If you're not sure where to begin, don't worry we've got you covered with some expert advice on creating seating charts.
Ready to build your seating chart? Awesome - use the steps below to get started!
Step 1:
Head to Seating Chart on the Zola iOS App.
You will see the option to try it for free (for up to 15 Guests), or unlock the Premium Version to add more Guests.
Step 2:
Let's get started! Choose the event this seating chart will be used for. These are the events your Guests are invited to.
Step 3:
Once you selected the event you're creating a seating chart for, you’ll launch our Seating Chart tool.
You can add as many sets of tables and chairs as you need, and customize the shape too! Don't worry if you add too many or not enough, you can add or remove tables later.
Once your Guests tables are added, you'll be prompted to add in the optional final details, such as; including adding a dance floor, gifts table &/or a cake table.
Step 4:
Now the fun begins! You’ll see the floor plan, and can begin to sit your Guests. Tap on a table, click the pencil icon, and select 'add Guests' to fill the empty seats.
When you’re finished and ready to use your seating chart you can download it as a PDF or Excel Sheet to print, or have handy on your phone or tablet.
A few things to keep in mind:
- The Seating Chart is only available on the Zola iOS app at this time
- If you need your Guests to sit in a specific seat at the table, you can drag and drop them around the table as needed
- From the Floor Plan you can add additional seating, audio/video, doors and any necessary event tables
- Everything on the Floor Plan can be moved around as needed
