Our MOO Escort Cards!

September 24th, 2008 @ 1:11 pm by Mrs. Candy Corn

As I mentioned before, we decided to use MOO cards for our escort cards. I printed 70 or so name cards on sticker paper, cut them out, and stuck each of them on the back of the coordinating MOO card. Here’s a look at the cards from the front in our silver cake holders:



A close-up (the card is light blue with chocolate brown text, which is hard to tell in the photo):

Here’s a shot of some of the escort cards. As you can probably tell, I personalized each card with a photo of one of us with the person (for those we have photos with, which was a lot of people):

L-R (from back): My brother and I; my grandma and I; one of our bridesmaids with us; me with one of my sassy co-workers; Mr. CC wrestling with his brother/best man; Mr. CC with his mom.

Mmmmm MOO cards, drooooool! For those guests who we don’t have photos with, we put a photo of Mr. CC and I on the back instead.

How are you personalizing your escort cards?

I used Moo cards too as my escort cards!!! We used baby/toddler/awkward tween pics of my husband and I instead and tied them to small bottles of sparkling french sodas…they were a hit!!!!

These is such a lovely idea — yet one more reason why I wish we were having a smaller wedding.

These are great. We also used moo cards which I posted about last August (http://tinyurl.com). We used engagment photos and had the guests names calligraphed on the back and tied them to lavender bundles. I love that you used an image of you with each guest — what a project. We included a photos of each guest in our slideshow at the end of the reception.

For those that don’t know “mini moo cards” are only $19.99 + $5 shipping for 100 cards and each photo can be different. SCORE.

I can’t believe this little project. I can’t imagine rounding up pictures of me and all our guests. They look fab.

How ambitious of you to include a photo of you and each of your guests on your escort cards! I am using Mini Moo cards as favor tags with our e-pics on the back. Can I ask you, is it difficult to write on the blank side of the cards? I am afraid that the ink will smear on the smooth surface.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea!!! Anyone tried to write on the mini cards? Can you write on the shiny surface? I was going to get the business card size in recycled paper so I could write in the name and table number. Would love feedback!

Great idea! We’re using Moo cards for our RSVP cards to be included with the invitations, since our invites are long and thin too!

For our escort cards we decided to make CDs of our favourite driving songs and make the label on the front the escort cards- which cuts down on the cost of having both, and plus we only need to make favours for each couple instead of individual! We’re using the the HP lightscribe ones…can’t wait!

Mooooooo. « A beautiful wedding for less.

[...] So, I decided to go with some mini-cards from moo.com. You can upload your own images, and I had thought about doing this, as Mrs. Candycorn from weddingbee did this for her wedding last year, you can see them here. [...]

This is the coolest thing ever… if I only had pictures of me with even 1/2 our guests I would consider it!
