Why Sweet 16s are different

Two parties in one room: her friends and the family

Teens want to be together near the music; grandparents want to hear each other. A good seating chart gives both.

Her friends sit together

Group school friends, teammates and cousins at tables close to the dance floor, so the energy stays up all night.

Family in a calmer spot

Seat parents, grandparents and family friends a little away from the speakers, with an easy path to the entrance.

A court and a candle ceremony

Give the birthday girl and her court their own table. Seat the 16 people in her candle ceremony where they can get up easily.

Easy for every age

Teens scan a QR code without thinking twice. Grandparents get the page in their own language with one tap.

Seating tips

Sweet 16 seating tips

Simple rules that keep both the teens and the grown-ups happy.

  1. 1

    Start with the birthday table

    Place her table first, facing the room and close to the dance floor. Everything else is arranged around it.

  2. 2

    Friends near the music

    Put her friends’ tables between her table and the dance floor. They will spend most of the night there anyway.

  3. 3

    Keep friend groups whole

    School, team and neighborhood friends each want their own table. Mixing groups works best with a few connectors.

  4. 4

    Grandparents away from the speakers

    Seat older guests farther from the DJ, with good sight of the cake and the candle ceremony.

  5. 5

    Parents with a view

    Parents and godparents like a table where they can see the floor and keep an eye on everything.

  6. 6

    Leave room for plus-ones

    Teens often bring a friend at the last minute. Keep a seat or two free and add them in seconds.

FAQ

Sweet 16 seating chart questions

Start with the venue’s floor plan and place the birthday girl’s table first. Seat her friends nearby, close to the dance floor, and give family their own tables a little farther from the music. Seatella lets you do it all online and share it with one QR code.

Who sits at the Sweet 16 head table?

Usually the birthday girl with her closest friends or her court. Some families seat the parents there too; others give them the table right next to it.

Can I import the guest list from a spreadsheet?

Yes. Upload an Excel or CSV file, or paste a list of names. Seatella reads party sizes and keeps groups together.
