For weddings, receptions, banquets and parties

The seating chart maker for weddings and events

Headtable is a seating chart app for iPhone and iPad. Build your guest list, drag guests onto tables, keep the right people together (and apart), collect RSVPs online, plan it with your partner, and print a finished chart, escort list and place cards. It's free for up to 50 seated guests, and Headtable Pro is a one-time purchase that seats everyone. No subscription, no account.

Features

Everything between the guest list and the place cards

Headtable does one job, seating, and does it properly: the room, the rules, the replies and the printouts.

Lay out the real room

Set up the room in one step: enter how many guests and the table size, and the tables appear. Enter the room's size to plan to scale, and Headtable flags tables that sit too close. Then drag each guest onto a seat, or let Auto-arrange fill the tables and fine-tune by hand.

  • Round, oval, square, head and sweetheart tables, and banquet tables up to 60 chairs
  • Chairs on one side only, or two tables joined into one
  • Dance floor, DJ booth, bar, cake table, gift table and stage
  • Mix up the seats for a fresh mix at a dinner party, with couples and families kept together
  • Unlimited undo, and a tray for unseated guests so nobody gets lost
  • Trace a photo of your venue under the plan (Pro)

Rules that remember

Keep couples together and exes apart. Headtable flags any table that breaks a rule, and Auto-arrange respects them.

RSVPs that answer themselves

Send each guest a private link. They reply in their browser, with no app or account: coming or not, their meal, allergies and a plus-one if you allow it.

Every table shows who sits there, with meals and dietary needs. Color-code the printed chart by meal.

Plan together

Invite your partner, a parent or your planner. Everyone edits the same plan from their own phone, even on another Apple Account, and changes appear in seconds.

  • Up to four people on one plan
  • Inviting needs Pro; joining is free, with every Pro feature on that plan

Every guest's seat, sent

Send each guest their seat in a personal text or email, “You're at Table 4”, straight from your phone.

  • One message per seated guest, to the contact on file
  • With a find-my-seat page (Pro), its link rides along

Check-in at the door

On the day, search a name, see which table to send them to, and tick them off as they arrive.

  • From one phone or several
  • Free on every plan

Print-ready, worthy of the day

Export the seating chart as a PDF or image on A4 or US Letter, and your guest list as a CSV, for free. Headtable Pro adds the full print pack, in eight designs:

  • A clean chart without the Headtable footer
  • Per-table lists and an alphabetical escort list
  • Caterer meal counts
  • Fold-over place cards and table-number cards
  • An 18×24 in (A2) seating poster

Privacy

Private by design

Your guest list is personal. It stays on your device until you choose to share something.

No account

No sign-up, no email, no profile. Open the app and start planning.

On your device

Guests, tables and notes are stored on your iPhone or iPad. No ads and no tracking.

Gone after the day

Invitation links, find-my-seat pages and a shared plan upload only what they need, never your guests' phone numbers or emails, and are deleted 30 days after the event, or as soon as you stop.

Moving from Prismm or AllSeated?

Prismm (formerly AllSeated) no longer takes new events. See how Headtable compares and how to bring your guest list over.

Is Headtable free?

Yes. The free version covers your whole guest list, unlimited tables and seating rules, up to 50 seated guests, online invitations with your first 8 replies, the seating chart as a PDF, the guest list as a CSV, and joining a plan someone shares with you. Headtable Pro is a one-time purchase (US$12.99 in the US; prices vary by country) that seats everyone and adds every RSVP reply, the full print pack, a find-my-seat QR page, a venue photo under your plan, inviting others to plan together and extra events.

Can my partner and I plan the seating chart together?

Yes. Invite your partner, a parent or your planner, and everyone edits the same plan from their own iPhone or iPad, even on a different Apple Account. Changes appear in seconds. Up to four people can share a plan. Inviting needs Headtable Pro; joining is free, with every Pro feature on that plan.

Is Headtable a subscription?

No. Headtable Pro is a single one-time purchase with nothing to cancel, and it works with Family Sharing.

Does Headtable work on Android or in a web browser?

No. Headtable is an app for iPhone and iPad (iOS 17 or later). Your guests don't need it: they answer invitation links and use the find-my-seat page in any web browser, on any phone.

How many guests can Headtable handle?

There is no limit on guests or tables. The free version seats up to 50 guests; Headtable Pro seats everyone.

Can I import my guest list from Zola, The Knot or a spreadsheet?

Yes. Export a CSV from Zola, The Knot, Joy, RSVPify, AllSeated/Prismm, Google Sheets or Excel, then in Headtable open Guests, tap + and choose From Zola, The Knot, AllSeated. Headtable reads name (or first and last name), party or household, RSVP, meal, dietary notes, phone and email columns. You can also paste a list or pick guests from Contacts.

Can guests look up their table on their phones?

Yes, with Headtable Pro. Publish a find-my-seat page and print its QR code for the venue. Guests scan it, type their name and see their table. They can only search, never browse the whole list, and the page is deleted 30 days after the event.

Does Headtable work offline?

Yes. Planning works without a connection. Only sending invitations, planning together, publishing a find-my-seat page and buying Headtable Pro need the internet.

How do guests find out where they sit?

Three ways, and you can use them all. Send each guest their seat in a personal text or email ("You're at Table 4") from your own phone. Print an escort list for the entrance (Pro). Or put a find-my-seat QR code at the door, where guests type their name and see their table (Pro). On the day, Headtable's check-in list lets you tick guests off at the door, from one phone or several.

Which languages is Headtable available in?

Headtable is available in 20 languages: English, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Czech, Dutch, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish and Vietnamese.
