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.
