any mix of shapes, seated by the label you give each table
Most receptions are not all one shape. You might have rounds for guests, a long head table for the wedding party, and an estate run for the family. What ties them together on paper is not the shape, it is the label on each table.
How Seatwright seats a mixed table shapes
Seatwright seats by the label you give each table, a number or a name like Head Table, so you can mix rounds, long tables, a U, and an estate run in one list. It prints the cards, the numbers, and the chart for all of them from the same paste. You decide the floor plan; Seatwright handles the paper.
Seatwright prints the cards, the table numbers, and the chart from your list. It does not draw a floor plan, so you decide the room layout and Seatwright handles the paper.
Give every table a clear, unique label, whether that is a number or a name like Head Table. Consistent labels keep the place cards and the chart pointing at the same seats.
What you can print
Escort cards
Escort cards tell each guest which table to find. Seatwright sorts your whole list A to Z and lays it out as tent cards, so the entrance table stays easy to scan.
Place cards
Place cards sit at the seat itself. Seatwright groups your guests by table and prints one card each, with the meal choice underneath the name if you added one.
Table numbers
A table needs a number a guest can read from the door. Seatwright prints one foldable tent sign per table, large and centered, straight from the tables on your list.
Seating chart
One poster by the door lets everyone find their seat at a glance. Seatwright lays out your whole list alphabetically with each guest's table beside the name.

Questions
Can I mix round and long tables on one chart?
Yes. Seatwright seats by table label, not table shape, so rounds, long tables, a head table, and an estate run all appear on the same chart and print from one guest list.
How does Seatwright handle different table shapes?
It does not model the shape at all. You label each table with a number or a name, and Seatwright groups the place cards, prints a sign per table, and builds one chart. You set the room layout.
Do I need a floor plan tool for mixed shapes?
Not for the printed set. Decide the layout however you like, then paste your list with each table labeled, and Seatwright turns it into escort cards, place cards, table numbers, and a chart.
