How to make the sign
- Paste your guests with their table after a comma. If you made your seating chart here, the list is already in.
- Choose the order: by table, the usual choice up to about 120 guests, or A to Z, which is quicker to read at a big wedding.
- Pick the paper. A4 and A3 print at home or at a copy shop; 18 x 24 and 24 x 36 in are the poster sizes a print shop takes as a PDF.
Common questions
By table or alphabetical?
By table looks better and works while guests can find their name in a few seconds. Past 120 guests or so, alphabetical is kinder: people scan for their own name faster than they read fifteen tables.
What size should the sign be?
For up to 60 guests, an A3 or 11 x 17 in sheet on an easel is enough. For 100 or more, print 18 x 24 in or larger so several people can read it at once.
How do I print a poster?
Choose the poster size, press print and save as PDF. Send that file to a print shop and ask for it at 100% scale, on matte paper or foam board.
The text came out small. Can I change it?
The text shrinks so that every name fits on one sheet. Pick a bigger paper size, or switch to A to Z, which fits more names in the same space.
