Christmas dinner place cards and seating
The good dishes are out and the table is already full. A place card at each seat means no one stands in the doorway holding a plate.
Free to preview. One payment per event to print.
A Christmas dinner pulls in extended family and a few guests who came alone for the holiday. Assigned seats fold the newcomers in and keep the long table from turning into musical chairs while the food goes cold.
What is in the pack
Escort cards
Escort cards tell each guest which table to find. Seatwright sorts your whole list A to Z and lays it out as tent cards, so the entrance table stays easy to scan.
Place cards
Place cards sit at the seat itself. Seatwright groups your guests by table and prints one card each, with the meal choice underneath the name if you added one.
Table numbers
A table needs a number a guest can read from the door. Seatwright prints one foldable tent sign per table, large and centered, straight from the tables on your list.
Seating chart
One poster by the door lets everyone find their seat at a glance. Seatwright lays out your whole list alphabetically with each guest's table beside the name.
