Party seating chart template

Cocktail Party

A cocktail reception, engagement party or corporate mixer: eight high-tops of four spread through the room. Nobody is assigned a seat, but the chart still matters for the planner: it shows the room, the bar and the flow, and it tells the caterer how many high-tops to set.

Seating tips

  • Use the layout to place the bar, food stations and photo spot, not just tables.
  • If the party turns into a seated dinner, switch to the birthday or gala template.
