Placecard makes planning who-sits-where the easy, even enjoyable, part of your event. Whether it's a wedding, a big birthday, a gala or a family dinner, Placecard lets you build your guest list, design your tables exactly as the room will look, and drag each guest into their seat - all on a calm, beautiful canvas. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Guest list done properly - track RSVPs, group guests (bride's side, work friends, family…), and add plus-ones and dietary notes. • Design your real room - round and rectangular tables, any number of seats, arranged just like the venue. • Drag-and-drop seating - tap or drag a guest into a seat; plus-ones sit together automatically, and you can swap a pair in one tap. • Keeps the peace - set "must sit together" and "keep apart" rules, and Placecard flags any seating that breaks them. • Try different plans - save multiple layouts (Plan A, Plan B…) and compare them side by side. • Share it beautifully - export a seating chart or printable place card
Wedding Seating Chart

Compare seating versions before the final chart reaches your venue. Wedding Seating Chart: Compare turns your guest list and table setup into a clear, versioned reception plan. Build the first arrangement, duplicate it when RSVPs or family plans change, and see exactly who moved between versions. PLAN THE TABLES Add round, rectangular or head tables, set capacity, and arrange them to match the reception. Assign guests by tap or drag, keep unseated names visible, and find any guest in seconds. CHECK THE DETAILS Record parties, RSVP status, meals, accessibility notes, together rules and apart rules. This app flags capacity and guest-rule conflicts using only the information you enter. It never makes etiquette, accessibility or venue-compliance decisions for you. COMPARE REVISIONS Duplicate a sent baseline before making changes. Compare two named versions to see moved, added and removed guests, changed tables, new findings and resolved findings. Last-minute edits stay explainable instead of disappearing into a spreadsheet. HAND OFF A CLEAR PACKET Export a table diagram, per-table lists, an alphabetical guest lookup, meal and accessibility notes, findings, a version-change page and printable place cards. Everything is designed for a practical handoff to a planner, venue or caterer. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account is required. Guest and event data stay in local app storage unless you choose to export or share a file. There are no ads, invitations, public RSVP pages or remote AI. Free includes one event, 40 guests, five tables, two seating versions and a packet with a small footer. Pro unlocks unlimited events, guests, tables and versions, clean vendor packets, CSV exports, templates and advanced revision output. Some features require an in-app purchase. There is no free trial.
