AI Transparency

In short. The layout of your seating chart is computed by our own typesetting software from the text you enter, not by an AI model. If you use the optional AI theme, an AI model suggests the colors, the fonts, and the frame from a short description you type, and the illustration at the top of the chart is an AI-generated image. AI helps us draft and translate parts of the site's guides and texts, which our editorial team reviews. Any illustrative photographs in the guides are AI-generated, show no real people or places, and are marked as such in their metadata.

What AI does not do

• It does not lay out your seating chart. The chart is composed by our own typesetting software: it takes the names, tables, and titles you enter and arranges them according to the design you choose. Names, tables, columns, and type size are set by this software, with or without the AI theme.
• It does not write or change your names. Names are printed exactly as you typed them. That is why we ask you to check them all before you approve a proof.
• It does not make decisions about you. We make no automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on customers.

The fonts used in the charts are open-license fonts, distributed under the SIL Open Font License.

The AI theme, if you choose it

In the editor you can type a short description of your wedding (place, season, colors, mood; up to 300 characters) and press a button. It is optional: nothing is sent to an AI model unless you do, and the preset styles always remain available.

• What AI does. An AI model chooses a theme for your seating chart from your description: three colors (background, text, accent), a font pairing, a frame, and a short name for the theme. Optionally, an image model also generates one decorative illustration, a painted ornament such as flowers, leaves, or geometric motifs, which is printed at the top of the seating chart and of the welcome sign.
• What this means for your chart. With the AI theme, the choice of colors and fonts is suggested by AI, and the illustration at the top is an AI-generated image. The layout is still computed by our typesetting software: AI does not place or write your guests' names.
• Who provides the models. Google. We use Gemini models on Google Cloud Vertex AI, a text model for the theme and an image model for the illustration, operated by Google Cloud EMEA Limited and Google LLC as our processor. Under Google's terms for this paid service, the content we send is not used to train Google's models.
• What is sent. Only the description you type and, for the illustration, the theme's colors and a short description of the motif derived from it. Your guest list, your names, the wedding date, and the venue are not sent. Please do not type names or other personal data in the description.
• Automated checks. Descriptions that ask for people, brands, characters, or inappropriate content are refused. A second automated check, also carried out by an AI model, looks at each generated illustration and discards it if it contains people, text, logos, or inappropriate content. Neither check is a decision with legal or similarly significant effects on you.
• What we keep. We do not store the description after the answer has been produced. The generated illustration is stored on our server only so that it can be drawn on your chart: if no order follows, it is deleted within 30 days; if it becomes part of an order, it is kept with the order and deleted together with the guest list, 90 days after the wedding.
• Limits. The feature may be limited per visitor per day and may be unavailable at times. The preset styles always remain available.

What we use AI for

• Guides and site texts. Parts of the guides and texts on this site are drafted or translated with the help of AI. The editorial team reviews them before they are published.
• Illustrative photographs in the guides. Where a guide has an illustrative photograph, it is AI-generated. These images show no real people and no real places.
• The site's code. The site is built and maintained with AI coding assistance.

Machine-readable marking

The AI-generated photographs in our guides carry machine-readable marking: their IPTC metadata states that the image is AI-generated.

The illustration of an AI theme is marked too: its file carries a machine-readable note stating that it is AI-generated, and Google's image model embeds its own invisible watermark (SynthID). No visible label is printed on the chart itself, so we say it plainly here: that illustration is AI-generated.

Your guest list and AI

We do not send your guest list to any AI model. If you use the AI theme, what goes to Google's models is the description you type and, for the illustration, the theme's colors and a short motif description, not your guests' names, your names, the date, or the venue. How we handle it, and when we delete it, is explained in our Privacy Policy.

Why we tell you

Article 50 of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) requires AI-generated content to be identifiable. We would do it anyway: you should know what is made by software that follows fixed rules, what is made with AI, and what is checked by people.
