Use this page when you need wedding escort cards rather than generic place cards. This is one of the three core commercial workflows on the site: spreadsheet seating list to printable wedding cards.

If you already have your guest list in Excel or Google Sheets, the fastest workflow is:
Guest Name column.Table column.Meal, Seat, or Note.Most weddings only need:

| Type | What it tells the guest | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Escort card | Which table to go to | Wedding receptions, escort displays, large guest lists |
| Place card | Which exact seat is theirs | Formal dinners, plated service, meal-specific seating |
Many weddings use escort cards at the entrance and then use matching table numbers or table decor inside the room.
If your seating plan is already organized in a spreadsheet:
| Guest Name | Table | Meal | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emma Johnson | Table 3 | Vegetarian | Bride's family |
| Liam Carter | Table 3 | Fish | Speaker |
| Olivia Smith | Table 8 | Kids Meal |
