Guest list and seating
Build the guest list with households, replies and meals, then give everyone a table. The print kit and the caterer sheet come from the same list.
- Guest list Track households, replies, plus-ones and meals, with seats and meals counted separately.
- Seating chart Give every accepted guest a table, with seat limits and a list of who still needs one.
Everything starts with one guest list. Group guests into households so one reply covers a family, record who is invited to which event, and keep each guest’s reply and meal choice next to their name. Import a list you already keep in a spreadsheet, or type it in; nothing is uploaded.
When the replies are in, give every guest a seat. The seating chart shows how many seats are left at each table, never seats more people than a table has, counts who is not seated yet, and treats notes such as people who should or should not sit together as gentle warnings rather than rules. Every printable, from place cards to the caterer’s meal count, is made from this same list, so a change is made once.
