Seating chart
Maria and Alex at Table 02 — away from the kitchen door.
Shot list
14 must-get photos, grouped by moment and named guest.
Who's Who
8 faces your photographer should know on sight.
Change the list once — all three follow.
Point to the Google Sheet you're already keeping, or start a fresh one. Names, sides, groups, dietary notes — it all lives in one place and syncs both ways.
Add tables to match your venue and drag guests into seats. "Sit with Grace, not with Dwyer" gets checked as you go.
Every photo you want, from the rehearsal dinner to the after party. Add one guest at a time, or a whole group in a single click.
Print a face sheet so your photographer knows Nana Maureen from the mother of the bride. Built from your shot list — nothing extra to maintain.
You keep one list. Each module reads what it needs from it and writes back what it learns, so the list stays the thing you trust.
Where everyone sits, and who they sit with. Drag guests onto tables, arrange the room to match the venue, and let free-text notes like “sit with Grace” get checked in real time.
Every photo you want, from the rehearsal dinner to the after party. Add people one at a time or a whole group in a click, star the must-gets, and lock it before the day.
The faces your photographer needs to recognize. Nana Maureen is in one shot for forty seconds — this is how she gets found in a room of 120 people, and how the mother of the bride is told apart from her sister.
Seating is where most couples start. The shot list and Who’s Who are what they wish they’d had by the time the day arrived.
Seat the Day started as a custom tool for one couple. It’s now the planning tool we all deserved — built around the one list every couple already keeps.
Our storyUpdate the sheet, the chart follows. Move someone on the chart, the sheet updates. They're always in sync.
Move tables with a click. No design skills. Just intuitive movement that matches the actual room.
Add dance floors, bars, cake tables, DJ booths, and restrooms, so the room on screen is the room you booked.
Track requests like “sit with Grace” or “not near the band.” Each one is checked in real time — green if honored, red if broken.
Allergies and meal choices ride along with each guest and print on the sheet your caterer gets.
Every move is logged. See what changed and when, and put it back if you preferred it before.
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.
Each shot shows where its people are sitting — “Tables 3, 7 · 2 unseated” — so nobody is hunted for during the reception.
Who's Who turns the shot list into printable cards: name, who they are to you, which table, and how many shots they're in.
My mom is going to build a shrine to you when she sees this

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

We wanted to make sure that our venue was aware of guest allergies - and this put it all in one PDF
— Jen, wedding party
It was important that we could visualize where our older guests would be sitting. Nana Maureen will love her spot
— John, groom
