This section explains the best ways to enter your place card list in a computer file and submit it to PlaceCards.com. Please note that no faxed, typed or handwritten lists are accepted.

Your place card list can be entered into one of the following software programs:

  1. Microsoft Word
  2. Microsoft Excel
  3. Microsoft Access
  4. Microsoft Wordpad
  5. Microsoft Notepad
  6. Word Perfect
  7. Lotus 123
  8. Comma Delimited Text File
  9. Bride's Mate Wedding Planning Software (FREE! Download Here)

The place cards can hold up to 2 lines for the names on the place card and an additional line for the table number. Each line of names can be a maximum of 39 character (including spaces).

You can also include two digit table number for each place card. Table numbers are optional. If you include a table number, the last line on the place card will say "Table Number 12". If you do not include them, the last line will say "Table Number ___". You can then hand write the table numbers over the blank line.

 

Word Processing and Text Editor Files

If you are entering the list in a word processor or text editor (such as Word, Word Perfect, Wordpad or Notepad), we suggest you use one line for each place card. If the place card is to have names on a second line, separate them with double slashes ( // ).

For example:

Mr. Arthur Fisch // Ms. Lucille Demartino <-------- 1st place card with names on 2 lines

Mr. and Dr. Bernard Brandle <-------- 2nd place card with names on 1 lines

Mr. Jason Strum <-------- 3rd place card, etc.

You should continue this process with as many lines as needed to complete the place card list.

If you plan to include the optional table numbers, simply enter the table numbers before the names and place a double slash after the number.

For example:

13 // Ms. Dailan Swann // Mr. Terrence Golden <----- 1st card with Table Number 13

9 // Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Peterson <------ 2nd card with Table Number 9

6 // Mr. Stephen Van Elslander <------ 3rd card, Table Number 6, etc.

 

Spreadsheet Lists

If you use a spreadsheet for the place card list (Microsoft Excel or Lotus 123), create two columns in the spreadsheet for the names on the place cards. Column 1 would be line 1 on the place card and column 2 would be the second line on the place card. If you only need one line for the names on a particular place card, leave column 2 blank.

If you plan on including table numbers, create a third column for the table numbers.

For example:

Column 1
Column 2
Table Number (optional)
Ms. Dailan Swann
Mr. Terrence Golden
13
Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Peterson
.
9
Mr. Stephen Van Elslander
.
6

Remember that each of the two lines on the place card can have up to 39 characters (including spaces) for the guests' names. The table number line would be limited to 2 digits for the table number.
