🚫 Managing Declined Guests & Filtering Seats in Your Floor Plan

Keeping your floor plan accurate as RSVPs come in doesn't have to mean manually double-checking every seat. TTO automatically flags guests whose attendance status has changed, and gives you powerful filtering tools to manage your seating list with ease.

⚠️ Handling Guests Who've Declined

If you've already seated a guest and their RSVP status later changes to declined, TTO automatically flags this for you with a Guest Attendance Change notification. This lets you know that a specific guest — for example, someone sitting in seat 1.2 & a.3 — is no longer attending, even though they're still shown as seated.

To remove them from their seat:

  • Click the X next to their name

  • The guest will be instantly removed from that seat, freeing it up for someone else

This ensures no seat stays taken up by a guest who isn't actually coming, so your floor plan always reflects who's really attending.

🔍 Filtering Your Guest List

Within the Guests tab of your floor plan, you'll find the Allocate Seat section, along with a filter option that lets you control exactly how your guest list is displayed while seating.

Include filters let you narrow the list down to:

  • Only guests who are attending the wedding

  • Only guests with a specific tag

Sort options let you organize the list by:

  • Alphabetical order

  • Household

  • Unassigned guests

  • Assigned guests

💡 Tip: Want to quickly see which guests still need a seat? Choose the Unassigned sorting option — every guest without an assigned seat will move to the top of the list, making it easy to finish seating everyone.

🎉 Why This Matters

Together, these tools help keep your seating chart clean and accurate — no more wondering whether a seated guest is actually still coming, and no more scrolling to find who's left to seat.
