For Hong Kong banquet weddings
One seating plan the whole family agrees on.
Your guest list, the replies that arrive on WhatsApp and the floor plan, in one place and shared by both of you. "Which table am I on?" gets one answer, every time, and the venue gets a list it can use.
Still being built. Not open for sign-ups yet, and no launch date.
Three things that drift apart
- A spreadsheet
The guest list, where everyone marks "maybe" their own way and nobody is sure the total is right.
- WhatsApp
Replies arrive through parents, aunties and friends, at random times, mostly in the last two weeks, on a phone, while the spreadsheet is on a laptop.
- A floor plan
Paper or a PDF from the venue, marked up by hand, wrong the moment a party changes size.
Then the questions start, "which table am I on?", and each one is answered by hand: find the plan, screenshot it, crop it, send it. Dozens of times. You never quite trust the number, and the week before the wedding goes on reconciling.
How it works
-
Bring your list, record replies
Paste it or import a CSV. Guests sit in parties, the way you invite them: Mr & Mrs Chan and their kids are one row. On your phone, record a reply in three taps while WhatsApp is still open.
-
Draw the room, seat each party
At a desk, draw the venue: round tables, the head table, the stage, the reception desk. Then put each party on a table. Only coming and tentative guests can be seated.
-
Tell everyone, and the venue
A "your table" message with a map of the room, worded in Cantonese or English, which you send yourself. A whole-room seat map image and a table-by-table list for the venue and the reception desk.
Two places, not a dashboard
Guests and Seating. The same record is behind both, so a party's table never disagrees with itself.
On your phone
- Record a reply in three taps while WhatsApp is still open
- Answer "which table am I on?" with the message ready to go
- View the floor and put a party on a table
- Day view on the wedding day
At a desk
- Draw and edit the floor: tables, stage, reception desk, custom blocks
- Needs a window at least 1240 px wide
- Open WhatsApp Web with each message ready to send
- Import by paste or CSV, export to CSV
Built for how a banquet really runs
Ten to thirty round tables of twelve, a head table, family closely involved, and every reply coming through WhatsApp.
RSVP per guest
Coming, tentative, pending or declined. Only coming and tentative guests take a seat, and tentative ones stay visibly tentative, shown dashed.
Both of you, at once
One wedding, shared by the two of you. If you both edit the same party at once, the second save shows the conflict and keeps that person's edits on screen. Nothing is silently overwritten.
Messages you send yourself
On a computer it opens WhatsApp Web; on a phone, the share sheet. It never sends on your behalf and never claims to know whether a message was delivered or read.
The room on one page
A whole-room seat map image and a table-by-table list, ready for the family group, the venue and the reception desk.
Bring your list, keep a copy
Import by paste or CSV with a preview of matches and duplicates. Export to CSV any time. Deleted parties and guests can be restored for 30 days.
Your wedding, your address
Each wedding lives at its own address, like ruby-ricky.weddingis.live. The app is in English and Traditional Chinese, and message wording comes in idiomatic Cantonese or English.
On the day
Day view on your phone. Type any name and the table number fills the screen, with the head table marked. Whoever is holding the phone at the reception desk can answer without looking anything up.
What it will not do
Said plainly, so you know what you are trusting.
- It never sends a message for you.
Every message goes through your own WhatsApp, and you press send.
- It never shows delivered or read.
It does not know, so it does not pretend to.
- Guests never log in.
They reply to you the way they do now. Nothing is asked of them.
- It is not for planners or venues.
It is for the couple, planning their own banquet.
