What is an Option For Planning Items in Planning Templates?

In Seated With Love, planning templates are made up of planning items, which represent the questions or decisions couples must complete while planning their wedding.

Planning items help venues collect important details such as bar selections, meal choices, guest counts, and other planning information.

Some planning items include options, which represent the possible answers a couple can choose from.

What Are Options?

Options are the selectable answers for a planning item.

For example, a planning item might ask:

“Select your bar option.”

The options for that planning item could be:

• Open Bar

• Beer & Wine

• Cash Bar

These options allow couples to clearly understand the choices available for that part of their wedding.

Planning items do not require options. Some planning items may simply ask couples to provide a written response instead.

Example:

“What is your final guest count?”

In this case, the couple would provide a typed response instead of selecting from options.

What Information Can Options Include?

Each option can contain several pieces of information to help couples understand their choice.

Options can include:

• Name – The name of the option

• Description – Additional details explaining the option

• Photo (optional) – An image showing the option

• Price (optional) – A cost associated with selecting that option

Option Pricing Types

If pricing is included, the price can be configured in several ways:

• Static price – A fixed cost

• Per person – Price multiplied by the number of guests

• Per table – Price based on the number of tables

• Per hour – Price calculated by time

This allows venues to clearly present upgrades, services, or add-ons as part of the planning process.

Why Options Are Useful

Options help venues:

• Present clear choices to couples

• Show pricing and upgrades in an organized way

• Provide descriptions and images that explain what each option includes

This makes it easier for couples to understand what is available and select the options that best fit their wedding.
