How do you make a wedding seating plan with photos?

A photo-based plan is visual and easy to share. Begin by photographing the room from above, or ask the venue for a floor plan image. You can also take a photo of your table plan board and add names with a photo editing app.

Many couples use a simple app to drag names onto a photo of the room. This lets you move people around until it feels right. If you prefer paper, print the photo large, then stick small name cards or photos of guests onto the tables. This is handy if you want to show the plan on a board at the wedding.

Once the plan is final, print it as a seating chart for the entrance, or use it to make table numbers and place cards. Share the photo with your planner, venue and family so everyone knows the layout. If you are unsure about any seating rule, such as where the bridal party sits, ask your planner or venue for advice.
