Tables, not rows
Generic seating tools are built around a list of guests with table numbers in a column. That works for a 100-guest party with eight round tables. It does not work for a 400-guest reception with 50 tables, three different table sizes, two stage tables, a kids' area, and a cordoned-off section for elder relatives who need to be close to the exit. Jubily's seating tool is a canvas. You lay out tables visually — round, rectangular, sweetheart, head — and drag households (not just individuals) onto them. The whole household moves together unless you split them. The visual layout matches what your venue and decorator will see on the day.
Per-event seating, sharing what should be shared
A celebration with several events — the Sangeet, the Anand Karaj, the Lunch, and the Reception at a wedding, or a morning pooja and an evening dinner at a milestone birthday — will have different layouts and likely different attendees. Jubily lets you create a seating plan per event, with the right per-event guest list pre-loaded. When the same guest is at two events, their dietary preference and family group carry over — you don't re-enter them. When you finalise table assignments for one event, you can copy-with-edits to the next, saving hours of work when you're running back-to-back events at the same venue.
Dietary keys, family groupings, and table notes
Every guest icon carries their dietary preference as a small coloured dot — green for vegetarian, blue for halal, gold for Jain, purple for vegan, and so on. At a glance you can see whether table 12 is going to be a mostly-veg table that needs a pure-veg starter rotation, or a mixed table that should be near both buffets. Each table also has a notes field — "Near exit", "Family of bride's grandmother", "Loud relatives, place far from speakers" — that the venue setup team can pick up directly from the printed plan.
Family politics, handled with grace
Every South Asian celebration has a seating chart story. The two estranged uncles. The cousin who must not sit next to her ex. The auntie who insists on being at the host's table. Jubily lets you flag pairs of guests as "do not seat together" and pairs as "must seat together" — the seating tool then shows warnings if you accidentally violate these rules, without ever surfacing them to anyone you share the plan with read-only. The politics stay private. The seating plan stays clean.
Print, share, and hand off
On the day, the seating plan needs to leave the laptop. Jubily exports a printable seating chart for the venue (table-by-table with guest names), a separate per-table escort card layout you can hand to a stationer, and a clean overview PDF you can stick on an easel at the entrance. You can also share a read-only link with your wedding planner and your venue coordinator so they can see the latest version without you having to email them updates every time someone changes their mind.

In real weddings
How couples are using it.
440 guests across 50 tables for a Punjabi reception
A West London reception with sweetheart table for the couple, two head tables for parents, and 47 round tables of 8–10. Jubily's canvas handles all 50 visually, with elder relatives near the front, Jain-strict guests adjacent to the pure-veg buffet, and the bride's school friends grouped at four adjacent tables.
A 60th with an intimate pooja and a big dinner
The Sashti Poorthi pooja is small, close family only, elders prioritised near the front. The evening dinner is 180 guests across 20 tables. Jubily lets you build two plans, share guest data across them, and flag dietary requirements on each layout independently.
Copying the lunch plan to the dinner with edits
The lunch and dinner are at the same venue, with similar attendance. You design lunch first, then duplicate it for dinner. Jubily carries over all assignments and lets you swap any household whose plans changed — without rebuilding from scratch.
