Seating plan for a first communion

A first communion brings two generations into the same room: children who never stop and adults who want to talk. With well-thought-out tables, the lunch goes better for everyone.

Step by step

  1. List with ages

    Note who is a child and who is an adult. The children’s table depends on that number.

  2. The communicant’s table

    Reserve a table for the communicant, the parents, the godparents and the closest grandparents.

  3. The children’s table

    If lots of children are coming, a table of their own, with an adult nearby, gives the parents some freedom and the room some peace.

  4. Families and friends

    Put people who know each other together. Catechism classmates and their parents sit well together.

  5. Move it into Seatalia

    Choose “First communion” and the room comes with a communicant’s table and a children’s table.

Menu and timings

Ask the venue whether the children can be served first, so they don’t wait for the adults’ meal. If the cake and the singing come early, put the children’s table near where the cake is.

And when the party is at home?

Even at home or somewhere with little space, it helps to know how many seats there are per table. The calculator shows how many tables you need for your list.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a table just for the children?

No, but it helps when there are many. If only a few are coming, seat them with their parents.

Do small children sit at their parents’ table?

Yes, if that’s what you prefer. The important thing is to count them on the list so you have the right number of seats.
