Let's
get creative! Escort and place cards are a great avenue to highlight the
overall theme of your wedding and showcase your creativity! Picking
something a little off the beaten path instead of your typical table lined with
plain white cards can be a fun way to spark guests interest, create a memory
and even have their own special keepsake!
You
can do anything from arranging your cards on a vertical frame to using that
card as your favor! For a coastal affair, consider using oyster
shells. They can hold your cards or for a more "cast away"
look, inscribe directly on the shell!
For
a vineyard themed wedding, try a wine cork or even get seasonal with gold foil
leaves attached to a tree for a fall wedding. In this heat, I'm already
dreaming of the cooler weather! My personal faves though are ones that
really show the personality of the couple. I both of the ideas below of
hand-painting Mexican tiles (try Tuscan for an Italian style wedding) with
guests' names or creating a paper flower for each table with guests names as
the petals!
Here are just a few ideas to spark your
own!
