We’re going to do table cards, but this would be such an amazing tool to help us since we have no idea where to start!! We are going to have about 250 people too, so we need the organization!
We’re planning on letting guests know what tables they are at and letting them seat themselves - however I don’t know too many of the guests on his family’s side so this would help immensely!
Ooooooooh, I would LOVE this! I’m currently planning on doing escort cards - get everyone to the right table but then let them choose who to sit by. I don’t need to dictate EVERYTHING about the wedding, right?
i woud loooove this
We’re going to use table cards and let guests arrange themselves at their table.
We had been leaning toward having a free for all until we heard from a significant number of our friends how much they like being told what table to sit at. It eliminates any possibility of accidentally taking grandma’s seat! 
So we are doing escort cards. I’m kind of afraid of trying to organize who will be sitting where, since we are having about 200 guests. It’s a little overwhelming!
Anyway, I hope I win, because this software sounds amazing!
We’re doing fortune cookie escort cards!
A seating chart displayed as the guests walk in with names in alphabetical order and their table # next to their name.
We are having an outdoor tent wedding, so I won’t be 100% sure of how the tables are going to be arranged until everything is set up! There are sure to be last minute changes, and it seems like this software would really help deal with that.
Ahhh, we don’t even have any form of organizing our seating, so this would be great! Especially for my mac!!
That program would be a lifesaver! We are planning on doing escort cards so that they can still pick their seat, but we pick the table they set at - too much family drama have to make sure everyone is seated with the right people!
We’re doing escort cards that will be designed by the same folks who are doing our invites and menus. And we are inviting over 400 guests, so I know this will be a big job!
We’re doing place cards. This program would be so helpful!
This would be so helpful in getting everyone arranged. What is the old school way of doing seating charts?
We’re doing escort cards to direct people to the appropriate table. This would be so helpful since seating is one of those last minute tasks you can’t complete until the RSVPs are in
God - I wanted a free for all just because I didn’t want another DIY project. But so is life, it’s totally not going to work - We’ll have to add 2 tables to make sure there is enough places for everyone and because I’m paying extra for table clothes I just can’t do it. So I need help! How do you get the perfect mix? Friends from different points of life, my family and his family. I’m really dreading this. That aside, I did find some super cute ideas for Escort Cards… tooth picks, moss and some great fonts.
I need this so badly. Its up in the air right now. I’m making table numbers currently, and we’re either doing escort cards or a seating chart. I think the chart would be easier, but the cards will be cuter… decisions decisions.
I’m doing escort votives to get people to their tables and then menus doubling as seating cards. This software would help *so much* in figuring out who goes where!!!
Oh, this would be fantastic! I’m already stressing about how to manage our guest list when assigned table/seats, and this would be a huge help (plus my techie fiance would probably be more interested if there was some cool software to work with). This would be incredibly helpful!
We’re doinging escort cards… and it’s almost time to start figuring out everyone’s tables!
Ooh, I would love this… we are doing escort cards, plus favors with names on them in lieu of seating cards). Our tables will be names after important dates in our life, with cards identifying them.
We are going to do escort cards; and to figure our where everyone goes a LARGE poster board (for us of course!)! (with about 240 people it might take a while!) :0)
We’re definitely doing assigned seats, I’ve been to too many free for all weddings = no bueno.
We’re going to have a framed list of names and assigned tables as the guest come in w/ another framed diagram of were the tables are located. Then at each table we will put their name cards
So, this software would come in REALLY handy
Yeah! This looks amazing! We are using a framed seating chart that assigns tables and putting placecards at each seat. We wanted to take the stress away from the guests so this way no way will need to sprint to their table for a “good” seat.
Ooh, this would be great to have for all our last minute prep!
Fun!
Okay, I give. I was just going to let everybody sit where they want, but if I win the software I will assign seating and make escort cards and print a seating plan. You got me. Plus I’m getting nervous and I guess I just need another project to take my mind off things.
PLEASE!!! We’re doing spreadsheets!!
I’m planning to assign tables but not seats. And I NEEEEEED this software
Me like a copy. We are doing place cards held with mini brown bear and pink pig.
This would be great. I just sent out my invitations!
Ooh, this would make my live easier. I’m currently maintaining all my lists in Excel.
We’re doing table cards and letting everyone pick their own seats at the table.
We’re doing escort cards and maybe placecards depending on how organized I am closer to the date and my level of craziness
I’m using escort cards. This would be so helpful!
We’ll do either escort cards or a seating chart/plan. There’s some family drama so the challenge will be seating certain people far enough from each other without demoting any of them by putting them off in the corner. YIKES - we have our work cut out for us!
We will probably do a seating chart as the guests walk into the room or place cards ??????
Escort cards…the timing is perfect for this, I just tried sitting down with everyone’s names on post-its and got too frustrated!
I want to do escort cards and let guests decide from there, but my fiance wants to do something “different.” He hasn’t informed me yet what his plan is…This program would help either way!
This is awesome. We’re doing escort cards.
placecards and tablecards
we are doing table cards. i haven’t gotten to the seating arrangements yet but this would definitely help me so much. i need some organization tools…..please pick me!
table cards - this would be so helpful!
I would love to use this software to organize our 212 guest seating plan! We are assigning tables, not seats, with escort cards. The tables will have empty bottles of wine that we’ve drank together and saved, and be named by the name of the wine. Guests will receive the name of their table on an escort card held in a wine cork, also saved from our actual use! We have rectangle and round tables seating different numbers so this will be quite the project!
We’re doing escort cards and placecards and maybe more if we get this really helpful piece of software. Thanks.
When I was married in August I used Escort Cards. Doing the seating chart was so difficult. My sister is getting married next year and I’ll be heavily involved, since she will be very busy with a 1 year old! It would be great to have this software to take some stress out of her life. For her wedding, we will most likely use escort cards again, with no seating chart.
We are either doing escort cards or a seating chart and this would definitely help out so much!
This would make life easier!
I think we will be doing place cards since they are some people who need specific seats
We are doing escort cards as it is another chance to use our monogram and I got cute mini photo frames from the knot.com wedding shop to place them in, which will double as favors. Guests are seating at tables with horses’ names from the KY Derby from the year we met. I would LOVE this program, because up until a month ago, FI wanted no seating plan! Now that he has seen the light, I know the arranging could be stressful and this would definitely help:)
Escort cards…but this program would be perfect!
Escort cards- people can choose where they want to sit after they are “lead” to one of our lovely tables with a lake theme. But oh how this software would take away some of the pain of organizing….
We’re doing escort cards on little tins of herbs that we’re putting together, so they’ll double up as favors. We have a really unique space to plan, so this program would be the tops!
I’ve heard so many nightmares about planning the seating arrangement that I’m scared! For guests, it can make or break their wedding experience. Who hasn’t gotten stuck sitting next to someone and you ask yourself, “What were they thinking putting me here?” We’re doing escort cards I have a growing list of do’s and don’ts next to each person so we can appropriate determine where everyone should sit. This program seems like a winner to me!
