Place cards you can print, with nothing to retype
The usual route is a downloaded template and a hundred and twenty names typed one by one into little boxes. One typo, one cancellation the night before, and you reprint the whole sheet hoping nobody else changes their mind.
Here the names already exist. They come from the replies you received and the seating chart you built with them, so there is nothing to re-enter: every card carries the table name, the person's name and the meal they chose.
Three pieces come out of the same chart, all in your invitation's design: the entrance poster, the place cards and the caterer sheet.

What comes out of the printer
The place cards: eight to a letter-size sheet, separated by dotted cut lines. Each card shows the table in small caps, the person's name in your invitation's typeface, and their meal underneath. The palette is your design's, not a generic template.
The entrance poster: tabloid size, up to thirty-six people per page, to hang by the door. Two orders, one click apart: by table, or alphabetically. The alphabetical sort follows French collation rules, so accented names land where a French reader expects them rather than at the end.
The caterer sheet: totals per meal option, the table-by-table breakdown, and allergies exactly as your guests wrote them. It is the sheet you hand to the kitchen, with nothing copied out by hand.
Free for up to 10 guests. After that, $4.99 CAD once, for unlimited guests.
Why they come out right the first time
The names come from the chart, not from a form filled in a second time. Double entry is what produces typos on place cards, and that is precisely the step that disappears.
Printing waits until everything is settled. As long as a confirmed person has no seat, a seat has no name, or someone dropped from a reply is still unresolved, the pieces do not come out, and you are told who is missing, by name. So you never print a card for someone who cancelled.
The meal follows the person onto the card. The choice made at reply time travels all the way to print with nothing transcribed by hand, and the caterer sheet counts the very same plates.
A last-minute change does not send you back to the file. You fix the chart, and you reprint the sheet that changed.
Frequently asked questions
- How many place cards fit on a sheet?
- Eight, on an ordinary letter-size sheet, separated by dotted lines that act as your cutting guide. Pages keep coming as long as there are seated guests left.
- What happens if someone cancels the night before?
- The guest edits their reply, the seat frees up in the chart, and printing tells you what is left to resolve before the pieces come out. You only reprint the sheet their card was on, not the whole stack.
- Do we need special software to print?
- No. The pieces print from your browser, on ordinary paper sizes: letter for the place cards and the caterer sheet, tabloid for the entrance poster, which any neighbourhood print shop handles.
