Baby shower seating chart
Baby shower seating that gets the family right
Family on one side, work friends on the other, mom-to-be at the centre. Drag, drop, print — done before the diaper cake arrives.
A baby shower seating chart assigns guests to tables at a celebration for an expectant parent. SeatPlan.io supports drag-and-drop layouts, family/friend grouping, dietary tracking for catered showers, and printable PDFs for the venue or host's home.
Three steps. That's it.
Built for the people doing the work, not the people selling the software.
1. Drop in the tables
Round tables for a sit-down lunch, long rectangles for family-style, or a single horseshoe for an intimate shower. Pick what matches the room.
2. Group your guests
Tag by group (mom's family, partner's family, work friends, college friends). Place the mom-to-be where she can see everyone.
3. Print and celebrate
PDF for the venue, Excel for the caterer, simple place cards. Done in 15 minutes.
