The Almighty Escort Cards


After having blogger block for the last week or so I have finally been able to think of something else to blog about! The escort card!
Technicalities first...the escort card is easily confused with the place card. The escort card is the the card with the name on it that tells your guest what table to sit at and gives them free range to sit at any seat at the table. The place card is actually at the table and tells your guest specifically what chair to sit at.
The escort card table is usually the first things that your guest see as they enter the reception room. The escort card holds a lot of power because it tells each person what table to sit at and whom they will be dining with that evening.

SOME brides and grooms may get a small high by having this power over their guests. It's one of the fun and frustrating things to do when planning a wedding.

Lately, people have been getting very creative with their escort cards. It's fun to see how a bride and groom make everything, down to the escort card, reflect their taste. Here are some ideas for fun escort card table ideas!

Those umbrellas aren't just for fruity drinks anymore!
How could you not love this! Wine that tells you where to go!
Adding flowers is a great way to spruce up the table!
Here is one that looks nice and simple to make but will give that WOW affect.
I haven't seen this one done yet, but I think it would be fun to have customized cookies for each of your guest. It can be a wedding favor and an escort card all in one!

I really like this one! For those out there that have a green thumb you can put your cards in some wheat grass!

Any other ideas out there?
