I bet you can guess what’s been on my mind lately — escort cards, and how to display them. I have no idea why, and it isn’t my highest priority right now, but I can’t stop thinking about them. Of course, I went straight to Martha to gather ideas.
I’m thinking a combination of images 1 and 4, and maybe even a little of 3. I have an idea in my head that involves Goodwill, some left over fabric from table runners, a package of yard sale price tags I found at my parents’ house, and some spray paint. I might even throw in a white platter and few flowers. This may be my weekend wedding project. I can’t wait to play with it and share.
How are you displaying your escort cards?

Share this post: May I Escort You to Your Table?
We’re putting our cards on the tables for the guest and then having a chart/map at the front for them to find their table.
But if we weren’t doing it that way I’d be seriously considering #2 
Totally MacGuyver those things, Joey!! I love your list
We decided not to have escort cards since we only have 40 guests and they’re clustered in large groups anyway. i had intended to use luggage tag-style paper tags with their names hand written, to go with our travel theme.
Miss Joey, I have totally been on an escort card kick myself the past week. I ordered some eco white placecards from Paper Source… which was a good base… and now I don’t know where to go from here! Looking forward to seeing your finished project for inspiration 
I am a huge fan of escort cards on a bulletin board, like image 1. Can’t wait to see how yours turn out!
I found this idea for escort cards that I fell in LOVE with, also from Martha. (Oh boo, I can;t leave a picture!)
I think were displaying amongst different size pictures of all our grandparents, godparents, and parents wedding photos.
We are using our favors (jars of jam) as escort cards. I covered the lids with fabric tied on with raffia, and printed name with table assignments out on cardstock and used a 2 inch punch to make “labels” for the top of the jars. I stuck them on with double-sided tape. They are cute….but it took FOREVER to do 75 of them. I’m still not totally sure how to best display them….guess I should figure that out before next week.
I really like the last choice. It’s artsy and decorative and fun!!
I am wracking my brain over this right now. Thanks for some ideas.
Oooh. good timing. I’ve been looking at photos to stir some inspiration. Thanks for sharing and can’t wait to see transpires!
I am planning to do something similar to one. I saw a photo somewhere online where the back was removed from the picture frame and replaced with vertical ribbons of varrying colors. I bought blue (lake) place cards from Paper Source, two vintage frames from a yard sale and grograin ribbon in blue and white and plan to just hang the cards over the rows of ribbon. There may also be some sprac paint involved if I decide the frame should be white.
I was inspired by the last one, but I did it with tented cards and vintage-y looking paper. They were mostly picked up when we arrived, but I saw a pic of them from our DOC, and I think they turned out lovely! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
I’m setting up my favours on a table with tags facing up (jars of honey with a shipping tag) and their name and table name will be on the tag…then I will have place cards on the tables so people will not specifically which seat is theirs….this got me out of having to make a chart with names etc…which frankly scares the jeepers out of me!
