Table Planner — Free Online Table Planner
A table planner keeps your guest list, tables, and seating assignments together. An online table planner lets you test arrangements as RSVP responses change and share the finished plan with your venue.
What is a table planner?
A table planner is a tool for assigning guests to tables and keeping track of where everyone sits. It replaces paper notes and spreadsheets with a visual view of your venue.
An online table planner saves changes as you work, so you can continue from a computer, tablet, or phone without starting again.
Which table planner features do you need?
- Visual room and tables — choose round, long, or square tables and set their capacity.
- Drag and drop — move guests between tables without rewriting lists.
- Guest list import — bring names, groups, and dietary notes in from a CSV file from Excel.
- Groups and notes — keep families together and give the kitchen a clear dietary overview.
