WEDDING SEATING, SORTED

Everyone gets a seat. Nobody gets a scene.

Seatwell lays out your tables, seats guests a family at a time, and catches the over-full table and the uncles who mustn't share one before anything goes to print.

Free. No sign-up. Your plan stays in your browser.

Head table Table 1 Table 2 Table 3 Table 4 Table 5

A hundred and twenty guests. Eleven tables. Grandma has to be near the head table, the cousins can't be split up, and two of the uncles haven't spoken since 2014. On paper, you find the clash after the cards are printed.

Seatwell finds it the moment you make it.

HOW IT WORKS

Four steps from guest list to place cards.

  1. 1

    Set the tables.

    Add round tables and long ones. They're numbered for you and hold 8 or 10 until you say otherwise.

  2. 2

    Paste in your guests.

    Type a group name, then paste names one per line. "López, Ana" and "Ana López" both work.

  3. 3

    Write the rules.

    Say who must sit together and who must sit apart. Each rule shows Pending, OK or Broken.

  4. 4

    Print the cards.

    Table cards, two to a page, and an alphabetical find-your-seat list for the door.

WHAT IT CATCHES

It notices before you do.

Every change is checked against your tables and your rules straight away, and every warning names the guests and the table involved.

Clashes, in plain words

Not "Error 3". Seatwell tells you who and where, so you know exactly what to move.

Full means full.

Each table shows seated over capacity, with a Full or Over badge and a seat diagram that fills as you go.

Groups, seated in one go.

Seat a whole family at one table with "Seat group at…". Pick a table for anyone left over.

A find-your-seat list that alphabetises properly

Sorted the way guests look for themselves: "álvarez" sits beside "Alvarez", and Grandma is filed under G.

Private by default.

No account and no server. Your plan saves in this browser, and you can export it to a file as a backup.

Works at the venue.

On a phone it switches to a bottom tab bar, so you can move Aunt June at the rehearsal.

TRY IT

This is the real thing. Go ahead and seat someone.

The planner below is the actual app, running in your browser. Add a table, paste a few names, break a rule on purpose.

It's best full screen on a phone.

The fine print

No sign-up.

Open it and start. There's nothing to create, confirm or forget the password to.

Yours to keep.

Export your plan as a file whenever you like, and import it on another computer.

Deliberately small.

It doesn't seat people for you, draw the room, or chase RSVPs. It keeps your tables and rules honest, and that's it.

Start with one table.

The rest of the room comes together from there.
