Why Tableherald
Seating changes every time a guest replies. Tableherald keeps your list, your room and every printed piece in step, so a late change takes a moment, not an evening.
Guests
Your list,
as families.
Type each household, paste a list, or bring in an Excel or CSV file. Tableherald reads it on your computer and keeps each household together, so they sit together and get one invitation. Add titles, meals, ages and allergies, and mark the guests who need easy access, or who should never share a table.
Seating
Seat them
your way.
Auto
Switch on your rules: families together, the pairs you named apart, the closest to the hosts nearest the head table, each side together. One press seats everyone still waiting.
Manual
Drag a guest, or a whole family, onto a table. Six quick-seat helpers seat a group in one press, and Undo takes any of it back.
The room
Every table,
just so.
Arrange the room like your venue: round, oval, square and long tables, a sweetheart table for two, the dance floor, the bar and the entrance. Make any table a guest-of-honor, reserved or kids' table, give it a name, and lock it when it's right.
Seating health
Nothing
missed.
Six checks, always on: a guest still waiting, a family split up, a pair you kept apart at one table, a child away from family, a reserved table taken, and a guest who needs easy access far from the entrance. Each says why, and where to look.
Print & invite
Eight pieces.
One look.
Everything you print, in your theme. Each one is saved as a PDF made to its exact size, with the fonts inside, so it prints the same at home or at a print shop.
- InvitationsOne for each family, with your reply-by date
- Address labelsFor the envelopes, on common label sheets
- Seating chartThe big board for the entrance
- Escort cardsEach guest's name and table
- Place cardsA name for every seat, with a meal mark
- Table numbersA number, or the table's name
- Reserved signsFor the tables you've reserved
- Caterer's sheetThe meals, table by table
Tableherald makes the PDFs; you print them, at home or at a print shop. Nothing is printed or shipped to you.
The seating chart
The board
at the door.
24 × 36 in or 18 × 24 in, by table or A to Z, on one board or two. Tableherald says how big the names will print, and Check the size saves a page at the board's real size, to print on plain paper at home before you order.
Themes
19 themes.
Every occasion.
From classic and vintage to bold and modern, each with its own typefaces and colors. Change it whenever you like: the invitations, the chart and every card change at once. Four vintage themes carry ornaments from Pewterham Vol. 1.

Questions, answered.
Does Tableherald print or mail anything for me?
No. Tableherald makes each piece as a PDF, at its exact size: you print the cards, labels and invitations on your own printer, and have the big chart printed at a print shop. Nothing is printed or shipped to you.
Will Auto seat everyone the way I want?
Auto follows the rules you switch on, and Seating health shows anything worth a look. You can move anyone by hand, lock a table you're happy with, and Undo any change: the seating is always yours to decide.
Can I bring in my guest list from a spreadsheet?
Yes: an Excel workbook (.xlsx) or a CSV file, or cells pasted from any spreadsheet. Tableherald matches your columns, puts each household together as a family, and reads it all on your computer.
How big an event can it handle?
Up to 1,000 guests and 150 tables in an event, and as many events as you like.
Can I plan events for clients?
Not with this license. Tableherald is for your own events and your family's and friends'. Your license is for your own use of the app: you can't share, sell or give away Tableherald, or include it in another product. Read the license
What sizes does it print?
The seating chart at 24 × 36 in or 18 × 24 in, for a print shop. Everything else on US Letter, at home: invitations at 5 × 7 in, and cards and labels on common sheets, named by size so any brand fits. Print a test page on plain paper first.
Does it need the internet?
Only once, for a moment, to activate your code. After that it works offline.
Does it work on a Mac, or a phone?
Yes on a Mac: in Chrome, Edge or Firefox, on Windows or Mac, opened from the folder you download, with nothing to install. Its screens fit a phone or a tablet too, but it's made for a computer: START HERE explains how to use it on a phone.
Can I get a refund?
We don't refund a change of mind once the download starts. If something's wrong with it, tell us: we'll fix it, replace it or refund you. Your legal rights aren't affected.
