Cómo planificar un plano de asientos para una boda
The wedding reception seating chart is the single piece of paper that decides who eats with whom for three hours. Done well, it puts grandparents near the dance floor, keeps college friends at a table of their own, and gives the photographer clean group shots. Done badly, it strands the bride's coworkers at the kids' table. This free planner does the math, the layout, and the export — you make the call on who sits where.
Comience con una lista de invitados, no con un plano de planta
Most couples start by counting chairs. Start by counting people. List everyone you genuinely want at the wedding, tag each with a group (Family, Friends, Work, VIP, Other), and mark the plus-ones. The total number of seats you need is the sum of every name plus every plus-one — not the headcount on the invitations. The tool tracks this number in the top-right stat: it changes the moment you add or remove a guest.
Grupo, luego asiento
Group tags are how the auto-assign feature works. When you press Auto-Assign, the tool fills seats table-by-table, putting same-group guests together whenever it can. If you have 32 friends and only 28 friend-seats, the extras spill to a mixed table — and the layout shows you the open seats in red so you can decide. Drag any guest to any seat at any time; the floor plan re-renders in real time.
Elige la plantilla adecuada
Classic Reception (8 round tables of 8) is the default because it photographs well and works for most 60–80 guest weddings. Long Banquet (3 long tables of 12) is the family-style trend — better for speeches and shared platters. Intimate (5 rounds of 6 + a sweetheart table) is built for elopement receptions under 40. U-Shape with a head table suits formal weddings with a long receiving line.

Consejos para una excelente distribución de asientos
- Seat elderly guests away from the speakers. The DJ booth and dance floor put out 90+ dB. Put grandparents in the perimeter seats furthest from the speakers and nearest the exit.
- Keep parents near the couple, but not at the head table. The head table is for the couple and the wedding party. Parents get the next-best table — front and center, close to a side door for speeches.
- Don't seat single people next to other single people. Mix singles into couples' tables. They get more conversation and you'll get more thank-you notes.
- Dietary restrictions get a tag, not a sentence. Add "V" for vegetarian, "GF" for gluten-free in the dietary note. The caterer reads the chart; the guests don't.
- Plus-ones count as one seat, not two. If you invited "Sarah +1", that's two seats. The plus-one field on this tool adds a single extra seat, which matches a typical plus-one situation.
- Make a "must-seat-together" list, not a "must-not-seat" list. Couples, immediate family, and best friends need to be at the same table. Everyone else is flexible. The list of "must-not" is longer than the list of "must" — start with the smaller list.
