Free Wedding Seating Plan Excel Template
A free Excel template for your wedding seating plan: table capacity, a seating list, empty seat calculation and a summary of over-capacity tables.
A wedding seating plan Excel template is a ready-made spreadsheet that calculates each table's capacity, who sits where and how many seats remain. Biletora's free template comes with 30 tables, extends to 100 tables and highlights over-capacity tables in red. Sheet names and instructions in the file are in Turkish.

What is inside the template?
- How to use: 8 step-by-step instructions.
- Tables: table number, name or group, capacity (10 by default), assigned guests, empty seats and status (empty, seats available, full, over capacity).
- Seating: name, party size, side, group, table number (selected from a dropdown) and note.
- Summary: total tables, total capacity, seated guests, empty seats, over-capacity tables and guests without a table.
How do you prepare a wedding seating plan?
- Start from confirmed RSVPs only.
- Define the tables and enter each table's capacity based on the venue layout.
- List every invitation with its party size, side and group.
- Assign a table from the dropdown and keep families and friend groups together.
- Move guests from red, over-capacity tables to tables with free seats.
- Continue until "guests without a table" on the summary sheet reaches 0.
When should you move to a digital seating plan?
A digital seating plan works on the same list as RSVP replies, blocks assignments that exceed capacity and sends table details to guests by SMS; guests can also find their table with a QR code. See the wedding seating plan app and the free wedding guest list Excel template.
