Love this. I got married in 2022 and I started a "friend and family graph" with the goal of optimizing layout.

But other stakeholders, cough cough in laws cough, quickly demanded direct allocation.

Haha! How many people attended? Would your in-laws have been able to use this type of tool?

160, and I don't think my in-laws would have used this. Mostly because they would feel like having to use a website vs just writing names on a printed diagram would be a bit too much to ask and they truly wanted to have full access so describing some sort of requirements and then have someone or something else create the layout would not fit their expectations.

But that's just my situation, I'm sure for younger folk or weddings where the couple has stronger say would be a good tool to have!
