How to Create a Seating Plan
Turn confirmed attendance into a measured room layout and a reviewable set of table assignments.
Start with the room
Enter measured room dimensions and identify fixed features with the venue. Add tables and a dance floor using real sizes, then check capacity against the named attendees rather than the invited household total.
Use the edit and publication stages
Press Edit layout to move and pinch-resize items. Long press opens table settings. Save the layout with Done editing; publishing is a separate step for updating guest-visible seating.

A 48-guest dinner
Six tables of eight provide 48 places. If only 45 guests are confirmed, review family groups before distributing the three spare places. Check the room with the venue before publishing the final assignments.
