🖥️ Your Workspace
🖼️ Adjust Your Canvas Size
Your venue space may be large, small, or uniquely shaped - and your floorplan should match that.
In your settings, you can:
Expand or shrink the canvas
Adjust width and height
Create a layout that mirrors your real venue
A correctly sized canvas helps you build a realistic and accurate floorplan.
🎛️ Snap & Alignment Controls
To keep your layout clean and tidy, use snap and alignment settings.
These help you:
Keep tables evenly spaced
Align items perfectly
Make your layout symmetrical
It keeps everything visually organised without manual guessing.
🎨 Custom Table & Element Colors
You can now personalize the color of individual tables and elements on your floorplan, rather than being limited to default colors.
Click on a table, then under Colour in the settings panel:
Choose from a set of Suggested colours for a quick match
Click Edit to open the full Custom colour picker, where you can drag to select any shade, or enter a specific hex code (e.g.
#398D5A) for exact brand or theme matching
💡 Tip: Color-coding tables can be a helpful visual shorthand — for example, using different colors to distinguish VIP tables, family tables, or areas of your venue at a glance.
🏷️ Show or Hide Labels
Choose whether to display:
Table names
Area labels
Guest names
Seat numbers
Turning labels on helps when seating guests.
Turning them off helps when focusing on layout design.
🔦 Highlight Important Information
Use highlighting options to make planning easier. You can highlight:
Guests with dietary needs
Guests with mobility requirements
Special groups (e.g., children, VIPs)
This helps you make thoughtful seating decisions.
🪑 Chair & Table Display Options
Choose how detailed you want your tables to appear:
Show individual seats
Hide seats (table-only view)
Switch between simple and detailed layouts
This makes it easier to switch between design mode and seating mode.
👥 Guest View Preferences
Fine-tune how your guest panel behaves:
Sort guests alphabetically
Group by household
Filter by RSVP status
Filter by tags (family, friends, kids, etc.)
Your guestlist becomes easier to navigate - especially with large weddings.
📐 Grid & Measurement Options
For extra precision, enable:
Grid lines
Measurement guides
Spacing indicators
These tools help you build a layout that’s clean, proportional, and venue-accurate.
💾 Auto-Save & Version Control
Your seating chart saves automatically as you make changes.
Settings allow you to:
Restore previous versions
Turn autosave on/off (depending on your plan)
Review recent edits
You never lose your work, and you can always roll back if needed.
🎉 Why Seating Chart Settings Matter
Your settings help you customise your planning experience so it feels:
Smoother
Faster
More organised
More accurate
Less stressful
The better your settings match your style, the easier your entire layout process becomes.
