No. Open the editor and start. Everything is saved automatically in your browser on this device. Use Project → Download backup file to keep a copy or move to another computer (Restore from backup).

Copy the cells from Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets and paste them into the import box, or upload a CSV. We detect columns such as First/Last name, Party or Household, Group (e.g. “Bride’s family”), Meal and Notes. You can change any column mapping before importing. Excel files: save as CSV first, or just copy and paste the cells.

Guests who share a Party/Household value are treated as one unit and always seated together. Units with the same group tag are placed at the same tables, larger groups first, and tables are filled snugly. Your “keep apart” and “seat together” rules are respected, and the head table is left for you to fill by hand (you can include it if you like). It’s deterministic: the same list and tables always give the same result, so nothing shuffles unexpectedly.

Yes. Drag a guest onto a seat. Dropping onto an occupied seat swaps the two guests. Choose “Only seat unseated guests” when auto-seating to keep the placements you made by hand.

Yes, though it’s designed desktop-first. On a phone, tap a guest and then tap a table or seat to place them. The guest “find your seat” page is built for phones.

No fixed limit. The print layouts automatically fit names to the sign; for very large weddings (250+) we recommend the 24×36 or A1 size, or the alphabetical layout.

Signs: 18×24, 24×36, 16×20 and 11×17 inches, and A1, A2 and A3, portrait or landscape. Escort cards (3.5×2 in, 10 per sheet), tent place cards (3.75×2.5 in folded, 4 per sheet), table numbers (4×6 in, two per sheet, or 5×7 in) and a 5×7 in QR sign, all on US Letter or A4 paper with cut marks. See our sign size guide.

Yes. Paid downloads are vector PDFs with embedded fonts, so text stays crisp at any size. Send the PDF as-is and ask for it to be printed at 100% / actual size.

A matte cardstock around 80–110 lb cover (216–300 gsm) works well in most home printers. Print at 100% (not “fit to page”), cut along the marks, and fold tent cards on the dashed line.

Yes — free preview downloads are watermarked but printable, so you can check sizing and paper before you buy.

After unlocking, press Publish. You get a short link and QR code. Guests scan it, type their name and see their table. If you change the seating, press Update and the same link shows the new chart within about a minute.

Your guest list stays in your browser. We only receive data when you publish a guest page — and then only guest names and table names (never meals, notes or groups). Payment details go to Paddle, never to us. See the Privacy Policy.

$29 once per wedding (plus sales tax/VAT where applicable). No subscription. Everything is free to build and preview.
