Seat them straight from the RSVPs
In letsparty, the seating chart fills itself: everyone who said yes, by name, with each household together (and the kids at their own table if you like). When it’s set, each guest sees their table on their own invite, and you print the same chart and the A-to-Z list for the door.
How to make a seating chart
- Wait for most RSVPs. Seat the people who are coming, not the whole invite list.
- Ask the venue for its tables. The number of tables and seats at each one sets everything else.
- Place the important tables first: the couple or the guest of honor, their parents and grandparents, and anyone who needs to be near the door or away from the speakers.
- Seat groups together: each family, the college friends, the coworkers. Mix only where someone knows a person at the table.
- Check the numbers: no table over its seats, nobody left in the waiting list, and the kids near their parents.

Questions
How many guests fit at a table?
As a rule of thumb, a 60-inch round table seats 8 comfortably and 10 snugly, a 72-inch round seats 10 to 12, and a 6-foot rectangle seats 6 to 8 (more with someone at each end). Ask your venue which tables they have before you plan.
When should I make the seating chart?
Start once most RSVPs are in, and finish it a week or two before the day, so the venue and your stationer get final numbers in time. Leave room for the late yeses.
Do kids get their own table?
Often, once they’re old enough to sit without a parent: a kids’ table near their families keeps everyone happy. Keep little ones with their parents.
