Seating

Wedding tables and keep-together groups

Wedding mode in the launch editor assigns people to tables with capacities. Keep-together means the same table. Keep-apart means not the same table. A locked person stays at the table you locked.

A sample reception uses four tables: 4 seats, 3 seats, 3 seats, and 2 seats. That is 12 seats. The diagram is not a floor plan and it is not a fire-code or accessibility review.

Groups have to fit the chairs

A keep-together group of 3 fits table 2 or table 3, and it also fits table 1 with one seat left. It does not fit table 4. When every table has 2 seats, the editor says a keep-together group of 3 is larger than every table, and it does not export that layout. You can split the rule, enlarge a table, or add a table.

Two people can share a display name if their internal ids differ. Both still need seats. The sample on this page uses table sizes only, not guest names.

Open the editor when you have a list

Guest entry, imports, and exports stay on the seating site. This page does not pass a guest list in the link. Check the arrangement before you print it. A saved project on a shared browser can still hold names until you delete it.

Common questions

Can a group of three share a two-person table?

No. Keep-together requires a table with enough seats. Two tables of 2 do not satisfy a group of 3.

Does this page store guest names?

No. There is no guest field here. Names are entered only after you open the seating editor.
