A case study of Mitchell and Nathalie's wedding: 716 guests, every one seated in the chart, and a single printed QR code that sent each guest to their table.
Mitchell and Nathalie married on September 20, 2026, with 716 guests on their list, and every one of those 716 was seated in their Forever Farrah seating chart. Instead of a printed board listing hundreds of names, they put up one designed QR code sign. Guests scanned it with their own phone camera, found their name and saw their table. This is how a wedding that size came together, and what other couples seating 500 or more guests can take from it.
Mitchell's worry before the wedding is the one every couple with a very large list shares. In his review he wrote that "one of our biggest concerns was figuring out how to organize that many people and get everyone to their assigned seats efficiently."
There are really two problems in that sentence:
A printed seating chart struggles with both at this size. A board with 716 names on it is hard to read, draws a crowd as everyone looks for themselves at the same moment, and is out of date the moment one guest changes plans.
The couple were on the Forever plan, which has no limit on how many guests can be seated at tables. They worked in the seating studio, where you lay out the floor plan and drag guests onto tables. Mitchell described the platform as "user-friendly, intuitive, and easy to navigate", and said creating and organizing the chart "was seamless."
For a list this long, the usual way to start is to get every name in at once rather than typing them one by one. In Forever Farrah you can copy names from a spreadsheet, notes app or message thread and paste them in, one name per line. From there the work is grouping and placing: families, friend circles, colleagues, then table by table.
To give a sense of scale (an illustration, not the couple's own layout), here is how many tables a list of 716 needs at common table sizes:
| Seats per table | Tables needed |
|---|---|
| 8 | 90 |
| 10 | 72 |
| 12 | 60 |
At this size, numbers like these decide the floor plan, so it pays to settle table size with the venue before seating anyone. The calculator below works it out for any guest count.
How many tables do you need for your wedding?
The part of the day Mitchell singled out was the QR code. He wrote that they "especially loved how simple it was to generate a QR code and have it printed with a beautiful design that complemented our wedding aesthetic."
The way it works for guests:
Because the code points to the live seating chart, it always shows the current version. If a table changes the week before, or the morning of, the printed sign doesn't need reprinting. That matters more the bigger the list, because with 716 guests some late changes are close to certain.
It also spreads the crowd out. Each guest looks at their own screen instead of hundreds of people reading one board, which is what Mitchell meant when he said the system "completely eliminated the chaos of traditional seating charts."
Mitchell left a five-star Google review. In his words, Forever Farrah "made what could have been one of the most stressful parts of our wedding an absolute breeze", and with that many guests, "we genuinely don't know how we would have managed seating everyone in a timely and organized manner without this system."
He closed by recommending it "to anyone planning a wedding, especially those with large guest counts." You can read more from couples on our reviews page.
For worked layouts at smaller sizes, see our seating plan for 500 wedding guests, and for the wider logistics, nobody tells you this about having a large wedding.
The free plan lets you build the whole floor plan, seat up to 50 guests and share the QR code, with no limit on the size of your guest list. Larger weddings move up a plan when they need more seats, and the Forever plan seats as many guests as you have. If your list runs into the hundreds, our page on seating for large weddings explains how it works at that size.

Yes. Mitchell and Nathalie seated all 716 of their guests in Forever Farrah on the Forever plan, which has no limit on how many guests can be seated at tables.
A QR code sign works well at this size. Guests scan it with their phone camera, find their name and see their table, so nobody has to search a printed board of hundreds of names. Keep a short printed list nearby as a backup.
No. Phone cameras open the code as a web page, so guests only need their camera and a signal or Wi-Fi.
Nothing needs reprinting. The code opens the live seating chart, so guests always see the latest version.
It depends on table size. At 10 seats per table, 700 guests need 70 tables, and at 8 seats they need 88. The table calculator above works it out for your exact count.
