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).

   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.
