What is a wedding place card?
A place card is the small name card set at each guest’s place, showing who sits there — usually with their name and table, sometimes a meal note for plated service.
In Lovely Seating a place card template isn’t a blank card you retype names into. Cards are generated from your seated plan — one for every guest with a table — so the names, display names and tables are already right. Choose a coordinated theme, review the set, and export it as a print-ready sheet. It pairs with the full place-card maker.
Pick a style above and start from your plan — free, with no account needed to begin.
One card for every seated guest
Place cards are built from what’s already in your plan — the display names, tables and (optionally) meals — so there’s nothing to retype.
What’s on each card
The guest’s name is the star. Below it, their table — plus your couple initials and an optional meal line for plated service. All drawn from the plan.
Straight from your list
Every seated guest becomes a card automatically — no copying names into a design file one by one.
Prints the name you choose
Cards use each guest’s display name — so a card can read “Alex” while your record keeps “Alexandra”.
Only for guests with a seat
Cards are made for guests assigned to a table. Unassigned and declined guests are left out of the set.
Show only what you need
Keep the couple initials, table label and meal line — or hide them so the guest’s name stands alone.
Made from your plan — not retyped by hand
Place cards are already 90% done: the names and tables live in your seating plan. Why type them again into a template?
Every seated guest becomes a card automatically. If a name is too long for the card, set a shorter display name and regenerate. When someone moves tables, you update the plan once and export a fresh set — no hunting through a design file for that one card.
The set always matches the current plan, in the theme you chose.

Good to know
Cards need a seated guest
A card is generated for every guest assigned to a table. Give someone a table and they’re included; unassigned and declined guests are left out.
Place cards vs escort cards
A place card sits at the guest’s setting; an escort card waits at the entrance to point them to a table. Lovely Seating’s cards show the name and the table — clear for the setting.
More card styles on the way
Flat name cards and coordinated themes are ready today. Tent / folded cards and printable table numbers are coming.
Printing happens with your printer
Lovely Seating prepares the print-ready file with cards laid out and cut guides. Paper, printing, trimming and folding are handled by you or your print shop. Exporting is part of the paid plans.
Wedding place card template questions
Are the wedding place card templates free?
Yes — you can generate and preview your place cards for free, with no account needed to begin. Exporting the print-ready sheet is part of the paid plans.
Do I have to type every name onto a card?
No. Cards are built from the guests already in your plan — just review the display names and spelling in the preview before you print.
Can the place cards match my seating chart?
Yes. Apply one of the shared themes — Blush Romance, Sage Greenery, Classic Elegance, Modern Minimal or Coastal Breeze — and the cards coordinate with your chart and lists.
Which guests get a place card?
Every guest assigned to a table. Unassigned and declined guests are left out of the set, so you print only the cards you need.
Can I include the table and meal on the card?
Yes. Each card shows the name prominently with the table below it, plus optional couple initials and a meal line for plated service.
How are the cards laid out for printing?
Several to a page on a print sheet, in alphabetical order, with dashed cut guides for trimming. You export the sheet as a PDF at the chosen paper size.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Everything runs in your browser — there’s nothing to download or install to start.
