Random Seating Chart Generator
Paste your guest list, set the number of tables, and let the wheel decide who sits where. Perfect for weddings, parties, classrooms and events.
About the Seating Chart Generator
Planning who sits where can take longer than choosing the menu. The LetsSpin Seating Chart Generator skips the spreadsheet entirely — paste your guest list, choose how many tables you have, and get a fully randomised seating plan in under a second. It's perfect for weddings, birthdays, corporate dinners, classroom group work, conference workshops and any event where you'd rather let chance break up the cliques. Guests are distributed as evenly as possible across tables using the browser's cryptographically secure random generator, so every shuffle is genuinely fair. You can name each table (Rose, Lily, Oak, Birch — or Table 1, 2, 3) and reshuffle as many times as you like until the layout feels right. When you're happy, copy the plan to your clipboard or print it directly. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and no signup is ever required — just a fast, free seating planner that works on any device.

Tips for a seating chart that actually works
- Separate the known chatters — one rule beats ten complaints
- Mix talkers and listeners at every table for balanced conversation
- For classrooms: regenerate the plan every 4-6 weeks so cliques never settle
- For weddings: use the random plan as your first draft, then adjust the 2-3 seats that really matter
- Always generate the chart in front of the group when fairness is the point — nobody argues with what they saw happen

Frequently asked questions
Is the seating chart truly random?
+
Yes. We use the browser's cryptographically secure window.crypto.getRandomValues() to shuffle guests, so every arrangement is genuinely random and unbiased.
Can I use this for a wedding seating plan?
+
Absolutely. Paste your guest list, set the number of tables, optionally name each table (Rose, Lily, Oak...), and generate a plan. Reshuffle as many times as you like until it feels right.
Do you save my guest list anywhere?
+
No. Everything runs locally in your browser. We never upload, store, or share the names you paste in.
Can I set rules for who sits together?
+
Yes — mark pairs as 'must sit together' or 'keep apart' before generating the chart. The algorithm respects your constraints.
How many people can I seat?
+
You can create seating charts for up to 200 people. Add names one by one or paste a full list.
