How to create a formal dinner seating plan

Paste the guest list with ranks, specify the host and guest of honour, and the tool arranges seats by precedence, alternating sides around the table.

A simple text list of names and titles, and the names of the host and guest of honour. No special formatting required.

Use clear rank titles (e.g., Professor, Dean, Vice‑President) and keep each entry on its own line for accurate ordering.

Can I change the order after the plan is generated?

Yes, edit the guest list or ranks and regenerate the plan.

What format should the guest list be in?

Enter each guest on a separate line with their rank, like "Dr. Alice Smith – Professor".

Is this tool free?

Yes, it is completely free and requires no signup.
