Frequently asked questions

It's a web app for planning event seating. You draw your venue to scale, add your guest list, and arrange who sits where — by hand or with AI help — then print name labels, place cards, and QR codes that guests scan to find their seat.

Yes. The Free plan lets you build one event with up to 50 guests and includes a handful of AI generations each month — no credit card required. Upgrade only when you need more.

Celebration is a one-time payment (not a subscription) designed for a single big event. It unlocks larger guest counts, sharing, QR place cards, and premium themes for 12 months — enough time to plan the event, print everything, and keep your QR seat pages live on the day. After 12 months the account gracefully returns to Free; your events are never deleted.

Celebration is one event, one time. Pro is a monthly or annual subscription for people who host or plan repeatedly — unlimited events, unlimited guests, more AI, multiple editors, and priority support. If you're planning one wedding, Celebration is usually the better value; if you run events all year, go Pro.

No. Scanning a place card's QR code opens a public page with that guest's table, a map of the room, and who they're seated with — no app to download and no sign-in. It's designed to work instantly on any phone.

No. The public seat page only ever shows guest names and table assignments. Dietary notes, RSVP status, gift records, and everything else you track stay private to you and anyone you explicitly invite.

Yes. On paid plans you can invite people by email as viewers (they can look but not change anything) or, on Pro, as editors who can make changes alongside you. Everyone sees the same live plan — no more emailing screenshots back and forth.

You can print a final seating chart, a tiled floor plan, color-coded name labels, guest-facing place cards, a caterer's dietary sheet, an unseated/unconfirmed chase list, and a thank-you checklist. Labels and place cards use standard Avery sheet layouts, and there's a calibration sheet to check your printer's alignment first. Everything prints from your browser or saves as a PDF.

You describe your preferences in plain English — keep families together, respect the head table, seat certain people apart — and the AI drafts complete arrangements you can compare and tweak. Each plan includes a monthly allowance of AI generations (which also covers floor-plan parsing and theme design); your current usage is always visible in Settings.

Any time. From Settings you can export all of your events to a single JSON file as an offline backup you fully control, and import it back later.
