Start with households, not scattered messages.
Keep the people invited together in one household while retaining each person’s own reply and meal details. Import a guest CSV with a validation preview, or add households yourself.
Review possible duplicates before merging households. Similar names are a reason to check—not a reason to assume two people are the same.
Give every guest a place.
Configure table names, capacities and shapes, then assign or move guests as the room takes shape. See who is still unseated without keeping a second spreadsheet.
This is a planning tool, not a venue-certified floor plan. Confirm room dimensions, access routes and actual table capacities with your venue.
Keep useful details with the right person.
Meal choices and dietary notes belong beside individual guests. With Complete, online RSVP answers feed into the plan. Planner can be used for organisation without live guest links.
Treat dietary details with care. Confirm requirements with guests and your caterer; the journal does not assess allergens or replace catering safety procedures.
