Event Planning Guides

Practical, step-by-step guides to the paper side of running an event — seating charts, place cards, tickets, badges, and raffle stubs. Each guide pairs the etiquette and sizing details organizers actually ask about with the free browser tool that produces the printable files, so you can go from "how does this work?" to a stack of finished cards in one sitting.

Wedding guides

• How to Make a Wedding Seating Chart — The order of operations that avoids redoing the chart three times: when to start, table shapes, grouping guests, handling plus-ones and divorced parents, and printing the entrance poster.
• How to Make Wedding Place Cards — Flat vs tent style, wording and titles, the 3.5 × 2 inch standard, fonts that read at arm's length, and bulk-generating a card for every guest from one list.
• Escort Cards vs Place Cards — The difference in one read: escort cards announce the table at the entrance, place cards mark the exact chair. Which your reception needs, and when a poster replaces cards entirely.

Tickets, badges & fundraisers

• QR Code Event Tickets — Making personalized tickets with a unique QR code per attendee, and how to run check-in without expensive ticketing platforms.
• Conference Badges — Name-tag and badge layouts that work on a lanyard: name sizes people can read from six feet, bulk generation from a registration CSV, and printing many per page.
• Raffle Tickets — Designing printable raffle tickets with stubs, numbering the run, and laying out sheets with cut lines so the tear-and-fold assembly goes fast.

The tools behind the guides

Every guide ends in one of four browser tools. They're free to build and preview with, your guest data stays in the browser (nothing is stored server-side), and downloads use one-time token packs rather than a subscription — 3 free download tokens when you sign up.

• Seating Chart Maker — Drag-and-drop round, rectangular, and banquet tables, seat your guests, and print a poster for the entrance easel.
• Pass & Ticket Builder — Templates for passes, tickets, badges, name tags, and place cards, each able to carry a QR code.
• Bulk Guest Passes — Paste or CSV-import a guest list and generate a personalized pass or place card per guest, each with its own QR code.
• Design Studio — Drag-and-drop editor with text, shapes, images, QR codes, and 15 templates, plus a multi-up grid that tiles many cards per page with cut lines.
