Escort Cards from Your Wedding Seating List
Escort cards belong at the entrance: guest name + table number. They are not place cards (those sit at the chair). Import your list, export one PDF, and alphabetize at the venue.
Escort cards for the reception entrance
Navigation cards — not seat cards. Place cards go on the table after guests find their table.

Escort cards vs place cards vs seating cards
Escort cards are picked up at the entrance and show a table number. Place cards (name cards) sit at the assigned seat. Seating cards sometimes means place cards — but escort cards are always a different job.
What makes an escort card different
Table number is the key field
Guest Name plus Table 5 or Garden Table — the card's job is navigation, not marking one chair.
Displayed at the entrance
Alphabetized on a table or board near the door, not on each plate.
Pairs with place cards for formal dinners
Escort gets guests to the table; place cards assign the exact seat and meal.
