I believe this is from a guy that usually posts at Joel On Software.

Never tried it though. Hope it helps.

Problem

I'm getting married soon and am busy with the seating plan, and am running into the usual issues of who sits where: X and Y must sit together, but A and B cannot stand each other etc. The numbers I'm dealing with aren't huge (so the manual option will work just fine), but being of the geeky persuasion, I was wondering if there was any software available to do this for me? Failing an exact match, what should I look for (the problem space, books, reference code) to tweak for my purposes?
