A while back I was debating what style of escort card we should have. I went with the majority of your suggestions and went the glamour option. Since chandeliers seemed to be a very big part of our theme, I decided to go with something like the left picture below.

I didn’t take any pictures of my escort cards in progress since I had to finish them rather quickly, But this is one of the only pictures I have of the finished product. I think it’s rather good.

Here is my friend Julie showing off her escort card.

Making them was simple. I cut squares out of ivory card stock. I purchased a corner die-cut with lace embellishments and punched holes in all 4 corners. I went on ebay and found 100 acrylic chandelier prisms for only 19.95$ plus shipping. I purchased brown organza ribbon and tied both the chandelier prism and ribbon on the place card. Voila! an escort card.

When it came to displaying them, there were many possibilities. Hung on trees like the famous picture below that Miss Pineapple blogged about, hung on ribbons like the picture above, hung on a string making a glamorous clothes line… well this decision La Bosse des Noces (the wedding tv show filming our wedding) took into her own hands.

Since I didn’t have a clue what La Bosse des Noces would do to display our escort cards, I decided to make a poster with all the table numbers and names. That way, the guests could find their table number and then search for the card.

For the board, I used elements from our invitations. I found leftover embellishments in my scrapbooking box and used sticker rhinestones to add some extra glamour to the board. It came out beautifully. Don’t you think?

Here is a sneak peek of the escort display:

How did you display your escort cards?
