The Old Way

Seating charts should not take three days and four printed versions.

Sticky Notes & Spreadsheets

You start with a spreadsheet, add sticky notes, move names around for hours, and accidentally delete a row. One wrong sort and Aunt Margaret is sitting with her ex-husband. The version on your screen is never the same as the one you printed.

Difficult Guests

Family dynamics, divorced parents, feuding cousins, the uncle who cannot sit near the bar. You know the constraints — but keeping track of every rule while filling tables is a mental puzzle that grows with every guest.

Endless Reprints

You print the seating chart. Then a guest confirms late. You reprint. Then someone cancels. You reprint again. By the day of the event, you have five versions and no idea which one is correct.

Late Confirmations

Half your guests confirm the week of the wedding. You cannot finalize tables until you know who is coming — but the caterer needs the final headcount yesterday. You are stuck between waiting and guessing.

No Sync with RSVPs

Your RSVP list lives in one place, your seating chart in another. Every time a guest confirms, declines, or changes their plus-one, you manually update both. Miss one update and a table has an empty seat — or an extra guest.

There is a visual, drag-and-drop way to seat your wedding.

How It Works

From guest list to seating chart in four simple steps

No paper, no sticky notes, no reprints — just drag, drop, and done.

Import your guest list

Start with your existing Guestylist guest list — or import from Excel in seconds. Every guest, plus-one, and group is already there, with RSVP status updated in real time as confirmations come in.

Create your tables

Set up your tables in seconds: choose the shape (round, square, rectangle), name them, and set capacities. Your floor plan mirrors your venue layout — so you see exactly how the room comes together.

Drag guests to tables

Drag and drop guests onto tables with your mouse or finger. See capacities fill up in real time, spot incomplete tables instantly, and rearrange as many times as you need — no starting over, no reprints.

Finalize and share

When you are ready, lock your seating chart. It stays in sync with your guest list — if a guest confirms or declines late, the seating chart updates automatically. No more manual reconciliation.

Everything you need to plan your wedding seating — and beyond

Drag & Drop Seating

Drag guests onto tables with your mouse or finger. Move them around freely, see capacities update in real time, and rearrange as many times as you need. No sticky notes, no printed drafts, no starting over — just a visual, tactile seating planner that works the way you think.

Visual Floor Plan

Your tables appear on a visual floor plan that mirrors your venue. Round, square, or rectangular tables — position them, size them, and see the full layout at a glance. You always know exactly how the room looks, not just a list of names on a page.

[Screenshot placeholder]

Guest Groups & Sides

Organize guests by group — family, friends, coworkers — or by side of the couple. Filter by side to balance tables, see who sits where at a glance, and make sure both families are represented at every table. No more mental gymnastics.

[Screenshot placeholder]

Capacity Tracking

Every table shows its current count and maximum capacity in real time. Incomplete tables are highlighted instantly, so you can spot a table of 6 at a 10-top and fix it with a drag. Never deliver an unbalanced seating chart to your venue again.

Instant Guest Search

Have 200 guests and need to find one? Search by name and jump straight to their table — or see that they are unassigned. No scrolling, no scanning, no losing track of who is where. Every guest is one search away.

[Screenshot placeholder]

RSVP Sync

Your seating chart is connected to your RSVP list in real time. When a guest confirms, their seat is ready. When a guest declines, their seat frees up automatically. No manual updates, no mismatches, no empty chairs on the day.

[Screenshot placeholder]

Last-Minute Changes

A guest confirms the night before? A plus-one changes at the last minute? No problem. Drag them to a table in seconds — no reprint, no panic. Your seating chart is always current, even as guests change their minds.

[Screenshot placeholder]

Export & Print

Export your final seating chart to share with your venue, caterer, or day-of coordinator. Print a clean, professional version — one copy, always correct, because it is generated from the same data you have been working with all along.

The result, not just the software

Save hours of planning

What used to take three days of sticky notes and spreadsheets now takes minutes. Drag, drop, rearrange — and your seating chart is done.

No more mistakes

No accidental double-seats, no empty chairs, no ex-spouses at the same table. The system tracks every guest, every constraint, every capacity — so you do not have to.

Always in sync

RSVP changes flow automatically into your seating chart. A guest confirms late? Their seat is ready. A guest cancels? The chair disappears. No manual reconciliation, ever.

See the whole room

A visual floor plan shows every table, every guest, every gap. You see the room as your guests will experience it — not just a list of names on a page.

Professional output

Deliver a clean, polished seating chart to your venue and caterer. One version, always correct, always current — because it is generated from the same data you have been working with all along.
