Frequently asked questions

Common questions about the seating chart

How do you make a wedding seating chart? +

In WeMarry you import guests from RSVP, lay out the tables and drag guests into their seats. Then you print the finished plan or save it as a PDF. No paper, no redrawing.

How should you seat guests at a wedding? +

It works well to seat people who know each other or share interests together, and to keep family sensitivities in mind. With drag & drop you can try variations until every table feels right.

Where do the newlyweds and close family sit? +

The couple sits at the head of the main table facing the room, with the bride on the groom's right. The bride's mother and then her father usually sit beside the groom, and the groom's parents beside the bride, followed by the witnesses and close family. It is a custom rather than a rule, and more relaxed weddings often skip it.

How do you seat divorced parents? +

Do not seat divorced parents next to each other. It works well to give each of them their own table with their own people, both the same distance from the head table so neither feels pushed aside. Treat a parent's new partner as an ordinary guest and seat them together.

Is the seating chart free? +

You can lay out the tables and seat guests in a free account. Saving the seating chart with guests filled in from RSVP comes with the Medium and Premium plans, paid once when you publish the site. You can then come back and change the plan right up to the wedding day.

How many guests fit at one table? +

A round table usually takes 8–10 guests; for a rectangular one it depends on the length. In the tool you set the number of chairs per table yourself.

Is the seating chart linked to the guest list? +

Yes. The seating chart is connected to the RSVP answers from your wedding website, so you always work with the current number of confirmed guests.
