The wall chart is broken
A modern alternative to the wedding seating chart.
Welcome all your guests by name.
Three hundred people in a venue. One printed board on a stand at the entrance. A queue forms. Eyes squint. Names are misspelled. Aunties ask for help. The first ten minutes of your reception become a logistics problem, not a welcome. There's a better way, and it fits on a phone.

What's actually wrong with the wall chart
It's a single point of failure. One printed object that every guest needs to find, read, and leave. For a seventy-guest wedding that's manageable. For anything larger, the crowding creates real friction at the worst possible moment, which is arrival, the moment of welcome itself.
Misspelled names on a printed chart are mortifying and permanent. You don't notice until a guest points it out, and by then the chart is up and the ceremony has started. The guest remembers. You can apologise later, but the first thing they saw when they walked in was that their name wasn't quite right.
And the chart tells every guest the same thing: where to sit. Nothing else. No welcome. No context. No reason they're here. It's a piece of infrastructure masquerading as hospitality.
How Nnọọ works instead
Every guest is a row in your spreadsheet: name, table, menu, dietary, a line or two of context about how you know them. You upload the spreadsheet. Nnọọ generates a card for each person. A single QR code, printed at entrance scale or at each place setting, opens the site. The guest searches their name or taps the QR, and their card loads on their own phone.
- Scan at entry, or at their seat, or at a drinks-reception station
- See their name, their table, who else is at it, the menu, dietary notes
- Read the letter you wrote for them, which they'll remember for longer than anything else about the day
- Share their card with family back home if they want to
No app. No login. No download. No more queues. No more squinting. No more printed mistakes. One fixed price, a handful of minutes to set up.
What it costs vs what it replaces
A hand-calligraphed seating chart runs £150 to £500. Escort cards for 150 guests run £90 to £300. Place cards add another £100 to £400. Total stationery cost for a medium-to-large wedding lands anywhere from £340 to £1,200, before you count the planner fees for managing it all.
Nnọọ is £79 one-time for founding couples, £129 standard. It replaces every one of those line items and adds a personal letter per guest that no printed solution can offer.

Common questions
What's the best alternative to a printed wedding seating chart?
A per-guest digital card accessed by QR scan. Every guest scans once, sees their own name, table, menu, and a personal letter. Removes the wall-chart bottleneck, eliminates printed-card waste, and scales to any guest count without adding cost or time.
Do guests need to download an app?
No. Nnọọ works in any phone browser. Guests scan a QR code with their native camera app (iOS 13+ or any Android from the last 5 years) and land directly on their card. No login, no account, no download.
What if a guest doesn't want to scan?
The URL is short and friendly (yournames.nnoo.io). Any guest can type it in. Any guest whose grandchild is nearby can have it scanned for them. A single printed backup seating list at reception serves as a belt-and-braces fallback if needed.
Is this cheaper than printed escort and place cards?
For most weddings, yes. Escort cards for 150 guests run £90 to £300. Place cards add another £100 to £400. A seating chart on heavy card with custom calligraphy runs £150 to £500. Nnọọ is a one-time £79 replacing all of it, with the added benefit of personal letters guests actually keep.
