This is extremely helpful. Planning went so much faster than expected

It was important that we could visualize where our older guests would be sitting. Nana Maureen will love her spot

How it works

Three steps. No importing, no retyping.

  1. 1

    Connect your Sheet

    Pick the guest list you already keep. Names, groups, meal choices and notes come across as they are.

  2. 2

    Seat your guests

    Lay out the room you booked, drag guests to tables, and watch notes like “sit with Grace” turn green when they’re honored.

  3. 3

    Hand it off

    Print the chart for the venue and the place cards for the tables, give guests a QR code to find their table, and send counts to the caterer.

Only at Seat the Day

What your photographer gets.

Nana Maureen is in one shot for forty seconds. Who’s Who is how she gets found in a room of 120 people, and how the mother of the bride is told apart from her sister.

  • A shot list for the whole celebration, with the must-gets starred.
  • Every shot shows which tables its people are at.
  • A printable face sheet: name, who they are to you, table, and how many shots they’re in.

Catering

Meal counts that include the people you forgot to count.

Counts come from the list, not from how much of the seating you’ve finished, and include the vendors your contracts say you feed.

Place & escort cards

Place cards printed from the chart, not retyped from it.

Name, table and meal for every guest, laid out for Avery card stock. Pick a font, and show each meal as a name or as the same icon the kitchen’s sheet uses.

Plan together

Your partner and your planner, in the same wedding.

Invite two people. They sign in as themselves, see everything you see, and only change what you let them. You stay the one who decides.

What’s in it

Built for the 50 to 200 guest wedding

Two-way Google Sheets sync

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

Seating notes validator

Track requests like “sit with Grace” or “not near the band.” Each one is checked in real time — green if honored, red if broken.

Round, banquet and head tables

Rounds, banquet tables, a king’s table or a head table facing the room. Set the seats on each side and the chart draws the table you actually have.

Dietary flags for catering

Allergies and meal choices ride along with each guest and print on the sheet your caterer gets, each meal with its own icon.

Change history

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

One-click guest groups

Put the whole wedding party or all of your family into a shot with one chip. Add someone to that group later and they appear automatically.

Plus the basics: drag-and-drop floor plan with dance floor, bar and DJ · QR seat finder for guests · print or save as PDF.

Questions

Answered

Is Seat the Day free?
Yes. You can build a complete seating chart for free with no credit card, for up to 5 tables. You sign in with Google to get started. 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.
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.
Can I print my seating chart?
Yes, on the free plan, with a light watermark that unlocking removes. Print it, or save it as a PDF from your browser's print dialog for a large-format welcome sign. You can also generate a QR code so guests look up their own table from their phone.
What does my photographer actually get?
Two things, both printable. A running order of every shot you want, with the people in each one and the tables they are sitting at. And Who's Who: a face-reference sheet naming each person, who they are to you, and where to find them.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If Seat the Day isn't right for you, you can get a full refund within 7 days of purchase, as long as it's before your wedding date. Email support@seattheday.com or use our contact form to request one.
What can Seat the Day see in my Google account?
When you sign in with Google, Seat the Day gets your name and email address. It can't see your Drive, Gmail, calendar or contacts. It can only open a Google Sheet you choose to share with its sync address, and it loses access to that sheet as soon as you stop sharing it.
