Seat Maker workflow
- Step 1Add guests as they confirm, without waiting for a final list.
- Step 2Create the handful of tables the space actually fits.
- Step 3Seat the guests of honor, then group friends who already know each other.
- Step 4Share the plan with whoever is helping you set up.
What to check before you finalize
- Start with the guests of honor, older relatives, children, and anyone who needs easier access before arranging flexible friend groups.
- Match the amount of planning to the event: assigned tables may be enough when exact seats would feel unnecessarily formal.
- Give setup helpers a simple final chart with the same table labels used on decorations, place cards, or buffet instructions.
