Free Online Seating Chart Maker Walkthrough (Video)
This 5:51 video walks through the free online seating chart maker from start to finish: creating a new chart, sizing the room, adding tables of different shapes, building the guest list and seating everyone with drag and drop. Because table seating cards are generated from exactly this kind of plan, the walkthrough doubles as a lesson in using the maker as your card template — every step shown leads toward finished cards.
What this video covers
- Setting up a new chart and matching the room to your venue
- Adding tables of different shapes and importing your full guest list
- Drag-and-drop seating plus meal choices, allergies and notes per guest
Why the maker is your card template
A table seating cards template on planning.wedding is not a static document you fill in cell by cell — it is the seating plan itself. The editor holds your floor plan, tables and guest assignments in one place, and each card inherits its table name and guest list from that structure. Change the plan and regenerate: the cards always follow the current arrangement, with no copying between files.
Everything shown in the walkthrough runs free in the browser, so you can pause the video and repeat each step inside your own project. Invite your partner or planner to view the shared plan, record dietary needs on individual seats, and once the layout is locked, print or export the per-table cards for the reception. The table seating cards overview explains the rest of the feature.
