How do I make a seating chart with PlanSeats?

Sign up, set up your room, add tables, import or type your guest list, then seat guests by dragging them onto seats or let auto-seat do it. Share the chart with a link and export it when you are done. Most people have a first draft in about ten minutes.

  1. Create an event. Give it a name and a date.
  2. Set up the room. Type its width and height, draw the walls, or upload your venue’s floor plan as an image or PDF.
  3. Add tables. Round or rectangular, with as many seats as each one holds.
  4. Add guests. Import a spreadsheet or add them one at a time. See Can I import my guest list from a spreadsheet?
  5. Seat them. Drag a guest onto a seat, or run auto-seat with your rules and review its preview before it applies.
  6. Share and print. Send a view-only link, invite your partner to edit, and export a PDF for the venue.

Everything saves as you work, and undo takes back the last change.
