The perfect way to escort your guests to your tables — place cards!

Escort cards and place cards — what are they and how in the world do you use them? Don’t worry, Jean M has everything you need to get your guests to their reception places easily and stylishly!

First things first: the definitions.

Escort Cards are printed with the guest’s name and the table number they are to be seated at. They are set up at the entrance to your reception, usually alphabetically so guests can find their cards easily.

 

Guests then take their escort cards to their tables (which you have beautifully and prominently numbered with printed table number cards, and they find their…

 

Place Cards, which are written with the guest’s name and are placed at their individual place settings.

  

 

Be creative — display your cards in rhinestone frames that double as favors!

 
 

Or coordinate the two cards by having them printed with the same design and printed in the same font and ink color. Mix and match paper colors for a colorful look or go monochromatic for classic style. Just find the place cards you love the most, personalize, and add them to your shopping tote, and return to the item to personalize for the other purpose!

Don’t want the two-step process for guests, or just want to save a little money? Just use escort cards printed with the guest’s table number. When guests arrive at their tables and see no individual place cards, they will know to seat themselves at the table.

Enjoy!