I wish I could just do free-for-all, but our venue requires assigned seating. I’m just having the table assignments printed on nice paper and framed- no place cards, not escort cards.
i am going to do a seating chart board…two of them…which will be placed in 2 different places during the cocktail hour so guest have plenty of time to figure out where they are sitting before they enter the reception hall. crossing my fingers that i win….
While our venue tried to pressure us into a ‘free for all’, we know better. It would be chaos with 325 people who don’t know where to sit, at a mix of round and rectangular tables! Yikes!
I would love to have this. I’m doing escort cards, not sure about place cards yet. But it’s a thought back there along with the million other wedding things. This program looks awesome. And Mac compatible? Who could ask for more!!!
We’ll be doing escort cards since I know I hate not having an assigned seat at weddings….I usually end up by people I don’t know in the back corner.
Escort Cards it will be! This would be a great tool to use though to stay organized
i want to do escort cards that tell just the table… possibly have seating cards at the table then.
i have no idea how to even begin though.
this software would be perfect.
This would be so wonderful. Since some of my dad’s seven siblings don’t speak to each other, my parents are divorced, and a bunch of my FI’s drinking friends and my Mom’s almost completly dry family seating is going to be a nightmare!
I actually took measurements of the banquet space and made floor plans with AutoCad. I have my tables layout set but I have no ideashow the caterer needs to set up..
Im not havinga sit down dinner but I will have 10 tables/cocktail tables
I’m thinking table cards right now, but we haven’t decided for sure yet.
we have to do place cards, not all family members are getting along, so I am going crazy, The seating has changed countless time, and I am freaking out, this would be so helpful!!!
I love the idea of putting the names on smooth river rocks and then placing them in sand or on a plate of sod. Organising these, however, would be helped out greatly by this software. I’ve heard nothing but praise for it!
As of right now, we’re just doing “free for all”. As of right now, my tables are all laid out in autocad. But this software would be so helpful, since it manages RSVPs, etc.!
Place cards at banquet tables and possibly a large chart in the entrance hall to help people navigate?
Place cards using wine works!
We are doing an enormous seating chart with personal escorts for “older” couples - it’s always been a traditional way of seating at weddings for my family.
This would save my life!
We’re doing a seating chart and placecards at the table.
escort cards
To assign or not to assign… that is the question with which we struggle. Originally, I was thinking a free-for-all, as we’ve got a small wedding. However, we’ve got a mix of people with a few singles thrown in to complicate things, so we’re now going with table assignments. So, probably escort cards?? Obviously, I need some help!
Cute escort cards on a table!
escort cards!!
How incredibly helpful would this be?? Just the thought of seating rubs me the wrong way :S
this would end every headache I had!
We’re going to do table cards, but this would be so helpful! We are going to have about 250 people too, so we need the organization.
This would be a great tool! We are doing escort cards / assigned tables.
Place cards since all of our guests will be receiving a unique favor tailored to them.
Definitely a seating chart but we’re thinking about hanging placecards on the back of each chair.
I wanted a free for all and even told family that there would be a fish bowl at the entrance and you had to pick. Couples may be split up. Some didn’t get the joke and were a bit freaked out. We are doing table cards and then our guests can figure out where to sit from there.
I was only going to do escort cards, but my caterer is demanding that I choose seating and have placecards at each seat indicating the person’s name and their entree order. *Sigh*
We are doing escort cards! We will also have a chart displaying location of tables since they will have names instead of numbers. This program would help out tons!
Wow! Looks great! Would LOVE the help! Am planning doing escort cards and a poster as well.
We’re probably using place cards.
i’m going to use table cards. this is exactly what i need. with 350+ guests, this would be a definite lifesaver!
Oops, I didn’t say how I was planning on doing seating. Place card! I hope this doesn’t disqualify me–I don’t know how to delete my previous comment.
we’re doing placecards tucked into ribbon on a board
Of course this would be helpful…but talk about fun too! Think of the options!! We are planning to do escort cards…maybe placecards, not sure yet. I’m hoping to do a “sea to sky” theme (my fiance works on planes in the Navy, and my family loves to sail)…probably some paper airplanes for half the guests and paper boats for the other half.
I don’t know how I’m going to organize! I think I might do both though…now to attack this problem…with the help of that program possibly?
table cards, escort cards and i’m contemplating having customized menus so that the seats are assigned… all depends on how much work i want to take on! this software would be of amazing help…
Escort cards. I’m thinking the table “numbers” will be sites in our city. This software will definitely help plan our 250 guest wedding.
We are going to do escort cards and assign people to tables. This software looks soooo helpful!
We’re having a seated buffet!! The guests will be seated at assigned seats (placecards) at assigned tables (table numbers). We’re using a seating chart, rather than escort cards to help guest find their seats.
But the beauty of a seated buffet is that we don’t have to worry about meal choices - everyone can pick what they like! Yay!
My RSVP date is May 23rd, so I’m about to be neck deep in seating assignments. This software would be terribly useful for me. I hope I’m a winner!
i NEED this! we are doing assigned with table cards and place cards and we have to be very careful, if you know what i mean!!!
Our plan is to assign people to tables, but other than that, we have no idea! We have family from South Dakota, rural Vermont, Philly and Princeton. We have people from age 80 to age 14, and disparate groups of college friends (I went to Wellesley, he went to Princeton). Then we add that my parents are divorced, his father is deceased and we have lots of siblings, and we have no idea where everyone will best fit! The wedding is a little over four months away, and now that I’m starting to think about it, this is going to be a daunting task.
We are doing escort cards, but with 200 people, we will let them choose their own seats once they find their tables. But, our venue has 3 different sizes of tables that we have to configure to fit everyone, so this software would be a lifesaver!
So far I’ve done everything wedding on my computer, but I hadn’t figured out how to do the seating chart on there. I don’t have the budget for software (already spent it all on my invite budget…oops), so this would be super handy!!
Oh my gosh, this would be SO helpful to me!! Please pick me!
oops forgot to say I’m assigning people to tables, but letting them pick where they want to sit at the table
Oooh, oooh, oooh- ME!
I’m currently using good ol’ excel for everything, but this software would help immensely.
We are assinging tables, but not seats!
We will be doing escort cards. Because our reception is at a brewery I was thinking of having coasters with everyone’s names.
We are planning a “free for all” but if I won this, I would need to re-think that!
Escort cards, this would be totally helpful!
maybe today will finally be my lucky day… please please please please oh random number generator… have no idea how i will plan seating yet actually. give me motivation! =)
ooooh! this would be so helpful and fun to use to place 300 people!
After recently attending a wedding with free-for-all seating, I’m definitely going with assigned tables with escort cards, but not assigned seats. I’m actually looking forward to grouping people together - family who won’t have been together for a wedding in years, college friends, my best friends from camp, etc. I think it might be fun to pair people together, but this software would make my life easier in terms of people who don’t fit into any obvious group. What a great idea!
