Dinner party place cards
A good dinner party is really a seating decision. Put the talkers across from each other and the shy guest next to the kind one.
Free to preview. One payment per event to print.
At a seated dinner party the host is the only one who knows who should sit by whom. A small place card at each setting does that quietly, so guests find their spot and the host stays in the kitchen, not directing traffic.
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.

How to word place cards
A place card only has room for a little, so the wording matters. The goal is simple: every guest finds their name fast and no one feels slighted.
