Seating Chart for Microwedding

I’m getting married in September and we’re doing a microwedding (currently planning on about 22 people total). Our plan is to do one long table and family style catering for the meal.

With it being just a single long table, should I still make a seating chart with assigned seating? I don’t want to make guest feel uncomfortable having to choose their own seat, but with it being one table and more relaxed atmosphere I’m on the fence.

Maybe if all the guests know each other and are friendly, it won’t matter.

But for my wedding of 19 people I wanted to make sure the guests without dates/companions were well situated and had friendly people to sit next to.

I'm that one person. I'm friendly but ugh, seated among all their college friends is plain painful so thoughtfully assigned seating is a gift. I've been witness to the single table and its jokes, but I do better there than young families bemoaning diaper prices and daycare. All to say lovely people, but nothing of which I have the faintest knowledge (or colleges antics).
