Escort Cards

A while back, I told you all about our table numbers:


And how we took pictures with them in Maine (where we got engaged!):


And I told you about these rubber stamps from Paper Source (because our venue told us it was a good idea to remind guests of their food choice):


And I also bought a "You are seated at" stamp and numbers (well, quite honestly -- my mom bought them)...

But this is how "we" put them together. And I say "we" because my mom actually did this for me. It was overwhelming haha.

So here we go!

These are the insides of the escort cards. They are tent cards... so the top part says "You are seated at" with the correct number and in the picture on the bottom we're holding the table number that corresponds with where they're sitting! (I printed wallet-sized photos).

Here are the opposite sides of the tent cards, so what you see is the front of the card (on top but upside down) which says the guest's name and the bottom of the card with the stamp of their (plus their date's) preferred food choice(s)!

And here are some pictures of the cards all set up during cocktail hour.

Paper Source Stamps

When we had our final details meeting last weekend, our wedding coordinator mentioned that it's usually a good idea to remind people of their meal choice by writing it lightly on the back of their escort card. Well... I went a step further. ;)

At Paper Source (have you been?!) they have these stamps:


...which we purchased today. ;)

And I plan on stamping the back of the escort cards. I don't think we'd necessarily have to write "beef" or "chicken" underneath but we were testing them out.

I like the black better... but the pink is really cute. So I think I'll use the black for all the options except for the kids meals (the chick!) -- and I'll use the pink ink for all the kids meals.

New Layout!

The blog has gotten a face lift!

Yay!



How cute are these place setting name tags?! I love origami!
