Seat 300 guests without losing your mind.
A free wedding seating chart that flags the people who shouldn't sit together — and prints two charts for you: one by table for the caterer, one A–Z for your guests.
No payment. Instant download. Works in Microsoft Excel.
Built by Plannful — templates for Microsoft Excel.
A real screenshot. Two guests who shouldn't share a table — caught automatically.
It catches the awkward pairing before your wedding does.
Add the pairs you want kept apart — the exes, the feuding uncles, the ex-business partner. If either of them ends up at the same table, a red warning appears next to both names. Automatically, the moment you type the table number.
Two printable charts, filled in for you.
One sorted by table, with the meal choices — hand it straight to the caterer. One sorted A–Z — the one guests actually read on the way in. You never build them. They fill themselves in as you type.
Nothing to break.
Every cell that calculates is locked. You type names, RSVP, meal and table — the maths, the counts and the warnings take care of themselves.
What you're downloading
Real screenshots, taken in Microsoft Excel. Six sheets: nothing to set up, nothing to configure.

The Excel file — no payment, no waiting.
In Microsoft Excel, and hit Enable Editing.
Name, RSVP, meal, table. That's all.
The two charts. Done.
Questions, answered straight
Do I need Microsoft Excel?
Yes. This template is built for Microsoft Excel (Windows or Mac) and uses formulas that behave differently in other spreadsheet apps. We'd rather tell you now than have it misbehave later.
How many guests does it hold?
Supports up to 200 guests, 20 tables and 30 "do not seat together" pairs. If your wedding is bigger than that, this template isn't the right tool — we'd rather say so now.
Is it really free?
Yes. Leave your email and the download starts on the next page. No card, no trial, no subscription.
Will you email me forever?
No. You may receive occasional emails about using the template and organizing your wedding. Every email includes an unsubscribe link.
What if I need the whole wedding planned, not just the seating?
That's the Wedding Planner Premium: budget, guest list, vendors, timeline, calendar and checklist — 11 sheets in one Excel workbook. Pay once, no subscription.
Ready to organize the rest of the wedding?
Manage your budget, guest list, vendors, timeline, calendar and checklist in one organized Microsoft Excel workbook.
Supports up to 200 guests, 20 tables and 30 “do not seat together” pairs.