We’re planning to use place cards, but I must say it’s not always easy to figure out exactly where to put different couples, singles, and groups. This software would certainly help out my mess of papers with arrows and scratched out names!
we’re having table cards. using just plain word
Escort cards and with over 200 people this would make my life so much easier!
We are doing escort cards that will double as name tags. They will get our guests to the correct table, and help the families remember each others names.
Place Cards. UGH!
I’m doing escort cards and place cards - started working on them the other day and I’m already getting overwhelmed!
we are using escort cards to assign the tables. i bought plain white ones from papersource and am stamping them with a green leaf design. the software would be amazingly helpful!
I have no idea! haha…I am the most unorganized person. We are going to have some sort of card that will guide the guest to their table, then it is a free for all at the table.
I wanted to do a free for all but with 148 guests that would be a little too crazy. So instead we’re doing table cards and place cards. Hopefully it will go smoothly!
Oh PLEASE save my sanity!
We’re doing place cards color-coded according to meal choice! And its our venue’s first wedding…ever. Anything that will make this easier is a blessing!
I so need this right now, please pick me!!
Oh, WOW. I am so excited that something like this exists. Whenever I think of seating arrangements, I envision spending hours on a mock-up with little red and blue flags like Monica on Friends did. We’re going to do table cards, but haven’t quite gotten to that stage yet.
We are using escort cards. But it is a restaurant with tables of all different sizes, so I think it is going to be a challenge!
We are having escort cards…=)
I’d totally do a free for all, but know it would turn into a complete disaster, so escort cards it is for us!
Please let me win…my wedding is next Sunday and I could definitely use this in the next couple of days!!!
This would be great! I’m doing a seating chart since I’ve never really liked the free-for-all approach.
My wedding is in 9 days and I am using post- its to decide who is sitting where. I would love to use a table chart but considering we are down to the wire — escort cards it is. This program would help immensely!!!!
I would love to use this for my friends wedding. Floor plan on an L and U shaped room is proving to be difficult!
This would definitely take the stress off of figuring out where to put 200 people for me!
We are using table cards - then the people can sit where they want at their assigned table.
I’m early in my planning and haven’t decided what we’re doing about table assignments, but I know we won’t be doing a free-for-all, so this software would definitely come in handy!
I’m still trying to figure out how I will be handeling seating. I’m leaning towards family groupings with escort cards. This program seems too good to be true
My FI and I have been tossing around fun table naming conventions - movies, tv shows, sports teams. We want to use escort cards but figured putting the tv character’s name on it as a way to find the table with the tv show might be a bit too much.
my computer geek FI and i would LOVE this tool! so far our personal wedding wiki and many, many spreadsheets have been our planning tools of choice– this would be a great one to add to the collection!
Oh, this would be wonderful! I think we’re going with just escort cards, but my parents are divorced, and not amicably, so it would be incredibly useful to have something help me keep track of who not to sit near whom.
i am doing it all - table plan, escort cards, table numbers, personalized menus with a welcome note, seat cards. i am a design and paper fanatic, and it’s important to me that the look and feel of our wedding is carried out through the table.
i’m also working with a catering vendor at the beach that’s a little… not detail oriented so i definitely need to be able to share a diagram of how things should be set up so there’s no miscommunication!
oh and we are just planning on using post it notes to figure out seating! ack…
We are doing escort cards and table cards named after movies since the reception will be held in a movie studio. After all the stress of the invites and our ever expanding guest list, this software might just keep me from going over the edge:)
not handling at all set so I CERTAINLY need this!
*fingers crossed*
this would be awesome! we are having assigned seating with place cards for about 300 people and 30 tables. This tool would be an awesome addition to the wedding planning. I know my FI would enjoy working with it. he loves what he can do on the computer for the wedding.
it’s perfect timing b/c i’m sending out the invitations Friday!!! RSVPs will be rolling in!
we’re doing escort cards/favors in the form of potted herbs with a little brass stake with guest and table names. I haven’t even begun the seating chart though, I know this software would help immensely!
I’ll probably do an escort card…although at this point I haven’t done any planning for this so it may become free for all…!
I haven’t decided yet. Most likely a seating chart framed and table cards. But that is why I need help!!
I’m doing placecards, and this software would help me so much!!!
We’re doing table assignments but then letting people pick where at the table they want to sit. We’ve got 160 people coming, so Perfect Table Plan would be a lifesaver!
We plan to do escort cards and would definitely also add a table chart with this software. We are inviting 380 people so we need all the help we can get! I would love to use this software!
We are having a free for all at the moment, but due to some last minute guest list add-ons, I think I could really use this program to help come up with a detailed arrangement.
This would make my life sooo much easier. We are doing escort cards
we are doing escort cards
Seating is one thing I am looking forward to, but I still need some help!
We are doing escort cards, I have no idea where to start on table arrangements or seating!
escort cards and table numers
i dread doing the seating chart and am doing escort cards
We are still struggling with this. We are going to need to do a seating chart to assign tables but I don’t think we’re going to assign specific seats at the tables unless there are more diplomatic issues than what we foresee at the moment. And I’m hoping to find the time to write every guest a personal note on their escort card. But we’ll see about that in the few weeks leading up to the wedding!
This is such a cool program! I think we’re doing table cards, but I’m not sure as of yet…
Please choose me, and prevent me from going insane!
We are going to do favor boxes with labels on them. Each box is going to have a piece of candy and that candy is going to be the name of a table.
oh gosh! we aren’t doing anything yet - i just lovingly read the replies then toss them into a pink holt renfrew bag - i was thinking that inside the bag, the friends and couples would somehow magically join together and form the tables? - is this not true? lol - just joking,,,
Our table cards are going to be the names of places we’ve lived leading up to our new house which will be the name of the head table! I’m still trying to figure out the best way to display that and to organize who is best to sit at which table… ie my family would probably prefer to sit at one of my houses growing up rather than his… so software would be great!
I’ve heard great things about this software. We’re planning on escort cards for our wedding.
We are going to be doing escort cards…but it sure will be easier to assign seats with this nifty program
We’re using escort cards. I’m slightly OCD about organization though this software would help out a lot!
this program looks awesome. If I win, I might become an event planner just so that I can use this software more often!
I am printing out all the table numbers and escort cards myself (I work in graphic design so that helps). I’m just sticking to plain ol’ numbers so that people can find their seats quickly if the numbers are ascending (as opposed to other titles that may not have a particular order).
I had used Illustrator to make little tables and meticulously put all the names in 5pt font in boxes. I wish I would have had this! Maybe it is not too late…I still have one month to go…
THIS WOULD SAVE MY LIFE!
We were originally going to do dinner buffet style with a free-for-all seating. The venue decided they couldn’t do a buffet for some reason and required a sit-down-dinner.
We are using escort cards attached to miniture bottles of champagne/sparkling cider. I would LOVE help with the seating chart. RSVPs should start coming back next week! :S
We are doing table numbers and place cards. However, I have not even finalized my guest list. Help please.
