Seating plan and place cards

Go to Planning and open Seating plan. It is the same plan on the computer and the phone, updated live. On a large screen you get three panes and Auto-seat; on the phone you drag guests with your finger.

• Seven table shapes, from round to long, square, top table and cocktail table, with 1 to 30 seats and as many tables as you need.
• Name your tables, or use Renumber tables. Add a dance floor, stage, bar and more, or upload a floor plan.
• Drag a guest to a table and they take the next free seat. A reply takes as many seats as the people in it. Move up and Move down change the order in the drawing only.

For each guest you can set Seat with, Seat apart and a group, such as "Bride's family". Conflicts appear under To check. Auto-seat shows a preview first and saves when you press Apply. It never moves guests you seated yourself, never overfills a table and keeps apart those who should sit apart.

Seating chart (PDF) is emailed to you. It contains the floor plan, an alphabetical list for the entrance, the guests at each table, the meal counts, big table numbers and place cards to cut out (ten per A4 page, 90 × 50 mm).

Each place card shows the name, the table and the meal, when everyone in that reply chose the same dish (always for a reply of one). Cards are printed for guests who are coming and have a table.

Press Send seating to guests, then Send to guests. Seated guests who are coming and have an email address get their table name, and their invitation shows Your table. They only see their own table, never the plan. Later sends only reach guests whose table changed.
