Seat—every guest.

Bridal table
The main event, set apart.
A dedicated table for the wedding party, styled distinctly so it always reads as the centerpiece — never blends in with the cousins.
- Bridal table styled distinctly from regular tables
- Pre-populated from your wedding party
- Note pills for dietary or special requests
- Always sits top of plan — no scrolling
Bridal Table
Capacity per table
Never overstuff a round.
Set seats per table once. Each table shows live filled/total and turns sage when complete — overflow flagged before it bites.
Capacity per table
Side filtering
Find anyone in a heartbeat.
Filter the unassigned panel by family, friends, university, work — or anything you tagged. Side pills show on every guest card too.
Side filter
Household-aware
Families stay together.
Drag the head of the household — partners, kids and plus-ones move with them automatically. No splitting Aunty Maria from her crew.
The Patel household
Households stay together when you drag — drop one, the rest follow.
Export & print
Day-of ready.
One tap exports a print-ready PDF for your venue, a per-table sheet for your MC, or a flat CSV for the caterer.
Print + export
Pulled from your guest list
Every confirmed guest auto-appears in Unassigned. Add a guest there, the seating plan knows. RSVPs flow in too.
Dietary at a glance
Vegetarian, gluten free, halal, allergy notes — visible on each guest card so you can balance tables.
Live partner sync
Drag a guest, your partner sees the move instantly. Activity feed shows who placed who.
Add a table any time
Set 14 tables to start, add a 15th when grandma brings two extras. No re-doing the plan.

Real seating
Couples who seated everyone in one afternoon.
