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.

Biletora Event Operations Team

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?

  1. Start from confirmed RSVPs only.
  2. Define the tables and enter each table's capacity based on the venue layout.
  3. List every invitation with its party size, side and group.
  4. Assign a table from the dropdown and keep families and friend groups together.
  5. Move guests from red, over-capacity tables to tables with free seats.
  6. 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.
