Oh So Beautiful Paper

I hope you enjoyed the earlier installment of creative escort and place card ideas!  There are so many great ideas, one post couldn’t possibly contain them all.  Here are a few more ideas to help inspire your wedding day stationery!

How cute are these escort cards? Let me count the ways: The type!  The twine!  The glitz!  Designed by Amy Hardy -  Design8days, photographed by Paper Antler via 100 Layer Cake.

An example of how some of the most beautiful escort cards are the most simple.  Calligraphy by Love, Jenna via A Lovely Morning (left).  Martha Stewart suggests welcoming guests to your reception with these mint lemonade escort bottles – so lovely! (right)

Um, how cute are these library-themed escort cards?  The bride and groom displayed them card catalog-style.  Designed by PAPERjo, photo by You Look Nice Today Photography via Elizabeth Anne Designs (left).  Creative and perfectly rustic mini-stump escort flags.  Photo by Vantage Pictures via Poppytalk (right).

Neutral escort cards are most definitely not boring.  Photographed by Nessa K Photography via Style Me Pretty (left); Calligraphy by Neither Snow via Once Wed (right).

This rustic escort card display could be so easily replicated at any type of event. Photo by Amanda Bevington via Snippet and Ink.

So often escort card holders are overlooked.  These mini-pomander balls are so unique and pack a visual punch.  Photo by Apertura via Elizabeth Anne Designs.

   Hi Liz! Thanks for your comment! Place cards and escort cards are actually two different things. Please check the bottom of the previous post for a description of the different roles for place cards and escort cards.

   All of them are gorgeous, great selection!

   Do you guys not call them place cards? Is that a wired Australian thing or are they different?

   How are you supposed to use the tags in the top image as escort cards? They’re tied to the string.
