When it’s time to think about what kind of reception escort cards you want for your wedding, don’t be afraid to get a little bit personal with them. Whether you turn them into something the guests can take home after the wedding or you go paperless and eliminate the standard card theme all together, here are 6 ways to be unique with how you do your reception escort cards.

 

1. Add a Personalized Message

Instead of just printing the guest’s name and table number on the card, use this as an opportunity to write them a little personal note. Whether it’s an inside joke or a simple thank you to them for coming to your wedding, the more personal you make it, the more of a chance you have for them to take it home an cherish it forever.

 

2. Use Photos

Take the personalization to the next level and print a photo on the escort card. Whether the photo is of you and your fiancé of you and the wedding guest. If you have a photo booth, you can also leave a space on the card and tell guests to take a photo in the booth and stick in on the card afterward.

 

3. Print Them On Something Other Than a Card

There’s no rule that escort cards have to be on a card. You can print these on a fun item, like a dream catcher, a ribbon, or anything else that has the style and personality of your wedding.

 

4. Let Your Guests Be Hands Free

Instead of having them pick up a card, you can write out who is sitting at what table on a board or a window. That way, guests can swing by, see where they are sitting and stay hands free when they make their way into the reception.

 

5. Display Them Off a Table

Instead of laying out all of the cards on a table and having guests grab them on their way into the reception, you can have them hanging from something more creative, like a mini tree or flower arrangement with branches.

 

6. Turn Them Into Party Favors

Knock out two tasks at once and make your party favors your escort cards. Whether it’s on a bag of coffee beans or a candle that they can take home with them once the party is over.
