Is there such a thing as a free table planner template?

Here you are (after a quick Google search)...

I can do "almost free" for you

1) Get a big piece of paper, or old wallpaper, and draw out your table layout, and how many sit on each table - number or give names as appropriate, and don't forget the top table!

2) Using post-it notes, write each person's name on one, and stick them on the big piece of paper. Then you can unstick and restick as much as you like to rearrange people that have to / can't be on the same table etc.

When finished, put it to one side until nearer the time as you can guarantee at least one person will drop out or someone will have an argument with someone and you'll have to go through the exercise again.

You shouldn't really finalise the table plan until the last week before your wedding really because of all the above

Cheers guys - i was obviously having a blonde moment (even though im not blonde)

Oh and AJD im not finalising anything, i just wanted to put the tables and and names on a plan instead of a sheet of A4 lined paper!!?

I used a cardboard box lid, piece of A3 with a layout on it made in word from rectangles and circles and pins with peoples names on ?
