Is there a free app that can create a wedding seating chart?

You do not need paid software to make a seating chart. Many people use a spreadsheet, which lets you drag names around and see the whole list at once. You can colour code guests by table or group to spot imbalances quickly.

Some free tools offer drag-and-drop tables, but they may limit how many guests you can add or how many tables you can design. Test these before you commit your full list. If you prefer a visual approach, draw your room on squared paper and use sticky notes or printed name cards to move people around.

Keep a master copy of your guest list separate from your seating plan. This means you can update one without losing the other. Save your work regularly and back it up on your phone or cloud storage.

Whatever tool you choose, print a final version for the venue and keep a digital copy for yourself. If the venue has specific table shapes or sizes, note these in your plan so your layout matches reality.
