table assignments

Who sits where

Table assignments are the designated seating arrangements at an event, specifying which guests sit at which tables.

Common at weddings, banquets, and formal dinners, they help organize large gatherings and manage social dynamics: We spent hours on the table assignments, keeping feuding relatives apart.

The term also applies to classroom or office seating plans.
