# Place card maker

Paste your guest list, one name per line, and get folding tent cards laid out several to a sheet, with crop marks, cutting lines and a fold line on every card.

## How the cards are laid out

Every line of your list becomes one card. Each card prints flat at twice its folded height: the lower half is the front, and the upper half is printed upside down, so after folding it reads the right way up for the guest sitting opposite. Untick *Name on both sides* to leave the back plain. Text after a bar (|) or a tab becomes a smaller second line for a table number, a meal choice or a title, and long names shrink to fit on one line.

The three sizes fit 9, 6 or 4 cards on a US Letter or A4 sheet, centred with at least a quarter inch of margin so nothing lands in the strip your printer cannot reach.

## Cutting and folding

1. Print at 100% scale on card stock, with background graphics on.
2. Cut along the dashed lines. The crop marks in the margin line up with every edge, which helps with a paper trimmer.
3. Score along the dotted fold line with a ruler and a blunt edge, such as the back of a butter knife, then fold the printed side outwards.

## Questions

**How many guests can I add?**

Up to 400 names. The line under the preview tells you how many sheets the list needs, and every sheet prints in one go.

**Will these line up with pre-cut place card sheets from a shop?**

Probably not: branded perforated sheets each use their own positions. Print on plain card stock and cut along the lines instead.

**Is my guest list saved anywhere?**

Only in your own browser's local storage, so it is still there next time. Nothing is uploaded. Clear the list to remove it.
