  • Secondary line for the room, host or course {{tent.subtitle}}
  • Table or station number {{tent.number}}
  • Detail line such as guest names or allergens loop: {{tent.details}}

Read the guide

A table tent is a folded card that has to be read from both sides of a table, so the design is fixed and the content is short. What varies is the number of them: one per table, one per station, one per dish. Google Slides suits it because the card is drawn once at its flat size and each row of your list produces a copy with different words on it.

Mirror the faces and print the set

Lay the slide out as the flat card — front face on the top half, a mirrored back face below the fold — so the card reads correctly whichever side of the table you sit on. Then treat the seating plan or menu as the source: a row per card, with title, subtitle, number and any detail lines. When a host changes or a dish comes off the menu, you edit the row and reprint that one card. Keeping the detail lines short matters, because a fixed layout will not reflow to make room for a paragraph.

Common questions, answered

Can I generate one card per table in a single run? +
Yes. Each row of your seating or station list produces its own card, and the whole set exports as one PDF to print and fold. Change one table's host or theme and reprint that card alone rather than the full set.
How does the folded card print on both sides? +
The slide is set to the flat size of the card, with the front face on the top half and a mirrored back face on the bottom, separated by the fold line. Because Slides holds a fixed layout, both faces stay aligned however long the text on them is.
Can I use my own table tent design? +
Yes. Build the master in Google Slides at your flat card size, using a custom page size, place your branding and both faces where you want them, mark the variable text as placeholders, and generate against that instead of this layout.
What data does it need? +
One row per card is enough: a title, a subtitle, a number and any detail lines. That row can come from Airtable, Google Sheets, a database, a CSV upload or a REST API — most teams already keep the seating plan or menu somewhere, and the cards are generated from it directly.
