Creating table plans for weddings, parties, and events is not as easy as you may think; if you have organized events before, you know it can be a real headache. But now you won't need excuses from creating table plans for events, because thanks to this powerful application, you will be able to organize everything with great detail. In order for you to create your table plans for events, the program provides five steps to follow, and each one will let you control every detail of your event.
First, you will need to add the guests to the main list. Here, they can be classified by singles, couples, families or groups. In addition, when you add a new guest, you need to fill special requirements like meal choice (beef, child, fish, vegetarian), whether he/she needs a wheel chair, etc.
Once you have added all the guests, in the second step you need to set the proximity among them. That is, you have to decide who should seat near (or not near) who. And you can easily do it by selecting small icons on each guest according to your choice.
In the third step, you need to set up the kind of tables (oval, rectangle, banquet, semi-circle, etc.) and their location. And in the step four, guests can be placed by you at the tables one by one; or if you prefer, you can let the program auto-assign a place for each guest.
Finally, you will be able to print, save, or send your plan by email; or if you desire, export it to different file formats like HTML, PDF, JPG, CSV, BMP and text.
v5.3.4 [Apr 26, 2017]
- v5.3.1 to v5.3.3 are slow at deleting large numbers of guests. This is now fixed.
- Previously new plans defaulted to meters. The default units for new plans are now set according to your windows/Mac system locale, e.g. to feet if your locale is set the USA. You can change the units for a plan in the Dimensions window.
- When guests are dropped onto seats in the Floor Plan or Table Plan panes, the seats dropped on to are now highlighted after the drop as an additional visual cue.
- There is now a Scale Background Image feature to help you scale background images correctly. It allows you to mark a feature on the background image and specify how big it should be. The background image is then scaled appropriately. Click here for a short video of this feature in action.
- Custom fields hidden in the Guests and Groups pane in v5.2.3 or earlier sometimes cannot he unhidden in v5.3.1 to v5.3.3. This is now fixed.
- If any inconsistencies were discovered during import of proximity, seating or custom fields data the user was given the option to Cancel or Continue. Clicking Cancel imported the guests, but did not show them. This is now fixed.
