Assign wedding table seating

The wedding table seating API takes a guest list — each guest with an optional group affiliation such as a family branch or a circle of friends — and a table size, and returns a complete table plan.

Use it from WebAPIEmailTelegramApp soon

Guests who belong to the same group are seated at the same table whenever they fit, larger groups are placed first so they are not stranded by fragmented free seats, and any group that simply cannot fit at one table is reported as an error instead of being silently split. The result is a deterministic, ready-to-print seating chart.

How to use it

Enter your values in the form above. The tool checks them before calculating and shows the result on the same page.

Check your inputs

Use the labels and units shown next to each field. If something is missing or outside the allowed range, the page points to the field to fix.

Use it again or automate it

Use the browser tool for individual checks and the API when you need the same capability in an automated workflow.

What you can do with it

Get an answer now

Enter one set of values and see the result without building a spreadsheet or script.

Compare scenarios

Change one value at a time and rerun the calculation to understand what affects the result.

Automate repeated work

Use the API when the same calculation needs to run inside your product or workflow.

For developers — API access

Everything on this page is available programmatically. This section is for teams who want to wire it into their own systems; everyone else can just use the tool above.

API endpoint

POSThttps://api.kit.forhosting.com/life/wedding-guest-seating

Prefer to automate it? One authenticated POST creates the task; the result comes back by webhook or a signed link. The same capability also runs here on the web, by email and from Telegram — and soon from our app too.
