Seating Chart Maker

Assign guests to tables at random for a wedding, dinner, classroom, or event: paste the names, set the number of tables, and shuffle.

About Seating Chart Maker

A seating chart assigns each guest to a table. This maker shuffles the guest list with the cryptographic random generator in your browser and deals the names out one table at a time, so table sizes differ by at most one person. Turn shuffling off to fill tables in list order. It does not handle rules such as keeping couples together, so adjust the list by hand for those cases.

How to use Seating Chart Maker

  1. Type or paste into the "Guest names (one per line)" box, or press "Use example" to try it with sample data.
  2. Set "Number of tables" and "Keep list order" if the defaults do not fit.
  3. The result appears below. Press "Shuffle seats" for a new one.
  4. Copy the result with the copy button, or download it as a file where that is offered.

Questions about Seating Chart Maker

How do I keep certain guests at the same table?

Put the group on one line, for example "Ava and Noah". The maker treats each line as one unit and seats it together. Table sizes are then counted in lines, so check the head count afterwards.
