Get Your Badges and Cards Ready

Event List

Use Add New Event to create an event, or click an event's title to open its Guest List. The navigation panel shows the Selected event so you can check which names you are working on. Return to Event List to switch events.

Paper layout, design and print settings are shared across your events.

Guest List

Use Add Guest to enter names, or Import names to upload a CSV or TXT file. Review the names for the Selected event, then use Next: Paper Size at the top right.

CSV Format

Use one person per row, without a heading row. Put the full name first, then an optional detail, then an optional preferred first name. Keep empty columns when you leave out a value.

After importing, check spelling, accents and how the names appear in your design. Each name in an event must be unique. If a row cannot be imported, correct the reported problem before trying that row again.

Import only the information you need on the printed items. Use Edit or Delete in Guest List to correct or remove a name.

Paper Size

Match the brand and stock number on your pack, or choose a plain-paper layout. Check both the sheet size (such as A4 or Letter) and the individual badge or card dimensions. Use Save Paper Size to keep your choice, then Next: Design at the top right.

Next only opens the following page; it does not save the form. If anything has changed, a dialog asks whether to continue without saving. Choose No, stay here to keep editing or save, or Yes, continue to leave without saving. No dialog appears when nothing has changed or you have restored the original values.

Design

Use Preview design to inspect a design without changing your selection. Use Select This Design when you want to print with it, and check Selected Design above the gallery. You can also select or edit a design under Your Own Designs if your plan supports it. Use Next: Print settings when you are ready.

Print settings

Adjust the number of copies, name order, orientation, spacing, colours and custom footer. Use Save Settings to keep your changes, then Next: PDF at the top right. These settings apply to every event you print.

Next only opens the following page; it does not save the form. If anything has changed, a dialog asks whether to continue without saving. Choose No, stay here to keep editing or save, or Yes, continue to leave without saving. No dialog appears when nothing has changed or you have restored the original values.

Use Save Image to save your logo separately from print settings.

PDF

Open PDF and check the selected event, paper layout and design. Use Open Alignment Test to test on plain paper first, then compare it with your badge stock. Use Generate Print PDF to open the badges or cards for your guest list.

1. Choose the same paper size in Big.first.name and your printer settings.
2. Print at actual size or 100%. Turn off fit-to-page or shrink-to-fit options.
3. Check the paper orientation and feed direction before adjusting alignment.
4. If needed, return to Print settings, make adjustments and use Save Settings before repeating the test.
5. Use Generate Print PDF, check every page, then save or print it from your PDF viewer.

Your browser opens the PDF so you can inspect, save and print it. If printing looks different from the preview, check the settings in the PDF viewer and printer dialog.

Check the Account Limits

Check Pricing for current guest-list limits, event limits and design features. Open Account → Account & Billing to manage your plan, or Account → Account Preferences to change your personal details and language.

Before Your Event

Leave time for a test print and printing the full guest list. For late changes, use Print in the person's Guest List row to print one badge or card. The PDF link in Event List generates an event's output directly using your saved paper, design and print settings.

After Your Event

Keep reusable designs for next time and review which names you still need in Guest List. Use Event List to open or create your next event. If something could work better, tell us through Contact Support.
