Who sits where
A seating plan is a diagram or list showing where people are assigned to sit at an event, in a classroom, on an aircraft, or in any other arranged space.
Wedding receptions and formal dinners often require elaborate seating plans to manage social dynamics and ensure compatible guests share tables.
