Tips and important notes
- A guest without a name — for example a role you added but haven’t named yet — gets no card. Add the name in the guest list.
- The table on the card is the table’s name in the seating chart, such as “1” or “Bride & Groom”. Rename the table in the chart editor and the cards change too.
- See Stationery from your seating chart for adding, renaming and deleting stationery, and Seat your guests for the seating itself.
