How to make a quinceañera seating chart
- Set up the hall. Start from the example (a head table for the court, a dance floor and ten round tables) or blank.
- Seat the court. Put the quinceañera in the middle of the head table, with her damas and chambelanes on either side.
- Add the families. Paste the guest list with each family as a group; parents, grandparents and padrinos get the closest table.
- Seat everyone. Press Smart arrange: families stay together. Drag anyone you want closer to the dance floor.
- Print it. Download the PDF, make the sign for the entrance, and print table numbers and place cards.
The chart above is Valentina’s quinceañera for 115: Valentina in the middle of the head table with seven damas and seven chambelanes, the dance floor in front of them, and ten round tables of 10. Her parents, grandparents and padrinos sit at table 1, closest to her. Press Use this layout to keep the hall and clear the example names.
Who sits where at a quinceañera
- The quinceañera in the center of the head table, facing the guests.
- The court: damas and chambelanes on either side of her, or at the next table.
- Parents, grandparents and padrinos at the closest table, for the waltz and the toasts.
- Families together, with older relatives nearer the front and young cousins near the dance floor.
Layout
Keep the dance floor in front of the head table for the waltz and the surprise dance, the cake where everyone can see it, and a clear path from the entrance for the grand entrance. Round tables of 8 or 10 fit most halls; the chart is drawn to scale, so you can check the room before the day.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the quinceañera sit?
In the middle of the head table, facing the guests, with her court around her: damas on one side, chambelanes on the other. Some families use a single decorated chair or a small table for her instead.
Where do the parents and padrinos sit?
At the table closest to the head table and the dance floor, so they are near her for the waltz, the toast and the ceremonies.
How many guests per table at a quinceañera?
Usually 8 or 10 at round tables. 115 guests fit at ten tables of 10, with the court at the head table.
Does the court need its own table?
Usually, yes: a head table or two tables either side of the quinceañera. If the court is large, put the damas and chambelanes at a table next to hers.
Does it work for a sweet 16?
Yes. Use the same layout: the birthday girl or boy at a head table with close friends, family nearby, and a dance floor in the middle.
