From guest list to party
For weddings, family celebrations, milestone birthdays and dinners: the whole seating job, done on your phone.
The guest list in a minute
Type names, paste a list, pick from Contacts, open a spreadsheet, or photograph the list you wrote on paper. "Sophie and Tom Baker" on one line sit together.
Say the rules
Write "Uncle Richard and Aunt Linda not together" or "Nana close to the head table" and the phone understands. Choose how much to mix the two sides.
Seat everyone in a tap
Bordplan tries thousands of plans and keeps couples together, children at the kids' table and every rule kept. Drag a dot to swap two guests, or fix someone's seat.
A mood score per table
See who knows nobody at their table, and the one swap that lifts it the most. When someone can't come, close the gap with at most two moves.
Place cards that start a conversation
Folded cards, four to an A4 sheet, with an "Ask me about…" line for the neighbour. After changes, print only the cards that changed.
Find your seat
Put the phone or an iPad by the entrance. Guests type their name and see their table, their chair and who they're sitting next to.
Tables, rules and a mood score
The guest list stays on your phone.
Bordplan has no account, no server and no analytics. Names, rules and plans stay on your iPhone and only go where you print or send them.

One evening shouldn't need a subscription.
Bordplan costs $1.99, once. No account, no ads, no tracking, and the guest list never leaves your iPhone.
That's all it ever costs. Every feature and every future update is included, for every party you plan, and so are the extra app icons. Nothing to unlock later, and if something's wrong, you write straight to Peter, who made it.
Questions
Which parties is Bordplan for?
Weddings, family celebrations, milestone birthdays, company dinners: any party where people sit at tables. Round tables, long tables, a horseshoe or a head table on one side.
How does Bordplan know who knows whom?
From the groups (the bride's side, friends, colleagues), from couples and families you put on one line, and from your rules. It makes sure everyone has someone they know at the table, and you choose how much to mix.
Can I still place people myself?
Yes. Drag a guest's dot onto another chair to swap two people, and fix a seat so the phone never moves it. Seat everyone again whenever you like, and undo if you liked the last plan better.
What happens when someone cancels?
Mark them as not coming. Bordplan seats anyone who was waiting and closes the gap with at most two moves, so only a few place cards need printing again.
How do I print the place cards?
Choose Print and any AirPrint printer, or save the PDF and print it elsewhere. Four folded cards fit on an A4 sheet, with cutting and folding lines. The seating chart comes with an alphabetical list for the entrance.
Does Bordplan collect anything?
No guest list, rule or plan ever leaves your iPhone. There's no account, no ads and no analytics. If you sign up for Peter's newsletter in Settings, your email address is sent for that, and nothing else.
