BUILD WEBSITEWhen should I start my seating chart?
Most couples finalize seating about two to four weeks before the wedding, after RSVPs are in. Start the layout earlier so you have a head start.
How many guests per table?
Round tables typically seat 8 to 10 guests, while rectangular tables can seat 6 to 12 depending on size. Our tool lets you set capacity per table.
Can I share the chart with my planner?
Yes. Export the layout or share a link so your coordinator, caterer, and venue team can all see the same plan.
Does it work with my guest list?
Your seating chart pulls directly from your guest list. Add a guest in one place and they appear in both, with RSVP status and meal choices included.
