Should I start with a guide or go straight to the place card designer?

If you already know your card style and have your guest list ready, open the designer. If you are still deciding on size, format, or workflow, start with the relevant guide first.

Which guide is best if my guest list is already in Excel or Google Sheets?

Start with the spreadsheet workflow guide. It is the fastest route when you want to import names, tables, meals, or seats and generate cards in bulk.

Do I need special paper or Avery sheets?

Not always. Many users print on cardstock and cut manually, while others prefer pre-scored or Avery-compatible sheets. The size guide helps you choose the right format before printing.

Can I use these guides for weddings, corporate dinners, and other events?

Yes. The same workflow works for weddings, banquets, conferences, dinner parties, and check-in tables. The main difference is the card style and which guest-list columns you print.
