Well welcome to November! Normally at this monthly juncture we would be moving on to discuss and entirely different subject. But since October got away from us AND I am completely obsessed I thought I’d spend this next month concentrating more on all things paper. There’s just so much you could do with paper that it really could have it’s own unique blog. Ok… who’s gonna get started on that?
This post has been percolating in my head for a while now. Only because there’s so many creative options and I predict we’re only going to see many many many more.
Today’s lesson class is about escort cards. Let me first give a little background definition slash clarification on this issue.
Q: Isn’t an escort card the same thing as a place card?
A: Umm… almost… but not quite. A place card is an indication of where one is asked to sit. Place cards are usually on the table in advance to event and before the guests even arrive. The mark the exact seat you would like that guests to sit in. When using place cards the host of the event must be pro-active in creating a way for guests to quickly and easily find their seats. In large scale events guests are usually checked in by an attendant and told their table number or escorted to their seats. In smaller events such as a wedding a nice sign indicating their table numbers is a wonderful and convenient gesture. These are usually called seating charts.
Seating Charts can be used as a stand alone or along with place cards.
Here’s some ideas for using place cards.
So you get the point I bet. There are so many many ways to make the place cards at your wedding or event fabulous!!!
Now onto the craziness that is escort card tables. I have to say thinking up something grand for these tables is one of my favorite favorite things to do!! Escort cards and their tables are a whole different elephant. These cards are usually placed where the guests can pick them up by themselves and be directed to their table. The escort card trend is a huge one and there are so many wonderful and creative ways to go about using these lovely little pieces of paper.
Here’s some ideas from things I’ve found or saved in my online look book.
So you see the possibilities are as endless as your imagination and your local craft stores product supply. Don’t be afraid to get creative with paper, glue, and stuff you find that you love! It always pays off when you have a perfectly suited and totally personal wedding that reflects you and your honey!
