Event seating planner
Arrange groups around tables while keeping each group together. The layout is a feasible suggestion and may use more tables than a manually optimized arrangement.
Your inputs
Start with the example values, then replace them with your own. For tables, keep the vertical bar separators and use a dot for decimals.
This activity is for entertainment and organizing informal games. Random assignments and entered skill scores do not measure personal worth or guarantee fairness.

How it works
Keep each group together; place larger groups first into the fullest table with enough space. Report groups exceeding capacity.
Worked example
These sample results use the original example inputs in the form. They do not change when you edit your inputs; your own result appears in the workspace.
- Tables needed: 2
- Empty seats: 3
| Table | Groups | People |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Family A, Family B | 6 |
| 2 | Friends | 3 |
Read the result carefully
Results depend on the values and assumptions shown above. Change one input at a time to see its effect. A blank or unavailable result means the data does not support a calculation; it is not zero.
