How to use an online wedding table planner to seat 200 guests without losing your mind. Includes seating tips and how to export your floor plan for catering.
Why Excel is no longer enough
Excel-based seating charts lack visual salon layout, can't display dietary restrictions on the map, and generate confusion for catering teams. A visual digital tool changes everything.
The golden rules for wedding seating
1. Honor table faces the altar and dance floor directly 2. Older guests away from speakers (80+ dB) 3. Children near exits for mobility and emergencies 4. Group unknowns by social commonality (college friends, work colleagues) 5. Use Allergy X-Ray Mode to color-code dietary restrictions on the floor plan
How a modern digital table planner works
Import from Excel → Design salon layout → Drag-and-drop guests → System flags conflicts → Export PDF for catering. Final seating must be ready 5 days before the event.
