The short answer
Build tables, drop guests onto them, and let the chart stay in sync with your RSVPs — when someone declines, their seat frees up. With Bloomvite, each guest's QR pass also shows their table, so check-in points them to their seat.
Start with fixed tables (head table, family), then group friends. Keep capacities visible so you don't over-seat. Because seating is tied to your RSVP list, you're never seating someone who isn't coming.
Frequently asked questions
When should I make my wedding seating chart?
After the RSVP deadline, once you know who's coming. A tool that links seating to RSVPs (like Bloomvite) makes last-minute changes painless.
