Why use a seating chart

Small party, big family, lots of moving parts

Showers mix grandmothers, coworkers and friends who have never met. A little seating plan makes everyone feel welcome.

The mom-to-be at the center

Give her a comfortable table where everyone can see the gift opening, with her mom and closest friends nearby.

Guests who don’t know each other

Seat coworkers, college friends and family in friendly groups, so no one spends the afternoon alone.

Games, gifts and desserts

Mark the gift table, dessert table and game area on the map, so guests know where everything is.

Both families, every language

The guest page opens in each guest’s phone language: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian or Haitian Creole.

Seating tips

Baby shower seating tips

Easy ideas that make a shower feel warm and well planned.

  1. 1

    Comfort first for the mom-to-be

    A cushioned chair, close to the restrooms and away from drafts. She will thank you.

  2. 2

    Place her where the gifts are

    Seat her next to the gift table and facing the room, so everyone can enjoy the opening.

  3. 3

    Grandmothers up front

    Both grandmothers-to-be love a seat with a view of the mom-to-be and the gifts.

  4. 4

    Mix the groups gently

    Seat each new face with at least one person they know, plus one they should meet.

  5. 5

    Keep games in mind

    If you’re playing games, round tables of 6 to 8 make teams easy.

  6. 6

    Plan for the little ones

    A small kids’ table near their parents keeps everyone relaxed.

FAQ

Baby shower seating chart questions

Do you need a seating chart for a baby shower?

For small, casual showers it’s optional. For 30 guests or more, or when two families and friends mix, a simple seating chart helps everyone settle in quickly and keeps the mom-to-be surrounded by the people she loves.

Where should the mom-to-be sit?

At a comfortable table facing the room, close to the gift table, with her mom and closest friends nearby.

Is Seatella free for a baby shower?

Yes, for showers of up to 30 guests: the Free plan includes one live event, and the printed sign shows a small Seatella mark. For larger showers, a one-time Event Pass is $39 with unlimited guests.

Do guests need an app?

No. Guests scan the QR code with their phone camera and the page opens in the browser. No app and no account.
