How it works

Your guest list. Your floor plan. No spreadsheet theater.

1

Connect your sheet

Point to the Google Sheet you're already keeping. We read your existing columns and sync changes both ways.

2

Lay out the room

Add tables to match your venue. Arrange them until the layout matches the actual space. No math required.

3

Drag guests to tables

Assign people by dragging. Every move is logged. Change your mind a week before? The sheet is live.

4

Print and celebrate

Export a welcome sign and a QR code so guests can look up their own table from their phone.

What's in it

Everything for seating that actually works

Built by people who understand weddings

Seat the Day started as a custom tool for one couple. It's now the seating chart maker we all deserved.

Our story

Two-way Google Sheets sync

Update the sheet, the chart follows. Move someone on the chart, the sheet updates. They're always in sync.

Drag-and-drop floor plan

Move tables with a click. No design skills. Just intuitive movement that matches the actual room.

Guest detail that travels

Meal choices, dietary notes, and wedding-party tags follow each guest. Nothing gets lost.

Dietary flags for catering

Flag guests with allergies or dietary restrictions. Share with your caterer for seamless coordination.

Floor plan landmarks

Add dance floors, bars, cake tables, DJ booths, and restrooms. Give guests context for where to sit.

Change history

Every move is logged. See what changed, when, and by whom. Put it back if you preferred it before.

Seating notes validator

Track guest preferences like "sit with Grace." The app validates each request in real time—green if honored, red if violated.

Works for more than the reception

Rehearsal dinners, galas, conferences, reunions. Anything where people need to know where to sit.

Questions

Answered

How do I make a wedding seating chart?
Start with your final guest list, confirm how many tables your venue fits, then group guests by how they know each other. Seat the Day pulls your guest list straight from your Google Sheet so you skip the typing and start arranging immediately.
Is Seat the Day free?
Yes. You can build a complete seating chart for free with no account and no credit card, for up to 5 tables. Need more? Unlock unlimited tables for a one-time $14 fee per wedding.
Does it work with my existing Google Sheet?
It does. Connect the guest list spreadsheet you already keep and Seat the Day reads your existing columns for names, meal choices, and plus-ones. Edits sync both ways.
How many guests can I seat?
There is no guest limit, though Seat the Day is designed around the 50 to 200 guest weddings most couples plan, where a spreadsheet stops being manageable but full event software is overkill.
Can I print my seating chart?
Yes. Export a large-format PDF for a welcome sign. You can also generate a QR code so guests look up their own table from their phone.
What if my guest list changes at the last minute?
Update the row in your Google Sheet and the chart updates itself. If you're using the QR seat finder, guests see the new assignment immediately with nothing to reprint.
