Planner notes (not for guests)

Table 1: Madeline Mack is at the honoree table by the window. Lucille Jordan is seated with her husband. Lynn Lang asked to sit with Madeline, so she is at Table 1.
Table 2: Mabel Livingston is at Table 2, the table closest to the front door, because she uses a wheelchair and needs the seat closest to the door with room to pull in. I placed her in Seat 1, but the exact seat nearest the door is not confirmed yet. Luke Klein is fine anywhere, so he fills an open seat at the same table.
Lucas Hurst and Lynn Lang are at different tables, as you requested. Lucas and his guest are kept together at Table 2.
Count check: 8 guests (6 named, 2 unnamed plus-ones), 8 seats across 2 tables of 4, 0 empty seats.
All firm needs are met. No soft wishes were left unmet.
This is a draft for you and the host to approve.

Questions for the owner

What are the names of Lucille Jordan's husband and Lucas Hurst's guest, for the place cards?
Which seat at Table 2 is closest to the door? I put Mabel Livingston in Seat 1 and need you to confirm that is the right spot.
Do any guests have food allergies or dietary needs? Please pass those to the caterer or venue.

What it does

Takes your guest list, the table layout, and any seating requests, and builds a draft seating chart you can review and adjust. It also gives you private planner notes explaining each choice and flags anything that could not be solved.

Use it when: Use when an event planner needs to turn a guest list, table sizes, and seating requests into a draft seating chart, such as: make a seating chart, seat these guests, who sits where, or table assignments for a dinner.
