Why it is hard

A spreadsheet cannot show the room.

Excel sorts names. It cannot show who sits next to the speakers, or that Table 4 is too close to the kitchen. A late plus-one should be moving a seat, not a night of dragging text boxes.

Feature 01

Families, head table, and the venue layout

Start from a wedding template or build the room: rounds for dinner, a sweetheart or head table, dance floor, bar, and cake table.

  • Guest groups so families and friend circles stay at the same table
  • Auto-assign that balances groups across tables
  • Dietary requirements and comments on each guest
  • Shareable view and edit links for the couple, parents, and planner

How it works

How to build a wedding seating plan

01

Place tables

Add tables to match the venue: round dinner tables plus a head table or sweetheart table.

02

Import and group guests

Import the guest list. Tag families and friend groups so you can find them later.

03

Seat VIPs, then the rest

Seat households that must sit together first, then auto-assign the rest and tidy leftovers.

04

Send the plan to the venue

Share a link with your planner, or export a printout and QR code for the welcome table.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I keep families at the same table?

Yes. Put guests in a group, then seat the group together or let auto-assign prefer tables with space for the whole group.

Can I start from a wedding template?

Yes. Templates give you a typical reception layout — rounds, dance floor, stage — so you are not placing every table from scratch.

Can I set a sweetheart or head table?

Yes. Place a long table or head table, seat those guests first, then fill the rounds around it.

Can my planner edit the same file?

Yes. Send an edit link. You both see tables and assignments update in one project.
