Seat confirmed guests, not estimates
Begin table allocation after the main RSVP deadline. Keep a small controlled margin for late operational changes instead of filling tables with guests who have not replied.
- Confirm the usable capacity and layout with the venue
- Place accessibility, elderly and family needs first
- Group guests by relationships while avoiding known conflicts
- Keep children, suppliers and the wedding party in the correct count
Check the room as a guest would
Review sight lines, sound, service routes, entrances and distance to facilities. A mathematically balanced table plan can still be uncomfortable if movement and visibility are ignored.
Share seating privately
Give each guest only their own table, seat or venue section. Keep the full layout with organisers and event staff, and confirm that the displayed plan matches the venue's final floor setup.
