Seating is the worst job in planning any event, and every app built for it makes you do the work yourself. They hand you a floor plan and a hundred little name circles to drag around. Seated does the opposite. You tell it who must sit together and who must not, and it produces the plan. A wedding, a gala, a company dinner, a conference, a fundraiser, a birthday — if people have to sit somewhere, and it matters where, this is for that. THREE TABS: PLAN, HALL, GUESTS Add tables on Plan. Arrange the room in Hall — tap a table and put a name on each chair. Guests shows the same chairs, in seat order. A guest without a chair is not on the list. TWO KINDS OF RULE, AND NO MORE Must sit together. Must not share a table. That is the whole vocabulary, because a seating plan you cannot explain is one you cannot defend to the guest who asks why they are at table nine. A rule between two people applies to everyone they are grouped with, so keeping one half of a couple away from someone keeps the other half away too. IT WILL NOT QUIETLY BREAK A RULE This is the part that matters on the day. If Seated cannot honour every rule, it says which rule was the problem and names the people involved, and it leaves them unseated rather than putting them somewhere you forbade. It never fudges the arrangement to make the numbers work. It tells you what is wrong in plain words — that you are six seats short, that a family of nine will not fit on a table of eight, that two people are set both to sit together and to sit apart. ADD A GUEST WITHOUT LOSING YOUR PLAN A late RSVP does not reshuffle the other hundred and nineteen. Seated leaves everyone exactly where they were and finds room for the new arrival. You have already told those people where they are sitting. FOUR THINGS TO PRINT Table plan, for the venue and the caterer — every table with its guests and headcount. Find your table, for the board by the door — one alphabetical sheet, sorted by last name. Numbers — one page of headcounts per table for final numbers. Notes — dietary and allergy notes, grouped by table. All four come from the same plan, so they cannot disagree with each other. Reprint them as often as you like; the list will change again before the day. YOUR GUEST LIST STAYS ON YOUR PHONE A guest list is a map of a family. Who is divorced, who is not speaking, who cannot be near the bar. Every name, rule and table is kept on this device and is never uploaded. Signing in creates an account so the app knows whose list is whose — the list itself never leaves the phone, and there is no tracking and no analytics. PRICING Building the list, setting the tables, writing the rules and reading the finished plan are free, and stay free. The four printed documents are a single payment of $29.99 — no subscription, nothing to renew, nothing to cancel. The event happens once.
