Wedding Seating Chart Without Spreadsheet Hell

The problem

You've got 80 guests, 8 tables, dietary restrictions, family dynamics, and a group chat with 47 "where am I sitting?" messages. Spreadsheets in Google Docs, Excel on your laptop, screenshots in WhatsApp—nothing stays in one place. And figuring out who sits where is a puzzle that takes hours.

The solution

Brunchie gives you a visual seating chart that lives in your hangout. Add tables, set capacities, drag guests to seats—or let auto-assign figure it out for you. Share one link. Guests see their table assignment. No spreadsheet, no digging through emails.

Step 1: Create your hangout

Start with the "A Dream Wedding" template. It includes a seating chart section ready to go.

Step 2: Set up your tables

Add tables and set how many seats each one has. Name them ("Table 1," "Head Table," "Kids' Table") so guests and the venue know the layout.

Step 3: Add seating preferences

This is where it gets smart. Tell Brunchie:

• Must sit together — Couples, families, friend groups
• Keep apart — The exes, the feuding uncles, the coworkers who shouldn't be at the same table
• Dietary groupings — Seat vegans together so the venue can serve whole tables efficiently
• Accessibility — Flag guests who need accessible seating (near the entrance, wheelchair-friendly)

Step 4: Auto-assign

Tap auto-assign. Brunchie runs an algorithm that respects all your preferences and places guests at the best-fit table. If someone can't be placed (not enough seats, conflicting rules), you'll see exactly who and why—then adjust manually.

Step 5: Keep it in one place

Your seating chart lives next to your RSVP poll, itinerary, and expense tracker. One hangout. One link. No spreadsheet hell.
