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?

these are such a fantastic idea. they look amazing!
Cute idea! They look great. I’m sure your guests will love them!
I LOVE the texture of moo cards on my fingertips. They’re silky smooth! Such a cute, personal touch. I love it!
What a FANTASTIC idea!! They look so nice!!
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!!!!
thanks so much everyone! i had a blast making them, it was super easy to use the moo program with flickr 
mr. cc got me a moo gift certificate as part of a christmas present for me last year, so i was all giddy about making these.
What did you do for the people you didn’t have pics of??? Love the silver cakes
What a great idea and super thoughtful! Maybe we should bust out the new camera and get to taking pics!!
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.
What a great idea! They turned out so cute! I bet your guests will LOVE them!
You have silver cake holders! Whoa…you got style Miss CC!
Miss CC!! You are genius!! I love MOO cards… I’ve been trying to find something to use them for…. just brilliant!
I can’t believe this little project. I can’t imagine rounding up pictures of me and all our guests. They look fab.
Ditto chibride, but wonderful & thoughtful personal touch I would definitely appreciate as a guest. So sweet!
duuuuuuuuuude! i was going to do EXACTLY this but when i started looking through our pictures i found almost no pics of me with friends because i am super camera shy and i usually run from picture taking! love love love the idea, i think it’s so personal and certainly something i’d appreciate if i attended a wedding!
We are planning to do something like this too- great minds think alike! hehe.
Psst, I posted Martha Stewart/Wedding Bee photos

OMG!!! This is such an awesome idea! I’m going to be placing my order soon! Thank you for sharing your idea with us :o)
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.
I am doing this too…how long did it take once you ordered them?
Where did you find blue sticker paper?? i can only find white…matte finish… looking for shiny!!! at least! anyone?
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!
[...] 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!
