Seat 120 guests from a list

Import your guest list from a CSV file, let Auto-Assign seat everyone with their group, and see every guest's name at the right table on your floor plan.

Questions this guide answers

How do I import a guest list into Floors.live?

Turn on Seating Mode in the editor and press Import CSV. Drop in a CSV file saved from Excel or Google Sheets. The importer auto-detects columns such as First Name, Last Name, Group, RSVP and Dietary Notes, shows a preview with any warnings, and then imports the guests. A ready-made CSV template is available to download.

Can Floors.live assign guests to tables automatically?

Yes. After importing guests, press Seat everyone, then Run Auto-Assign. The algorithm seats priority guests first, keeps each group at one table when possible, respects rules such as Keep Apart, and shows a summary of placements and conflicts. Press Apply Seating to put everyone in their seats on the floor plan.

How do I see guest names at each table?

In Seating Mode, turn on Names and every seat on the floor plan shows the guest sitting there. Hovering over a table lists its assigned guests and free seats, and hovering over a seat shows that guest's name, group and seat number. You can also drag guests onto seats or swap two guests by hand.

Can I export the seating chart?

Yes. Use the Export button in the Guest List panel to download a Guest CSV with full guest details, a Seating CSV with every table assignment, or Table Cards formatted for printing. The floor plan itself can be exported as a PNG or PDF to share with the venue, the caterer or your client.
