One guest list and seating chart power your day-of stationery
Only confirmed guests should get place cards.
Complete your seating chart so each name has a table.
Use Premium printable reports or exports for your printer.
Proof spelling once more — especially ninongs, ninangs, and hyphens.
Every manual copy from Excel into Canva is a spelling risk — especially with shared Filipino surnames.
Place cards sit at the seat (or plate). Escort cards usually live at the entrance with table numbers, sometimes doubling as favors. Both need the same underlying truth: confirmed guests and assigned tables.
If you already built a seating chart in WedPlanner, you should not rebuild the name list for stationery. Treat cards as an output of the plan.
Include the display name guests expect (and diacritics if you use them), table number, and optionally meal choice for plated service. Sponsors and entourage tables often need clearer labels so ushers seat them correctly.
Premium printable reports help coordinators and printers work from one export instead of screenshots of chat lists.
Print a proof after most RSVPs arrive, then a final run 24–48 hours out. Update seating for late yes replies before that final PDF — not after cards are already calligraphed.
