Handling last-minute wedding seating and name changes
Keep one source of truth, regenerate the affected pieces, and make the newest version obvious.
Vowora practical guide · 8 November 2026
Edit the source, not every PDF
Correct the guest record or table assignment in the planner. Future exports use that latest source. A PDF already downloaded, printed or emailed will not update itself.
Check the ripple effects
A moved guest may affect table capacity, meal counts and the seating display. Review unassigned guests, over-capacity tables and pending attendance again before you export.
Reprint the affected cards
Use the selected-guest controls to regenerate only the place or escort cards that changed. Make a new seating display if table assignments changed and a new caterer sheet if meal counts changed.
Replace old copies deliberately
Tell your venue, printer and catering contact which file is current. Keep filenames and dates understandable. Download a fresh editable backup after the revision.
Keep the lovely details together.
