Minted Makes the Sign. We Make the Plan.
Minted's seating charts are the printed signs guests read at the door. Deciding what goes on the sign — who sits at which table — happens somewhere else.
Does Minted have a seating chart tool?
Minted sells seating chart signs and table cards, designed by independent artists and customized with your names. As of September 2026, it has no tool for planning the seating itself — for deciding who sits at which table. Minted's own seating guide points couples to a separate app for laying out tables.
So a Minted sign is the last step. You still need a finished table plan to type into it.
Where Minted wins
The design. If you want the sign at the entrance to match your invitations, Minted is a great choice, and nothing here replaces it.

|---|---|---|
| Designed, printed seating sign | Yes | No — use Minted |
| Decide who sits at which table | No | Drag and drop, with seat counts per table |
| Works from your guest list | You type names into the design | Reads your Google Sheet, syncs both ways |
| Floor plan | No | Yes |
| Change seats after printing | Reorder the sign | Update the plan; the QR page updates too |
| QR code so guests can find their seat | No | Yes, with a name search |
| Catering counts | No | Yes |
Using Minted and Seat the Day together
- Plan the seating in Seat the Day from the Google Sheet that holds your guest list.
- Print the seating chart to check it with your venue and caterer.
- Copy the final table list into your Minted design. The printed chart lists every table and who is at it, which is exactly what the sign needs.
- Add the QR code to a small sign or the table cards for guests who'd rather search for their name.
Order the Minted sign after the plan is final. Last-minute changes are easy to make in Seat the Day and hard to make on a printed sign.

Where the comparison stops
Everything above compares seating charts, because that is what these tools do. Seat the Day treats your guest list as the thing you keep, and seating as one of the things it builds.
The same list also builds a photography shot list covering the whole celebration, from the rehearsal dinner to the after party — with live guest groups and the table numbers your photographer needs during the reception. And Who’s Who, a printed face-reference sheet so a photographer who has never met your family can find your 93-year-old grandmother, and tell the mother of the bride from her sister.
Neither has an equivalent in the tools on this page.
