In short
A seating chart is only as good as the guest list underneath it, which is why doing it on paper goes wrong — every late decline means redrawing. Wedyesday's seating planner works off the same guest list your RSVPs feed, so a guest who declines stops occupying a seat, and you arrange tables against numbers that are actually current.

What it does
One source of truth for who's coming
Tables are built from the guest list your RSVPs update, so you're never seating someone who pulled out three weeks ago.
Households stay together by default
People arrive as the groups they replied as, so you're moving families rather than reassembling them one name at a time.
Do it at the right moment
Your checklist deliberately places the seating sketch after most RSVPs land. Starting earlier just means doing it twice.
Change it without starting over
Layouts, tables and seats are all editable right up to the week of, because they will change.
Four questions to set up your plan, and your seating chart builds off the guest list you already have — tables, seats, and the people who can't sit together.
How to use it
- 01
Answer four questions
Your names, when, where, and roughly how many. Budget and priorities are skipped — you can set them later.
- 02
Build the guest list
Add guests as households, then send one RSVP link so replies and meal choices land against the right person.
- 03
Wait for the replies
Your checklist has the seating task dated after the invitation task, which is the only order that saves you work.
- 04
Lay out the room
Create your tables and seat your guests, adjusting as the last few replies come in.
Your wizard is already set up for this
Start from this page and we'll skip the questions this already answers:
- Budget left open — you can set it later in the budget tracker
- Standard priorities, which you can change once you're in
Nothing is locked — every pre-filled answer is editable, and there's a one-tap option to answer all seven questions yourself instead.
Questions couples ask
When should we do the seating chart?
Once most RSVPs are in — typically the last month. Doing it before replies land means doing it twice, which is why the checklist dates it after invitations.
Does the seating planner use our RSVPs?
Yes. It works off the same guest list your RSVPs update, so declines and late acceptances are reflected rather than tracked separately.
Is the seating planner free?
Yes, along with the guest list, RSVPs, checklist, budget and wedding website. No card to start.
