 | 15 | 19 | 4 |
The print count assumes tables of eight, so you will never be short. Round up, then add one: a table of ten with six people on it looks emptier than a table of eight with seven, and there is always one more guest than the list said.
Working to a specific number? A seating chart for 50 guests, a chart for 100 and one for 150 each walk through the whole plan at that size.

The top table, banquet tables, and the fixed features of your room. Move them around until the flow feels right.

Guest name slips
Write one guest per slip, cut them out, and drop each onto a table. Shuffle them around as your plans change.
Sheet 4: something for the children to do
Print one per child and put it face-down at their places. Seating a child well solves 4pm; this is for 7pm, when the speeches are over and the adults have started talking again.

Things to spot
Tick them off as you see them. You do not have to leave your chair.

- Somebody wearing a bow tie
- A piece of confetti on the floor
- The cake
- Somebody dancing badly
- Somebody taking a photograph
- The biggest hat in the room
- Somebody crying happy tears
Draw the cake you would have made
Any shape, any number of layers. It does not have to be sensible.