OMG…I would totally love this. It would help me plan how to keep my mom and dad apart so they dont fight with each other and how i can seat my cute single friend victoria next to my fiances cute single friend roger.
Place cards, this would be a huge help!
I gave up on my seating chart because i pulled all my hair trying to figure things out!
I left seating to my Fiance…please help him by sending him a copy!
We are planning to use escort cards.
After reading all of the posts from Bees who’ve used this, I really would love to try it. I’m sure it would be very helpful.
we are going to do escort cards, but with lots of ‘this person cant sit with this person’ in our families, this would be so helpful, especailly with the meal choices. Horray!
We are using escort cards, and would love to try this software.
We are doing escort and table cards but I am at complete lost on how to figure out the seating arrangements and this software will help me greatly!
We’re using Escort cards… very useful giveaway!
Escort cards all the way. My FI wanted to do it in Solidworks, I figure this would be much easier!
This software would be especially helpful for children/parents seating. Getting all the parents seated close to the kids tables (20 kids!) is going to be a challenge.
placecards & seating charts!
We’re doing printing out escort cards that match our invitations. The RSVPs are just beginning to trickle in, so this would come in super handy in the next couple of weeks!!
just in time!
I think we’re going to just assign tables and let people choose which seat they sit at. That way we don’t have empty seats and we can make sure that various groups of family/friends are seated together.
Escort Cards all the way…outside under the trees! This would be so helpful!!
This would be so helpful! We have rectangular tables in a tight space. I think that we will do assigned seating. Have a couple of master boards at the entry and numbers on the tables, and then guests will find the seat that has their place card.
I don’t even know yet! my finace assures me that he is crafty enough to help create escort cards, but I don’t even know how we’re going to sort out who sits where
We’re just doing table assignments so people know where to go, but can seat themselves. Crossing my fingers that I get this one!
Seating chart and escort cards. I’d love this program especially since we have over 400 people invited!
I haven’t gotten to seating people yet but the plan right now is assingned seating with tables with cute names, place cards and escort cards since we want to make sure to keep certain people on opposite sides of the room!
Ooh! Me me me! I soo need this software!
Definitely having assigned seating. We wanted to play up the escort cards, so we’re going to use our favors (caramel apples, wrapped in cellophane bags). We’ll be placing a sticker/label on the front with the guest’s name and table number.
My future husband and I met at a bachelor/ette wine tour for his brother (one of my dearest friends) and my best friend, in whose wedding we were the Best Man and Maid of Honor respectively. Since then, wine tours have become an activity we love and treasure. Accordingly, we are going to use names of some of our favorite vineyards for the table names and use small personalized bottles of wine from our favorite winery (the place where we first broke the ice) with a beautiful tag around the neck of the bottle indicating at which table each guest will be seated. We are still debating whether or not to assign specific seats or just tables.
Our families and friends largely have not met and I have not met many of his friends from his college years so the trick for us will be meshing everyone together in a way that is not awkward but still allows for everyone in our world to interact, mingle and get to know one another. I think it would be so wonderfully helpful to have softward to help us accomplish this task!
Escort cards that will be color-coded to denote meal preference
We’re using escort cards and table numbers.
My entire family is crazy and most of them hate each other, so we are definitely going to need to be creative with where we seat people! We haven’t decided yet about what our escort cards will look like, but we may combine them with our favor- jars of apple butter made by my fiance’s family!
We will probably do escort cards to get everyone to the right table and then let them choose their seat — a little organization mixed with a little freedom. The funny thing is that “high tech cool seating programs” is the thing I’ve heard my fiance get excited most about during the planning process so far! He even wanted to choose our reception hall based on the fact that one of the venues gave you a free seating program when you booked your wedding! Alas, we went with another reception hall so no free seating program for us! We would absolutely love this!!
We’re doing assigned seating because we have three menu options. I would LOVE this software, because I am anal retentive and enjoy arranging things!
This would be perfect
We will be using a combination of escort cards and placecards. We’ll see how well it goes over though, our family/friends have NEVER had assigned seating at a wedding. I hate the chaos that goes with open seating though, so this was a mustdo for us.
We are framing our seating chart, all guests will be listed alphabetically by last name. Since our wedding is outside, I thought it would be difficult to keep any type of “card” in place! Though the bees are giving me some great ideas!
Defiantely need this considering that I will be having over 400 guests. Thanks
Right now I’m using post-its. Haven’t even thought about the next step- I’d love to have a copy of this to help!
WOW! So many respondents! We’re having about 250 guests, with lots of them being family that needs to be seperated, so lots of extra consideration will be given to the seating arrangements. We’re doing escort cards and place cards as tables and seats will be assigned to avoid an ugly confrontations. This would be a great tool!
I’m doing escort cards plus table cards. The table cards will be menues with each guest’s name written at the top.
I think we might go the route of having just one big list somewhere near the venue’s entrance with everyone’s table numbers, but we aren’t going to assign them particular seats at the tables.
I’m debating between table cards and free for all. Our venue has a few tables that are in less-than-ideal locations (kind of stuck away in the corner) so I’m not sure if it would be really insulting to assign people to that table. However, the idea of putting together interesting tables sounds like a fun challenge to me!
not really sure at all yet - i want to do assigned seating with escort cards. I am meeting with my wedding coordinator tonight so i am hoping to find this out!
we’re just having our reception helpers tell 275+ guests where they are seated. we will get the seating chart from the reception venue only a few weeks beforehand. :/ the software will help immensely!
I am making an escort card board and writing down the table #’s on each escort card. The tables will have numbers on them, probably quilled.
We might just have an arm wrestling tournament, and based on the rankings that come of it, that’s the order people will get to pick where they sit.
This couldn’t have come at a better time! I’m up to my neck with cardstock and Post-Its!
We’re doing escort cards but open seating at each table. And we have 300+ guests. This is almost as bad as trying to figure out the guest list.
We will be using place / escort cards and table numbers, but the problem is arranging all of the in-laws!
Pick me!!!
Escort cards! Trying to make them beautiful and functional, but they’re going to have to duke it out once they get to the table
if i had it my way - with my eyes closed, but luckily my fiance is taking over this job duty as i want nothing to do with it! so i’m sure he’d love you forever if we won
We are doing Escort cards although I need to get on the ball and design them soon!
I’d love a Mac version of this software!! Fantastic!
We’re doing luggage tag escort cards for our wedding.
We’re doing escort cards. Since I’m persian and FI isnt, I’ve been trying to come up with subtle ways to incorporate my cultural in the reception so we came up with the idea of having our guest’s name and table number in engligh on one side of the card and their name and table number in Farsi on the other side. This also helps for some of my family who are traveling from Iran to come to the wedding and dont read English. We also decided since we are having a sit down menu, to include a mini menu on the inside of the escort card outlining which each guest will be having.
Oh my gosh, when I was little I used to play with house plan books and draw in where the furniture would go - this is my dream software!
