using family photos for escort card table

In this post I will discuss various ideas for an Escort Card Display Tables which will include both formal and informal styles ranging from elegant to whimsical. By definition an escort card is a small piece of stationery laid out at the entrance to a wedding reception venue indicating where the guests will be seated. By tradition an escort card is a folded card upon which the guest’s name and table number are written but in recent years bridal couples have become very creative in how the escort cards are displayed.

In essence the escort card displays have become a wonderful way to further express the wedding theme style and colors. The simplest and most traditional idea for an escort card display is to arrange the cards on a table which could be round, square or rectangular in shape. Usually a large floral arrangement is placed in the center of a round table or to the back of a square or rectangular table which can be placed against a wall. To further embellish the table, a beautiful tablecloth can also be used and for an evening reception candles would be a lovely addition.

Another idea for an Escort Card Display is to use large frames in which the escort cards are attached for the wedding guests to use to find their table seating at the reception.

a variation to using individual escort cards would be to list the guests for each table,
