How guests find their table
- Guests open the event page and choose their name under Find your name, as for RSVP.
- Under Seating the chart zooms to their table and the tables of their companions and marks them, with their initials on the chairs; hovering or tapping a chair shows the name. Companions who have no table yet are listed under the name.
Guests find their table on the web. The Event page tab shows the section as they see it: select Find your name and choose a guest to see them and their companions on the chairs of their tables; tapping a chair shows the name.
The chart shows guests only themselves and their companions; who else sits where stays with you. To build the guest list, see Manage your guest list and collect RSVPs. The CSV export of the list carries the table of every guest, see Customize RSVP questions, deadline and export.
