Free Seating Chart Maker — No Signup, No Limits

Drag tables. Drop guests. Design your entire wedding seating for free. Only pay if you want to save or export.

Free seating charts. No signup. No table cap.

Design on the free tier and get unlimited:

• Tables (no 5-table cap)
• Guests (no 15-guest limit)
• Edits (change your mind as many times as you want)
• Time (stay in the designer as long as you need)

Pay only when you want to save your work or export to PDF, Excel, or other formats.

Why Most "Free" Seating Chart Tools Cap You

Most free seating chart makers trick you:

• "Free to 5 tables" (most weddings are 8+, so you upgrade)
• "Free to 15 guests" (average wedding is 80+, so you upgrade)
• "Requires account to design" (captures your email before you try)
• "Templates only" (not actual seating, just pre-made graphics)

Ours is genuinely free:

• No table cap
• No guest cap
• No signup required
• Full designer (not a stripped-down preview)
• Use it as long as you want

The Catch (And Why There Isn't One)

"Why is this free?"

Most people want to try a tool before paying. Keeping the designer free and charging for save/export is honest. If you'll never export or collaborate with others, you never pay.

"What happens if I close the browser?"

On free, your work isn't saved between sessions (this prevents server overload). Upgrade to save. It's a reasonable trade-off.

"Is there pressure to upgrade?"

No. If you want to design, print a PDF on your own computer, or never look at it again—you can do all of that free. Upgrade only if you want to save between sessions.

Common Questions About Our Free Tier

Do I really need to sign up?

No. Click "open designer" and start dragging tables. An account is only required if you want to save, export, or share.

Can I use the free version for my actual wedding?

Yes. Design, export to PDF once, print. That works on free. You only pay if you want to save and come back to it later.

If I don't pay, can someone else see my seating chart?

Not unless you export and share the PDF yourself. Your free design stays in your browser only.

What if I want to export to Excel for my caterer?

That requires paid tier. But you can download as a PDF and manually transcribe to Excel (tedious but possible). Or upgrade.

Can I import my guest list for free?

Yes. CSV import is free on every tier.

Is there a time limit on the free design?

No. Design for as long as you want in one session. You only lose it if you close the browser (since it's not saved). Upgrade to keep it.

How long is the 90-day save period?

90 days from purchase. You can re-up before it expires, or upgrade to a subscription for ongoing access.

When to Upgrade From Free

Keep using free if:

• You design once and print once
• You don't need to come back to the file later
• You have no collaborators (planner, partner doesn't need to edit)
• You'll manually transfer data to Excel for your caterer

Upgrade if:

• You want to save your work between sessions
• Your planner or partner needs to co-edit
• You want to export multiple times (PDF, Excel, escorts, place cards)
• You want a live link for your venue coordinator
• You're a wedding planner doing 5+ events/year

Free Forever Guarantee

We'll always keep a free designer with no table cap, no guest cap, and no signup.

Some features (saving, exporting, collaboration) have paid tiers. But the core "design your seating chart free" part stays free.
