The hard part of a seating chart is never the software. It is deciding who sits with whom, where the head table goes, and which relatives to keep apart. Those calls are yours. What the tool can do is stop every change from meaning a rebuild.
Start with the top table
Settle the top table first, because it fixes everything nearest the couple. Whether that is a traditional top table, a sweetheart table for two, or both families together, decide it before you place anyone else.
Then work outwards
Closest family nearest, then friends and colleagues in groups who already know each other. A table where nobody knows anybody is worse than an empty seat.
How it works here
- Set the number of tables and name each one
- Choose its colour and seat count
- Seat confirmed guests one seat at a time
- Tap a seat to swap someone without touching the rest
Photos make it faster
The photo each guest sends with their reply shows on their seat. By table twelve you are no longer trying to remember which cousin is which.

Frequently asked questions
How late can I change it?
Up to the day itself. Changes apply immediately and do not disturb the rest of the chart.
Can tables have different numbers of seats?
Yes. Each table has its own name, colour and seat count.
Do unconfirmed guests take seats?
No. Only confirmed guests appear in the seating list.
