Welcoming guests at a Nigerian wedding, without the seating-chart scramble.

Nigerian weddings arrive big. Three hundred guests is normal. Five hundred isn't rare. Every aunty, uncle, cousin-of-a-cousin made the trip, some from Lagos, some from Ikeja, some from Manchester, Dublin, Atlanta. Every one of them expects to be known by name when they walk in.

Why the status quo breaks at scale

A traditional seating chart on a wall works for fifty guests. At three hundred, it becomes a choke point. Guests crowd the board. Aunties squint. Uncles queue. The warm, personal, by-name welcome you meant to give gets replaced with logistics and apologies.

Place cards at every seat double your print budget, get lost, get swapped. A single printed error means a guest finds themselves seated with the wrong family. Multiply that risk across three hundred names, many of them long, many of them with titles, many of them with diacritics a wedding stationer has never set before. Something breaks.

Printed programmes, handheld seating booklets, ushers carrying lists, signage at every corner: all workarounds. None of them deliver the thing Nigerian hospitality actually promises, which is that every person who travelled to be there is known, named, expected, and welcomed.

What every guest sees

Every invitation carries a QR code. Before the ceremony, after the ceremony, during the drinks reception, the moment a guest has a second to themselves, they scan. Instantly, on their own phone:

• Their name, spelled exactly as you set it
• Their table, with the names of who they're sitting with
• The menu for their meal, including any dietary they told you about
• A personal letter from you, written for them alone

No app. No login. No download. The site works on any phone a grandchild is holding up for their grandmother.

Nnọọ means welcome

The name is Igbo. It's the word a Nigerian mother says at the door when you've travelled a long way to see her. An acknowledgement that you've arrived, that you matter, that a place has been kept for you. The product extends that welcome to every guest at a wedding, at any scale. That's why it exists.
