Poster sizes
A wedding seating chart sign has one job: a guest walks up, finds a name, and walks to the right table. The $29 export produces that sign as a PDF in three sizes. These are the sizes, and the wording that fits them.
Make the chart, then export the sign
You do not pick a size and hope the file matches. Each paid poster is drawn at one of these sizes, with vector text and the fonts embedded. Order the print at the same size. Scaling a smaller file up at the copy shop softens the type.
All three use the template you selected: Linden or Atelier. The layout of names is the same idea in each size. Tables are blocks. A table name sits above the guests at that table. Unseated guests are not quietly dropped. If someone is still unassigned, the poster can say so, which is a reason to clear the conflict check first.
The top of the sign is the couple, then a date and a place. Keep that line short. A venue name plus a city is enough. A street address belongs on the invitation, not on a board people read while holding a drink.
Table names should match the physical tables. If a card on the table says “Oak”, the sign must say “Oak”, and the escort card must say “Oak”. Guests will not translate “Table 4” on the card into “Oak” on the poster. Name them once, in the floor plan, and the poster, the cards, and the caterer sheet all use that name.
This sign is grouped by table, not A-to-Z. Under each table name, guests are listed in seat order. People at the easel see the whole table, not one line in a dictionary. If guests will not know which table name to look for, stand the QR from the same export in front of the board. They type a few letters and the seat-finder shows the table. That page is only the lookup, and you can turn it off when the night is over.
Seat order follows the seats you assigned. Drag people before you export if auto-seat’s order is wrong. The conflict check is the last look: unassigned names, an overfull table, a split party, a keep-apart pair sharing a table.
Send the PDF, not a screenshot of the builder. Ask for the size that matches the file: 24×36, 18×24, or A2. Matte board fights glare in a sunny entry. A foam board on an easel is the usual stand. In a dark hallway, Atelier’s light type on a dark ground holds up. Linden wants light on the reader, the way a menu does. The poster is already composed with a frame inside the sheet. Print at 100 percent. “Fill the page” scales the art.
The same payment includes escort cards and place cards, which should repeat the table name in the same words, and the caterer workbook, which carries the meals you leave off the lobby sign. Choose Linden or Atelier on the template page. If the room layout is still a debate, settle it on the ideas page before you order paper.
24×36 inches is the one guests can read while they are still walking toward the easel. 18×24 inches fits a narrower entry or a sweetheart-table room. A2 is the size to send when the printer asks for an ISO sheet. The $29 export includes all three, from the same chart.
Yes, before you pay. The couple names, the date, and the venue are fields on the chart. Table names are the labels on the floor plan. Edit those, look at the watermarked preview, then export. The paid PDF uses whatever is saved at that moment.
No. The poster lists table names and guest names. Meals and accessibility notes go on the caterer spreadsheet, which is part of the same export, not on the board in the lobby.
