seating charts
Who sits where
Seating charts are diagrams showing where people are assigned to sit—at a wedding reception, in a classroom, on an airplane.
Teachers use them to learn names and manage behavior.
Event planners use them to prevent feuding relatives from ending up at the same table.
We spent hours on the seating chart trying to keep my divorced parents apart.
