🖨️ Export Your Floor Plan

To export your floor plan, open the export modal and choose the format that fits your needs. You can export either a detailed PDF or a visual-only image.

When exporting, you’ll be able to choose:
• The export format (PDF or Image)
• The meal course to display in the PDF
• Whether you’d like to preview the file before downloading
• The image resolution for image exports

📄 Full Floor Plan PDF

The PDF export creates a complete, structured version of your floor plan designed for planning and coordination.

Your PDF includes:
• The full floor plan layout
• Table numbers and seating assignments
• Guest meal choices (starter, main, or dessert)
• A multi-page format suitable for sharing or printing

This option is best used when you need seating and meal details for vendors or final confirmations.

🖼️ Canvas Image Only

The image export captures only what is visible on the canvas.

Your image export includes:
• The visual layout and furniture placement
• Design elements only
• No guest names, table numbers, or meal information

This option works best for presentations, inspiration, or sharing the layout without logistical details.

✨ Choosing the Right Export

If you need detailed guest and meal information, the full floor plan PDF is the right choice. If you only need a clean visual of the layout, the canvas image export is the better option.

Note: Export performance depends on your device’s available memory and processing power. Larger or more detailed floor plans may take longer to generate, and in some cases may not export successfully on lower-performance devices. For the best experience, we recommend closing other applications and using a device with sufficient memory when exporting complex floor plans.

🍽️ What Your PDF Includes

Your export isn’t just a simple layout - it’s a fully structured, multi-page document designed for real wedding planning.

📍 Page 1: Full Floorplan Overview

The first page shows your entire floorplan, with seats colour-coded based on the main meal selections. This gives your caterers and venue an instant understanding of the entire room.

📊 Page 2: Summary Page

This page includes a clear breakdown of:
• Total number of guests
• Number of tables
• Total number of seats
• Meal counts
• Highlighted allergies or dietary restrictions (including table location)

Perfect for venues and catering teams.

🔤 Page 3: Alphabetical Guest List

An alphabetical list of every guest - ideal for:
• Place cards
• Escort cards
• Seating check-in
• Helping guests locate their seat

🍽️ Page 4+: Table-by-Table Breakdown

Each table includes:
• Guests listed in seat order
• Meal codes
• Special notes

🔍 Zoomed Table View

Every table has a zoomed-in version showing a colour-coded key so staff know exactly where guests with dietary needs are sitting.

A full example export can be downloaded inside the tool.

📥 Why This Export Helps

• Easy for caterers to plan meals
• Streamlines venue setup
• Reduces seating errors
• Perfect for planners and coordinators
• Professional and print-ready

Everything is organised automatically so you don’t have to create separate documents.
