Is the Find Your Seat poster free?

Yes. Building the chart on this page and downloading the Find Your Seat poster PDF are free. Escort cards, place cards, and table numbers use the guest-list print pack on their own tool pages.

What is a Find Your Seat sign?

It is the large seating chart at the reception entrance. Guests look up their name, see their table, then walk to the table or pick up an escort card. Place cards sit at each seat.

Is this better than a Canva seating chart template?

Use Canva when you want a highly decorative DIY board and are happy typing every name by hand. Use this page when your guest list already lives in Excel or Google Sheets — import once, assign tables, and download a print-ready Find Your Seat PDF without retyping.

By table or alphabetical — which poster layout?

By-table groups guests under each table number. A–Z with table numbers is faster when guests only search for their own name on a long list.

What paper size works on an easel?

Tabloid or A3 reads best on a foam board or easel. Letter or A4 works for smaller weddings or when a print shop scales the PDF.

How is this different from the Wedding Seating Chart Maker?

This page focuses on the entrance poster — layout guide, a simpler editor, and a Find Your Seat PDF. The wedding seating chart maker adds keep-apart rules, CSV for coordinators, escort vs place card guidance, and a path to print every card type. Each page keeps its own saved chart. Neither tool draws a venue floor plan.

Do I still need escort cards if I print a poster?

Many couples use both. The poster is the public overview; escort cards help guests carry a table number to their seat. Plan both from the wedding seating chart maker if you want one workflow hub.

Can I import from Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. Import CSV with a Name column. Optional Table, Meal, and Group columns pre-fill assignments when you already started in a spreadsheet.

Will my chart sync with the wedding seating chart maker page?

No — each page saves separately in your browser so poster experiments do not overwrite a full reception plan. Export CSV from either page if you need to move lists.

Tabloid or A3 for easels
