How it works
- Set out the room. Round, long and head tables, a dance floor, a stage, the bar and the door. Drag them into place; they line up and never land on each other.
- Seat your guests. Paste the list with families and groups as parties, then drag guests or whole parties onto tables, or let auto-seat spread them evenly.
- Print the plan. The room chart, a card for each table and a find-your-table list, on A4 or Letter, or save them as a PDF.
Wedding seating, the decisions that matter
- Head table or sweetheart table: a long head table seats the wedding party facing the room; a sweetheart table for two lets the wedding party sit with their own partners, which many guests prefer.
- Seat each set of parents at a table near yours, with the grandparents and the people they know best, away from the speakers and the band.
- Paste each family and friend group as a party ("Reyes family:" on its own line). Auto-seat keeps a party at one table and only splits it when no table is big enough.
- Plus-ones sit with their partner, so put them in the same party. Guests who know no one do best at a table of friendly talkers, not at the "leftovers" table.
- Escort cards or a find-your-table list at the door tell guests their table; place cards on the table tell them their seat. This tool prints the list, a card for each table and the room chart, so you can skip individual seats if you don't need them.
- Finish the plan after the RSVP date, then print. Late changes are a drag and a re-print, not a redo.
A wedding plan in four steps
- Set the room: the sweetheart or head table, how many round tables of 8 or 10, the dance floor, the band and the bar.
- Paste the guest list with families as parties, and seat the families you have firm ideas about by dragging the party name onto a table.
- Auto-seat the rest. It spreads guests evenly so no table is crammed while another sits half empty.
- Print the room chart for the planner and the venue, table cards for each table, and the alphabetical find-your-table list for the entrance.

Questions
Is the seating chart maker free?
Free to start, with no sign-up: plan and print up to 30 guests at 4 tables, with the room chart on one sheet and a card for each table. Bigger plans, keep-apart rules for auto-seat, the alphabetical find-your-table list and 2 × 2 or 3 × 3 posters use a single one-off unlock that covers every OneJob tool. It is not a subscription, and you can have a refund within 14 days.
Are my guest names uploaded?
No. The plan is made in your browser and guest names never leave your device. If you leave "Remember this plan" ticked, the plan is saved in this browser only, so it is here next time; untick it and the saved copy is deleted. No tracking cookies; one functional cookie keeps your unlock.
How do I add my guest list?
Press "Edit or paste guest list" and paste one name per line, from a document or a spreadsheet column. Put a party name on its own line ending in a colon ("Moreau family:") and the names under it, with a blank line after the party; or write the party in brackets after a name, "Jo Lee (Lee family)", or paste two spreadsheet columns, name and party. Guests already on the list keep their seats.
How does auto-seat work?
Auto-seat seats everyone without a seat and keeps everyone you placed. Each party sits together, beside any of its members already seated, and guests are spread evenly across the tables rather than filling one table before the next. A party is split only when no table has room for all of it, and head tables are filled last. With the unlock it also keeps apart any pairs you mark.
Can I seat guests without dragging, on a phone or with a keyboard?
Yes. Tap or select a guest (or a party name) in the list, then tap a table, or pick the table from the "Seat at" list and press Seat. Pinch or use the + and − buttons to zoom, and drag the empty floor to move around. With a keyboard, Tab to a table and use the arrow keys to move it.
What can I print?
The room chart (a map of the room with every table and its guests) on one sheet, a card for each table listing who sits there, two to a sheet, and with the unlock an alphabetical find-your-table list for the entrance and the room chart as a 2 × 2 or 3 × 3 poster tiled across A4 or Letter sheets. Press "Print or save as PDF", and turn off the browser's headers and footers for the cleanest result.
How do I put the poster together?
Each sheet has corner marks and a label such as "Row 1, column 2". Trim each sheet along its marks and tape the sheets edge to edge in that order. Names are kept whole on one sheet, never split across a join.
Will I be charged again?
No. The unlock is a single payment with nothing to cancel, and it covers every seating plan after this one and every other OneJob tool. It is saved in your browser. No tracking cookies; one functional cookie keeps your unlock.
