Frequently asked questions
Can I set how many people sit at each table?
Yes. Choose your table sizes in the Options panel and guests are distributed to fill them.
Can I print place cards from this?
Export the chart as CSV and run a mail-merge in Google Docs or Word to produce place cards.
How random is the seating?
Assignments use the Web Crypto API for an unbiased shuffle, so the chart isn't predictable or weighted toward anyone.
Is my guest list kept private?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser and works offline — your guest list is never uploaded anywhere.
