What this spreadsheet does
Seating charts built by hand in a slide deck or on paper make it easy to lose track of which tables are already full, especially with last-minute guest changes.
What you can do with it
- Assign confirmed guests to tables after RSVPs close
- Catch an overbooked table before the seating chart is final
- Move a guest between tables and see counts update instantly

Frequently asked questions
Does it warn me if a table has too many guests?
Yes. Each table's Status column automatically shows OVER CAPACITY the moment more guests are assigned than the table's seat count allows.
Can I use any number of tables?
Yes. Add or remove rows on the Table Summary tab to match your actual floor plan.
Does it track meal choices too?
Yes, each guest row includes a meal choice column alongside their table assignment.
