Capture who attends, who they should sit with, and access or mobility needs before you draw the table plan. A free seating preference form.
Quick answer
Capture who attends, who they should sit with, and access or mobility needs before you draw the table plan. A free seating preference form.
A seating plan fails on information you cannot see: who needs an aisle seat, who arrives with whom, which guests do not know anyone at their table. This form collects attendance, table groupings, conversation pairings and access needs per named guest.
The Guest Attendance and Seating Preference Form bridges the RSVP and the table plan. Respondents confirm attendance, name the guests they should sit with, flag people they would rather not be placed beside, and record mobility or access requirements.
Planners get a plan input that reflects relationships, not just headcount — which is what a seated wedding actually needs.