I would love to win this to give to my friend - she would absolutely be blown away by it!!
Most likely table cards, but we need an organization tool! I’ve just downloaded the free trial yesterday and i can’t believe we’re having this giveaway today. I want it, please!
i would love it! need to get organized!!
we’re doing escort cards, hopefully displayed in some cute fashion, or maybe a large chart display, hm. in any event, totally not looking forward to tackling the seating chart. the software would make it that much less painful…and they have it for my mac! perfect!
I planned to research this software!
ooo I really need this with a 400+ guest list!
We’re going to do escort cards - this software could really help us out!
I need this soooooo bad! We’re doing some place cards and some free for all.
Escort cards for sure…only because there are going to be some ex’s and non-compatible relatives. we’ve been using all sorts of math-y solutions to create table maps but to no avail! I was thinking about trying the software so this would be perfect.
we were thinking of place cards and table cards
Escort cards….this program looks so useful and eliminates a lot of the stress and drama of deciding whom to seat where.
I checked out the demo version of this software and I would love to have the full version. We’re doing escort cards that have to be color-coded with each guest’s entree choice. This program would really help me to stay organized!
We’re trying to minimize our use of paper products, so we don’t want to use escort cards or tags. So far, the best idea we’ve had is to put pictures of our guests (I think we can collect them all) on their proper tables as part of the centerpiece/decoration. It will be fun to watch everyone mingling and looking at pictures of our lives (and theirs!) while hunting for their tables.
We have quite a mix of people to seat and I’m actually looking foward to the challenge of working it all out. It’s an interesting thing to try to figure out who of your family and friends will love and/or hate eachother. Fascinating social dynamics! I could certainly use some objective help (i.e. computer software)!
We’re not planning on doing escort card. We will just let them know as they are signing in what table number they’re at and let them pick their own seats.
This would be WONDERFULLY helpful to me. We are doing assigned tables, and i’d planjned on doing place cards, but now my venue tells me they can’t set that up for me. GAH!
Escort cards labeled with meal choices, but I hate that this is something that simply has to be done last minute once we get RSVPs back!
Table Cards…I think this would help us emensely…we both have blended families and need help!
I was just looking online for this software. With 300 guests, this would be perfect.
That would be super handy! We’re probably having a seating chart and placecards.
I own a copy of the software and used it for my wedding last August. It was the best purchase I made!
So ladies, even if you don’t win a copy, I encourage you to purchase one. It’ll save you a lot of time, paper and make table planning a lot easier
I REALLY need this software! Our RSVP list has gotten out of control I need to properly assign people where to sit! LOL!!!
We’re having 350 people, so this tool would be awesome! We’re using escort “envelopes” which will be large enough for guests to put their photobooth favors in. Then we will have placecard menus. I’m all for multi-use stationery!
this would be great to have, because I need to start my seating chart next week!! =)
This will surely unleash the OCD in me. We are planning to have table cards with pictures of us in various NYC landmarks.
For now, we are doing place cards, but FI wants to do table cards. This will be very helpful in my organizational obsession I have!
For seating I am making wooden Christmas ornaments (similar to the ones my grandfather has made for all of the grandchildren for almost 20 years) to use as our place cards. With almost 200 guests this software would be very helpful!
Aaaaah, I want, I want!! I am doing the whole seating cards/place cards scheme. It’s going to be such mayhem, believe you me, people will need to be told where to sit. So it’s either this program… or I’ll be on my hands and knees with index cards and round circles cut out of construction paper, haha.
we’re doing escort cards attached to the favors. they’ll be assigned tables but not assigned seating.
We were planning on using escort cards and a seating chart. I would love, love, love this!!! Did I mention that I would love this ?
We’re planning to do escort cards with a decorative paper to indicate the meal selection, thanks to Mrs. Lemon’s idea!
Ooh, this would be great! I was planning to use escort cards, wedshare “seating chart,” and spreadsheet or hand drawn
I have no idea what we’re going to do. Hoping my mom comes up with an amazing plan!
me please!
We’re planning on doing escort cards, with colored ribbons denoting the meal choice.
escort cards, and a spreadsheet master. excel, anyone?
we are doing a ribbon board in our colors and then escort cards…the idea came from martha stewart and the confidence to add one more diy project came from mrs. pumpkin! also, we are having in the little envelopes the share-your-photos cards, and that idea came from mrs. lemon! it is amazing how weddingbee is helping all our wedding details come together!
escort cards that assign ppl to a table. ppl can then choose to sit wherever they want at that table. we’re doing those mini envelopes with a card inside.
We will have escort and placecards.. they’ll be color coded somehow to denote meal choice, but we haven’t worked out any of the exact details yet!
Haven’t done seating yet, but this would be SO helpful when the time comes!!!
We are doing place cards at specific seats for our long, banquet-style tables of 32. There will be a seating chart outside the main room.
Table cards…Yes, I need them! Count me in for the contest, this could make it really fun for my fiance because it is computer related!
We’re planning to do escort cards (DIY). This would be super helpful!
We’re directing people to their table using placecards, then letting them choose their own seat at the table. We’ll have about 20 tables so this program would be great!
Oh my word, I need this program. We don’t know how our seating will go yet, but I’ve got 2 bands! I guess that isn’t a consolation. Oh well it was worth a shot.
We’ll be doing escort “boards”. The names and table numbers will be printed out on a white damask vellum paper and placed in a large vintage, gold frame. The guest will find their name and be able to go to the table from there. I want them to chose their seats because honestly, they’ll make themselves comfortable no matter what! Happy planning, Ladies!
Ours is a free-for-all, but I could really use the software for our 100 person assigned-seating rehearsal dinner!
This software sounds really cool. I could really use something like this.
I’m just doing table cards and letting guests seat themselves, but with over 300 people coming to the wedding, I could really use this program!! Thanks!!
we’re doing numbers that are important to us. . . ie 3025 = our address, 12 = july 12 is the day we got engaged, 23= date parties attended together in college, etc.
we haven’t figured out how we’re going to post our cards yet - but we’re excited to come up with something different and unique!
Ironically enough, I was just looking at the perfect table software last night - I need it so badly - we’re having a tented reception with over 300 people — uuuggghhh = nightmare planning the seating! I could really use it!!
We’re doing long tables with almost 200 guests so we definitely need to have placecards/seating chart, etc =).
PLACE CARDS PLACE CARDS PLACE CARDS!
We’re planning to use escort cards. Although if the software is a helpful as the bees are saying, then maybe I will want to assign everyone a seat!
we are having 50+ people so everyone can sit where they wish with the exception of the wedding party which will only be me, him, the parents, best man, and maid of honor.
We would put this to good use for our wedding. We are just in the process of figuring seating out as we get the RSVPs coming in. We plan on using escort cards and table numbers but let guest choose their own seat at the table.
escort cards. but knowing our guests, it’ll probably end up being a free for all!
