Three steps from a guest list to a chart you can share and print.
Pick a template or start blank, then add round, rectangular, banquet, U-shape or head tables. Upload a photo or PDF of the venue floor plan if you have one and place tables on top of it.
Type names, paste a list, or import a CSV. Tag guests by group (family, coworkers, kids, plus-ones) so you can seat them together later.
Drag guests to seats, or click auto-assign and let PlanSeats fill the tables using your tags. Fix the last few by hand, then share the link, print it, or export a PDF.
Tables sit where they will be in the room, at the right size, so the chart doubles as the layout.
Round, rectangular, banquet rows, U-shape, sweetheart and head tables, with the seat count you set.
Bring names in from a spreadsheet or your RSVP list, with tags, meals and notes attached.
One click seats guests by the groups you tag. It respects the seats you have already placed by hand.
Send a view link to the caterer or a co-editor link to your partner or planner. Everyone sees the same live chart.
Export the chart, an alphabetical guest list, and place cards. Printable seating chart signs are in the sign templates gallery.
Guests scan a QR code at the door and see their table on their phone. Changes you make on the day show up instantly.
Head table, sweetheart table, family politics and plus-ones. See the wedding seating chart maker.
Sponsor tables, VIPs, and last-minute swaps handled without a spreadsheet. See corporate event seating.
Smaller rooms, a quick chart, done in ten minutes, and everyone still ends up next to someone they know.
A kids table or a teens section, family tables by household, and a printed chart at the door.
Sponsor tables by tier, board members spread across the room, meal counts by table for the caterer.
A spreadsheet can list who sits where, but it cannot show the room, catch a double-booked seat, or let guests find their table on the day. A design tool like Canva makes a pretty printed chart but you rebuild it after every RSVP change. PlanSeats keeps the guest list, the floor plan and the printed chart in one place, so a change in one updates the others. See how it compares to Canva, Zola and AllSeated.
Yes. PlanSeats has a free plan that covers one event with up to 20 guests and 4 tables, which is enough for a dinner party, a small shower or a trial run. Larger events use the Planner plan at $8.99 a month or $50 one time for unlimited guests and tables on one event. See pricing.
Pick a table layout or upload your floor plan, add or import your guest list, then drag guests onto seats or use auto-assign to seat them by group. When it looks right, share a link with your co-planners, print it, or export a PDF.
Yes. Import a CSV exported from a spreadsheet, or paste names directly. Tags, meal choices and notes come along with each guest, and RSVP status can be tracked inside PlanSeats so the chart only includes people who are coming.
Any event with a seated meal or assigned tables: weddings, rehearsal dinners, galas and fundraisers, corporate dinners and conferences, bar and bat mitzvahs, quinceaneras, birthday parties and showers. You choose the table shapes and the guest groups; there is no wedding-only setup step, so a corporate gala and a 60th birthday use the same tool.
Yes. Export the chart itself, an alphabetical guest list by table, and place cards as a PDF at Letter or A4 size. For a display at the entrance, the sign templates gallery turns the same data into a printable seating chart sign.
Yes. Turn on the QR seat finder and guests scan a code at the door to see their table on their phone. If you move someone during the day, the finder updates within a second, so there is no reprinting.
The engine is the same. The wedding seating chart maker page starts with wedding-specific templates such as head and sweetheart tables and walks through the wedding-only questions: plus-ones, divorced parents, and when the chart needs to be final.

Import your guests, drag them to tables, and share the link.
