For example, could table 1 also include the sponsor's name?** Yes, the table number field allows all types of characters (letters, numbers, characters) so you can include the table name along with the number. #### **Q: Will guests be notified of their table number when it is assigned?** Attendees will not receive any notifications with their table numbers when it is assigned to them. At check-in, when an attendee is checked in, they receive a welcome text that includes their table number. If you need to send table numbers ahead of the event, you can use our messaging system to send an email or text to the recipient group **Attendees**, and use the merge tag **Table Numbers**.  #### **Q: Can attendees see their table numbers in their account?** No, attendees do not see their assigned table numbers in their account. #### **Q: Can I enter letters for a table number?** Yes — table numbers can include letters, not just numbers. For example, “Vegas Table.”   **Need Help?** Did this answer your question?
