Pro Tip
Choose a template that complements your event's overall aesthetic. For formal events, go with classic or elegant designs. For casual gatherings, modern or rustic templates work well.
Add Wedding Guest Names
Import your wedding guest list by uploading a CSV file or entering names manually. Include table assignments for organized seating.
- Prepare a CSV file with 'Name' and 'Table' columns
- Upload the file or use manual entry for smaller lists
- Review and edit guest information as needed
- Add or remove guests at any time
Pro Tip
For CSV uploads, make sure your file has clear column headers: 'Name' and 'Table'. You can leave the table column empty if you don't have seating assignments yet.
Customize Place Card Design
Personalize your printable place cards with custom fonts, colors, and layout options to match your wedding theme perfectly.
- Choose separate fonts for guest names and table text
- Adjust font sizes, weights, and colors
- Set text positioning and alignment
- Configure card dimensions and paper size
- Preview changes in real-time
Pro Tip
Use contrasting font sizes to create hierarchy - make guest names larger and more prominent than table numbers. Ensure text is readable from a distance.

Pro Tips for Perfect Place Cards
Font Selection
Choose fonts that are elegant but readable. Script fonts work well for names, while simple fonts are better for table numbers.
Color Coordination
Match your place card colors to your event's color palette. Use high contrast between text and background for readability.
Paper Quality
Use cardstock (200-300 GSM) for professional results. Matte finish reduces glare and looks more elegant than glossy.
Size Considerations
Standard place card size is 3.5" x 2" when folded. Ensure text is large enough to read from across the table.
Printing Setup
Print a test page first to check alignment. Use your printer's 'Actual Size' setting, not 'Fit to Page'.
Cutting Guide
Enable cut lines in the layout settings for precise trimming. Use a paper cutter for clean, straight edges.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Text too small to read
✅ Use minimum 12pt font for names, 10pt for table numbers
❌ Poor color contrast
✅ Ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colors
❌ Inconsistent formatting
✅ Keep font styles and sizes consistent across all cards
❌ Forgetting to proofread
✅ Double-check all guest names and table assignments before printing
❌ Wrong paper size
✅ Verify your printer settings match the selected paper size
