Food tents, not full menu cards

A wedding menu card lists every course on one card at each seat. This tool prints one small tent per dish — ideal for buffets, stations, and labeled platters.

One dish per tent Mac & cheese, carved turkey, and salad each get their own printable label.

Dish list format

Spreadsheet columns for food tent cards

Each row is one dish. The Name field becomes the text on the tent. This is not a multi-course menu on a single card.

ExcelCSVGoogle Sheets

Dish | Station | Note

Dish maps to Name on the card. Station can map to Table for grouping (Desserts, Bar, etc.). Note is for allergens or serving notes.

One dish per row

Each printed tent card maps to one food item — not an entire menu on one sheet.

Dish name goes in Name

The editor’s guest name field is the dish title on the tent.

Station is optional

Use Station / Table when you want Dessert, Bar, or Kids grouped on the card.

Not guest meal icons

Place cards with meal icons show what each guest ordered. Food tents label the dishes on the buffet.

Tip: Print one tent per dish, then place them in front of each tray. For a dessert table, import six to ten dessert names and print one label each.

What the dish list looks like in the editor

Import Dish, Station, and Note columns the same way you import a guest list for place cards.

Pick the right tool

Food tent cards vs guest place cards vs seating signs

Use this tool for buffet dish labels — one tent per food item. Guest names, entrance posters, and full multi-course menu cards are different jobs with their own tools.

When to use food tents instead

Familiar print workflow, but the spreadsheet columns and setup are built for dishes — not guest seating.

Rows are dishes, not guests

Name = dish title, Station = buffet section. No table assignment or meal icons for servers.

One tent per tray

Print six chicken labels and six salad labels — not one card listing every course at each seat.

Pairs with seated stationery

Couples often combine food tents at the buffet with place cards and a Find Your Seat poster for assigned tables.

Need guest names at each chair instead? Open wedding place card templates or the full place card maker.
