Questions

What happens if the rules cannot all be met?

Auto-assign keeps groups together when possible and honours keep-apart pairs. If there are too few seats, unseated guests are listed; if a conflict is unavoidable, the guest is seated anyway and the conflict is reported so you can fix it.

Can I share the plan with others?

Not through the site. The plan is saved in this browser only. Download the PDF chart (every table plus an A to Z guest list) or the CSV and send that file yourself.