We are doing escort cards and favors in one! Flip Flop Wine glass coasters will also hold piece of paper with the guest’s name and which table (our favorite beach names) to go to.
Escort cards and place cards!
What cool software! We’re doing escort cards.
We are trying to keep things simple and basically have ended up with a “free for all” since our budget constraints prevent us from doing things like escort cards, etc. Perfect Table Plan would help reign in the chaos!
This program sounds amazing and so helpful! I’m currently planning on doing escort cards to get everyone to the right table but then let them choose where to sit. Another option would be an escort “board” which is a similar effect. Either way, this program would be SO helpful!
An escort card (a coaster with name, table number, and on the back, our donation favor) will direct people to the correct table. There are 5 long tables (seating approximately 40 people each). On the tables there will be wine bottles with the table number (Martha’s idea). Since the tables are long - there will be many bottles per table stating the table number. Once people arrive to their table, there is assigned seating (it is too hard to seat yourself at long tables). Their placecards have their names on linen style paper in thermography with one of three motifs from our wedding (grapes, olives, leaves). The place cards are either orange (beef), yellow (fish), or green (veggie) so the servers know what they ordered - these also go with the wedding colors. These placecards will be held up by two corks (we are getting married at a vineyard).
I would like to win this one please.
Oh my goodness! I just began to look at our seating arrangements and would LOVE to have this software. I already got so overwhelmed I stopped working on it!
we’re doing place cards, but this tool would be so useful!
Definitely escort cards - coming up with a cute way to display them that matches our theme has been tough, I’m sure assigning the tables is going to be even tougher…but this program would definitely make it easier!
We will be doing escort cards for what looks to be our 350+ guests….aaack!
I am having my fiance deal with the drama of seating everyone lol let him stress over that while i handle everything else
i will try to design the placecards from my invitation patters - my dream is for them to look like a little book (or maybe their menus)…i LOVE minatures
OMG I need this!!!!!
I’ve been having a terrible time doing seating…I’ve tried doing a makeshift seating chart in Excel but really it’s not very good at all.
We’re assigning tables and using escort cards that say each guest’s name, table #, and color code for meal choice, we’re going to DIY them out of tea forte tea bags of all different flavors.
i think we’re just doing a seating chart but…that could always change.
We’re doing escort cards that may double as favors (or the favors might double as centerpieces; not sure yet!), with table numbers on the tables, but the guests will be able to sit wherever they like at the tables. I’m already scared of the headache this process is going to induce!
would love to have this software, don’t know how t seat 200 guests.
We’re assigning tables, but not seats.
This software sounds like it would save a lot of time and stress!
I need this so BAD! My weddins is next month and I am stressing over the table planning!!!! PLEASE HELP!
I am thinking escort cards, but I am going to need any help I can get!
The use of escort cards are not famous in the country where we are going to be wed and that software will certainly be a useful tool to help us make the seating arrangement as organized as possible.
I currently have a gigantic sheet of graph paper with all of the measurements of the reception area and little cut-outs of tables that I’m using to find the perfect arrangment of tables in our oddly-shaped venue. I would love to get my dining room table back and put that darn chart in the recycling!! For the wedding, we’re going the good ‘ol escort card route for our 350+ guests. There is a gorgeous wrought iron gate leading into our reception venue and we will be weaving twine in and out of the gate and affixing the seating cards with miniature clothespins. I’m super excited, but boy oh boy would this program make the process even more enjoyable!
I wanted to save money and combine the wedding favors and escort cards into one so i’m going to fill glass jars with lids with hershey kisses and tie a light green ribbon around it with a tag. on the front of the tag, it’ll have the guest’s name and name of table and on the back, we’ll have the “thank you for coming” line. two birds one stone. i love being efficient! this program will come in really handy because i want to seat all the non-party people towards the back so when they leave, it’ll be less noticable to us. yay~
We are having 250-260 people at our wedding and we will have moved to a new city (where our families live and where the wedding will be) 2 weeks beforehand and are hoping to get all our rsvps in the home we live in now before we move! If we could keep track with this software, that part of the chaos might be lessened, just a bit!
right now.. i’m doing it the old fashioned way.. post its.. drawing circles on a big card board.. so I think this would help me big time!!!
I have no idea how I’m organizing anything. Please help! I need this
We think we are doing favors with table cards on them. This would help so much!!
We are doing escort cards set on a table at the entrance to the tent. Tables will be assigned but not seats at the table. I would love to have a tool that would allow me to take at least some of the headache out of arranging everyone!
We haven’t decided which is better escort cards vs seating chart. Our wedding isn’t until next year so I’m hoping this would be one less stressful thing!
oh, i would so love this! we’re using table cards and possibly a chart as well.
We’re doing escort cards and place cards. No seating chart, but our wedding is small, only 60 people.
We’re doing escort cards - supported by elephant picture holders. That software would be great.
Oh, this would be SO helpful! I am planning on having escort cards to direct guests to their table and placecards attached to their favors. I will be doing a seating chart for 100-120 people, and I would love to try this software.
we will do escort cards for the reception, but also need a seating plan for our rehearsal dinner that will be more than 100 people big. help!
We are doing a seating chart and then place cards at the tables…this looks great!
We are using escort cards that will be pocket folders to hold our guest keepsakes from our photobooth. The photobooth pic size folder will have the guest name and table number as well as instructions to capture the moment in the booth and keep pic safe in folder. We will also have place cards at tables to keep guests in order!
There are so many great ideas here! I’m not far enough into my planning to have settled on an idea just yet, but definitely escort cards with some creative touch — perhaps tiny replicas of chinese takeout boxes with instructions on the other side to visit our chinese candy buffet at the end of the evening. We’re having a 350 person wedding, so this software will come in mighty handy!
Just table cards but this whole table-seating scheme is just so stressful! We’re currently putting together our seating arrangements for our July wedding and this software would definitely help.
ahhhh…..just another thing I still haven’t figured it out yet!!
We’re assigning tables. I use a mac and I’ve seen many free options online for PC but none that really work for macs. This would make my life so much easier!
I’m using escort cards to direct guests to their table…and I would LOVE this.
This couldn’t have come at a better time! We are doing escort cards. I’m just overwhelmed by the process though because my mom, her new boyfriend whom noone likes, my stepdad (mom’s husband number 2 of 3) and his wife, my stepmom (dad is deceased) and my half sister will ALL be at our wedding. To say I am stressed about the family dynamics and how to keep them away from each other would be an understatement.
My long tables are going to look fabulous but I have no idea how to handle the seating! The venue requires place cards but I will have to figure out some type of escort card system as well, maybe dividing the tables…. I have no idea how to start a seating chart for this!
This would be perfect for me!! We are doing a seating chart for everyone and I will be enlarging it and placing it in a vintage frame. This program would help a ton ~ actually was just talking to my wedding planner and saying this would be a great asset to all brides.
This would be great! We are having our reception on a boat with long, skinny tables. The staff will look up the guests names as they arrive to the boat and escort them to where to sit.
