Seat Maker workflow

  1. Step 1Import the guest list once RSVPs are mostly in.
  2. Step 2Set the head or sweetheart table, then add reception tables to match the room.
  3. Step 3Seat parents, the wedding party, and honored guests first, and lock those seats.
  4. Step 4Fill the remaining tables from real friend and family groups, then send the chart to the venue.

What to check before you finalize

  • Confirm the venue's final table count and whether the couple will use a sweetheart table, head table, or family table before placing guests.
  • Resolve parents, wedding party dates, accessibility needs, children, and sensitive family relationships before filling flexible reception seats.
  • Compare the exported chart with the final RSVP list and venue labels, then give one named person responsibility for later changes.