This would be very helpful for us. I’m a bit overwhelmed with our huge 300+ guest list and this would totally help me keep organized. we are looking to assign table, maybe escort cards.
we’re having escort cards approx. 300 guests. this would help us out oh so much!! i promise to post about using the software!
We would love this! We are seating people in one or two rooms of a historic house using a master list identifying their table and a card at their place setting.
escort cards
table cards
escort cards - but i need major help, so this software would be the perfect assistant!
We’re doing escort cards, with table numbers, but not assigned seats. I would love to have a program like this, just to keep track of who has RSVPed, and how to organize the tables.
we are using escort cards.
omg… this would be awesome!!!
Please pick me - we are working on the seating chart right now. We are doing escort cards and the tables are named after places we have vacationed together (ex. Aruba, San Juan, etc)
We are doing escort cards….telling the guest which tables to seat at and then they get to decide where at the table. The cards will be color coated to tell what each person ordered for dinner. This program would help a lot!
We’ll be doing escort cards!
i really don’t know what to do yet! this software would help so much…maybe escort and table cards??
We’ll be doing individual placecards for the seated dinner and having a more relaxed, mingling dessert course!
I would looooove this software so much! You would not believe how helpful this kind of tool can be. We had a seating software at the restaurant that I used to work at and as a hostess, things got pretty tricky. Thanks to our planning software, we always found a way to make it work.
this would be wonderful!!
Oh how I have been eyeing this!! I need help! I’m doing escort, place and table cards….
Oh my. Looks like i have some homework… didn’t know there were three diff types of place cards! Definitely assigning tables, still deciding if we’re going to assign specific seats! This would be lovely!
Well, since we’re doing long banquet tables, we’re going to be doing escort cards to lead people to tables, but not specific seats. Or maybe we will do seats. I’m not entirely sure yet. But I know that this software would help me figure it out, because I’m having a hard time visualizing our reception room and how to place the banquet tables in it and still keep them good with the stage for the band.
Hope I win!
I’m deciding between free for all and placecards. We’re doing two rows of long rectangular tables, so it’s going to be intimately chaotic!
Probabaly escrow cards! I haven’t decided whether I wanted rectangular or round tables yet
Lucky 366!
We’re both librarians, so I’m gluing book pockets and cards to a heavy matte board, with a name on each card. As our guests pull the card out, their table will be specified according to Library of Congress classification - Fiction, Poetry, etc. I think it might be my favorite part of the planning process - only I’m dreading the seating chart and hoping the software can help!
We’re doing assigned tables but not seating so we will have escort cards.
The best way to handle seating drama/family politics (*insert cry of misery here*) would be to stick my head in the ground like an ostrich and act like if I can’t see it, it isn’t happening.
Tried that. Excel is a meany because I suck at using it.**FAIL** What’s a girl to do? I’m here to beg!
We’re probably going to go with escort cards or just have one large poster directing everyone to their table, we haven’t yet decided. I think this is the best compromise so that guests will be happy and we’ll have less of a headache trying to decide who sits where.
We’re going to have escort cards and just thinking of the seating arrangements makes me nervous! I would love to win this!
I would looooove this software. I’m trying to plan a wedding in the US while living in Scotland. We’re hoping to have three very long tables seating 40 people each. We’re going to use escort cards featuring the table number and then place cards so people know where to sit.
we’re using escort cards, and with all the different group of friends and family we have, this software would be great in organizing the tables!
I haven’t truly decided yet. I’ve been told to do a free for all, but I really love the seating arrangement idea for some reason! More on the traditional side, and more work for me to do I guess!
Right now, I’m hoping to wake up one morning soon to find that the Table Plan Fairy has totally created a seating plan for me! If that doesn’t happen, I’m hoping to win this Perfect Table Plan Software so I can do it myself!
We’re going to use Escort Cards. This software looks like it will work wonders for us!
please!
Escort Cards and then a table map since we are naming our tables after states!
We are using escort cards based on the marine signal flag alphabet. Each guest will pick up a flag with their name on it, and match it to flags at each placesetting at the tables. (I admit we’ve completely ripped this from the incredible Rebecca Thuss and her website, which I believe Miss Cupcake posted a link to some time ago. It fits our not-to-themey but feels-like-Annapolis wedding) But with 200 people, software like this would be great! Please pick me?!
I was planning on using good old excel. I’m sure this software will make my life a lot easier…especially since I have more than 400 ppl coming to my wedding….ekkkk
I’m stealing some knotties great idea of having names and table numbers printed on vellum and wrapped around votive candle holders– place cards, table decor and favor all in one! But I have NO idea how to do the seating charts– help!
OMG I desperately need this!!! I am doing place cards and table numbers.
We are having movie ticket escort cards to go with our movie poster programs. 
But, I have a filling that my very complicated family and future family are going to be difficult to please when it comes to seating arrangements. The invites aren’t even out yet and I’m dreading this task. 
Me, please!
I think we’re going to do table cards but I’m not sure. We haven’t finalized any of our reception details yet.
We’re assigning table #’s and not individual seats.
our families are so complicated, we’re just assigning people to tables and then letting them fight it out. We could really use this program to help keep the catfights at bay!
We’re leaning toward having escort cards.
I plan to use escort cards - those are the one that just tell you which table, right? I figure they can figure out seating on their own and save me some time.
What’s the difference between escort cards and table cards? We’re doing cards with table numbers, and then they can figure it all out themselves once they get to the right table. This software is great!
I’ve been playing with the trial version and would love the real thing!
We are doing little “seats” (escort cards) for all of our guests. They will be white cardstock chairs with their names on vellum. I am putting a sign that says “please take a seat” I love the way that looks, and this program will help me organize my seating arragements.
What a great program! Escort cards.
not sure yet - escort cards? maybe this would help decide…
please please!!!
I would love this program! After finishing my guest list I am dreading table assignments. I know this would help.
Right now its a debate between free-for-all and table charts! Thanks for the opportunity.
Please! We have 300+ guests, and I’m getting a headache just considering how to seat them all…
we’re doing placecards but oh how this would help with all our families ideosychracies about who cant sit with who, thanks!!!!!
so cool. and perfect timing as we’re doing our seating chart next week!
I’d love to do a free for all… but I know 90% of my guests would complain.
So their going to sit where I tell them!
Now, I need one of those so I can do it with out pulling out all my grown out wedding hair!
We’re attaching tags to wine splits when they enter - I just have to figure out where to put them!
we’re doing escort cards and place cards because we have meal choices and have to give the staff the list, but as of now I have no idea how to approach the seating arrangements. This would be so helpful!
I think we’ll have escort cards that assign people to tables, but not seats. Yow, I’d love to win this!
Oh help me I would love one!
please please! my family is super complicated and this would help soooo much!
We are doing assigned seats but instead of escort cards with the necessary time sink, we are doing table cards.
This software would come in handy, especially for those “divorced” guests I need to separate in the room. We are doing formal escort cards and placecards for each guest on the table. I’d like for couples to sit across from each other.
This will be sooooo great since I’m having 2 receptions! Most likely just doing seating charts and maybe escort cards?? I don’t know!!
We’re making 2 seating charts and putting them in gold frames to match our pink and gold colors. We have about 360 guests, and an extremely large portion of that is the groom’s catholic family, who are all very political about who they sit next to. This software would be extremely helpful!
Likely escort cards-but we are still trying to figure out table configurations. This software seems like it would be pretty helpful!
his family is all about drama… I however would like to avoid as much of that as possible the day of.
I believe this may help remove some of the headache for me!
I am thinking of hanging our escort cards from a ribbon wall. We’ll see how that goes.
That would be fabulous. Our invitations are going out soon and I don’t even want to think about what a nightmare the seating will be! We’re going to do placecards.
I think I will have the guests come up to a table of helpers that will tell them which table they are assigned to. At the table there will be a table number with our guests names on them, but they will be able to choose which seats to sit in. This software would be an AMAZING help as we anticipate there will be about at the very LEAST 300 guests!!
Escort cards!
we are doing old fashioned usher seating at the wedding - guests come in - sign the fabric - and get a real person to lead them to their seats =) the hardest part of seating and arranging is marrying (no pun intended) the two cultures and people that may or may not want to sit next to each other for language barrier reasons.
Would love this for such an interestign Layout of a reception site. Newberry Library!!!
I am doing escort cards with little bell ornaments since my fiance proposed on December 1st with a beautifully engraved bell ornament. This software would be EXTREAMLY helpful and make this bride to be really happy.
We will be doing table cards for 250 guests that indicate their dinner choice. I definately need something to keep me organized.
This would be so helpful for us as our plan has changed a dozen times and I’m very unorganized now!
I think we’re doing escort cards - I just have to figure out how to keep them from blowing away!
We have finally decided. Escort Cards!
This seems like an OCD brides’ dream come true! We have 250 guests from all walks of life and my most important reception tasks seem to be making sure Groomie’s rowdy frat brothers don’t sit with our church friends & both of our single (and ready to mingle) dads don’t find a seat near our young female friends. *wink wink* = ) It’s been a real circus, but should be an interesting evening. We plan to use place cards to designate tables and let our guests sit where their tush desires.
My wedding will have about 250 people, so I think I’ll definitely need escort cards and place cards! Perfect Table Plan sure would keep me sane!
Oh what a lifesaver! I’m about a month away and I’m starting to seriously stress out. This would be oh so helpful!
with 300 guests — we have yet to figure out how to seat everyone and organize things! all we know is that there will be placecards for everyone to pick up when they walk in — but we have to figure out where they’re sitting first! this would be a lifesaver
I honestly am doing a free-for-all because I felt like assigning seats would be a daunting task. However, a program like this may change my mind.
My OCD-self would totally LOVE this program! We are using escort “cards” that are really going to be hand-made paper flowers with names and table numbers on the leaves and placed in wheat grass. We will also have seating place-cards on small sticks put into ferrero rocher candies. We are currently considering table chart but not sure if it is necessary since we have 175-200 guests. thanks!!
we’re doing table cards, but not assigning actual seats. we haven’t done our table assignments yet though, so this software would be very helpful for us!
I KNOW this will help with so much of this wedding planning stress! And anyone who knows me, know I need all the help I can get!
Yes, this would be so incredibly helpful! The RSVPs are already coming back and we need to start thinking about the seating chart. We would put this to great use! Pick me!!!
i think we’re doing a seating chart and placecards where they are sitting since we’re doing long tables…(although to be honest, i don’t know what an escort card is…)
escort cards
escort cards!
Our tables will be named after our favorite places within the city we live in. Guests names will be on a votive candle holder with their table name.
We are having a seat-your-self but my problem is fitting so many people in a small area and still have room for a dance floor and a picture booth. This is hard!
We’re having table cards but can’t seem to think of a fun, original way to display them. All the bees have such great ideas!
If this is still open, I’d love to be considered!! An Irish/Italian wedding has lots of seating considerations!
We’re doing escort cards, but I have no idea how it’s going to work out yet!
oh me plz!
I’m doing table cards.
We will be doing escort cards! Too many people for a free for all and personal enough for everyone to think they were thought of during the planning!
We will have table “cards” due to limited space.
what a great idea!!!
We are letting our guests know what table their at, but then it’s their decision what seat to sit in… I think people will enjoy sitting where the want at the table, esp when they’re named after moves & Broadway shows
I have to have it, it will really make my life very easy. I am aslo doing assigned seating.
Escort cards though a free for all is sounding pretty good about now!
Oh, I want it! I am thinking “free for all” at this moment because we only have 50-60 people attending and it’s informal.
please for the love of god, choose me.
We are planning to do assigned tables, but not assigned seats. If the free-for-all method didn’t seem too uncomfortable for some folks, I’d be tempted to leave it up to our guests, but I don’t want any “odd-men-out” that night. PS. Perfect Table Plan looks like a dream!
relaxed style: buffet with open seating.
Escort cards with table numbers…I’ve been drooling over all the creative ways to do this for months!!
Escort Cards seem more reasonable for our day. But for a wedding our size I couldn’t imagine assigning seats without a major headache and some BIG help! HELLO….my new friend PERFECT TABLE PLAN!
I was going to go for the free for all, but I wa surprised to learn (as many others have said) that people like being told where to sit. Who knew? I thought it was sort of bridezilla-ish to make people sit somewhere? I think we’re planning on doing escort cards now, because a seating chart would make me feel to demanding. This software would really help!
I would LOVE this tool!
I’ve got 250+ guest to manage. This tool would be so helpful. I’ll be using a combo of table and escort cards to inform guest where they should be sitting
this would be perfect as i’m trying to figure out the seating arrangement now!
We are going to use the software that came with our website service… IDK how good it is… but we’ll see.
We’re going with escort cards and table numbers. We’ve got about 250 people, so I know I need some help so the software would be fantastic.
I’m planning on escort cards and table numbers to handle the mob.
this is perfect for my clients! i would strongly recommend to them! if i have it, i’ll definatly tour this to them!!
350 people…yikes! We’ll be doing escort cards AND a seating chart.
250 people, seated in round tables, along with escort cards is a small situation that i’d like a little electronic help with.
Mee Mee! I would love to have a seating plan software to help me plan my big day. My venue is undergoing major renos right now, so I’ll be doing last minute seating plans. I need all the help I can get
469~!
I’m not sure what the difference is between escort cards and seating cards, but I think we’re going to have a tiny envelope for each person with their table number on a card inside. Then they can sit wherever they want at the table.
My head is spinning. Maybe this would help?
We will be using skeleton keys tied with blue ribbon and a note with their name and table. Our guests will later use this key to select which charity they would like to donate to (instead of favors). They will hang their key on one of six pegs for the six different non profits we have chosen.
how awesome is this?!!!!
